Synopsis
Henry Farr is forty years old. He is suburban, average, conventional - and desperate to be rid of his wife, Elinor. Inspired by a grisly episode in Wimbledon's local history, Farr begins to concoct a recipe for the perfect murder. But his plans go terribly, terribly wrong - and before long, poor Henry's best efforts to set himself free, in fact send him spiralling wildly out of control.

About the Author
Nigel Williams is the author of twelve novels - including the best-selling Wimbledon Trilogy. His stage plays includeClass Enemy, still being performed all over the world, and a dramatisation of William Golding's Lord of the Flies recently revived at the Regent's Park Theatre. He also wrote the Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning Elizabeth I, starring Helen Mirren, while his BBC Radio 4 comedy 'HR' , with Jonathan Pryce and Nicholas le Prevost, is now in its fourth series. He has lived in Putney for thirty years.
Review
The Wimbledon Poisoner is a marvelously funny book. * Daily Mail * I laughed aloud sufficiently often over this book that it was necessary to sit in a room on my own to read it. * The Spectator * A very good read, with a few comic set pieces that are comparable to Wodehouse * New Statesman * A brilliantly witty writer. * The Sunday Times * Nigel Williams's comedy of suburban manners is very, very funny; the writing is sprightly, the caricatures spot on. * The Times *
