Nutshell

From literary superstar Ian McEwan Ian McEwan comes Nutshell, a gloriously entertaining, wonderfully imagined novel-a mesmerizing thriller to delight all readers.

Trudy has betrayed her husband, John, who trusts and adores her. She's living in the marital home-a dilapidated, and priceless London townhouse-but John's not there. In his stead is the profoundly banal Claude-and together they're hatching a murderous plan. But, there is an unexpected witness to their plot, who cares deeply about the outcome: the inquisitive nine-month-old inhabitant of Trudy's womb.

Told from a perspective unlike any other, Nutshell is riveting-an unforgettably original, wickedly entertaining, novel of murder and deceit from one of the world's master storytellers.
