The Wimbledon Poisoner
On sale
18th July 2013
Price: £9.99
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.

Reviews
A very good read, with a few comic set pieces that are comparable to Wodehouse
The Wimbledon Poisoner is a marvelously funny book.
A brilliantly witty writer.
I laughed aloud sufficiently often over this book that it was necessary to sit in a room on my own to read it.
Nigel Williams's comedy of suburban manners is very, very funny; the writing is sprightly, the caricatures spot on.
