Adam Ross has written an amazing debut novel — Mr. Peanut (Knopf). David Pepin has been madly in love with his wife for the thirteen years they've been together. Madly in love, yes, but also fiendishly dreaming of her demise and his freedom. When Mrs. Pepin winds up dead, David is distraught, but suspected nonetheless. Mr. Peanut is at turns an intricate murder mystery, an insightful study of the human heart, and most of all a compelling, painful peek into the multi-layered soul of marriage itself. Beautifully written, an ultimately moving and disturbing, this book will linger long after its last page.
