Peter Gord is a simple man with simple tastes. He loves cooking and baking, window shopping for bakeware and kitchen appliances and checking out the latest cookbooks. Unemployed Peter enjoys these things in between doing the housework. And Peter's greatest pleasure is fantasizing about murdering his wife Delores. Brash, overbearing Delores, takes every opportunity to belittle Peter. In his mind, Peter gets his revenge by slashing her throat or baking ground glass into her cookies. When Peter finally gets a job with a local charity helping the poor and homeless, his fantasies become darker and more brutal. Of course he wouldn't really act on them..Would he?
A delightful and heart warming tale about how to keep a marriage spicy, even when dealing with crusty British traditions. This is, of course, tongue in cheek. Once again Michael Elliot has written a grand horror story that left me creeped out and chuckling. Love it.
