  Mr. Peanut by Adam Ross. Wikipedia link.

  Mesmerizing, exhilarating, and profoundly moving, Mr. Peanut is a police procedural of the soul, a poignant investigation of the relentlessly mysterious human heart—and a first novel of the highest order.

  David Pepin has been in love with his wife, Alice, since the moment they met in a university seminar on Alfred Hitchcock. After thirteen years of marriage, he still can’t imagine a remotely happy life without her—yet he obsessively contemplates her demise. Soon she is dead, and David is both deeply distraught and the prime suspect.

  • Goodreads description.

  It has a 3.25 rating. Which seems a little high to me, maybe 😂

    That’s a perfectly reasonable score.
    After all anything >4.7 is great 4.6-4.2 is good, 4.1-3.6 is decent and <3.5 unreadably terrible.

    “Mr. Peanut was described by Michiko Kakutani in The New York Times as “a dark, dazzling and deeply flawed novel that announces the debut of an enormously talented writer”. It was named one of the best books of the year by The New Yorker, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The New Republic, and The Economist.”

    I was really hoping that somehow, a woman wrote this. Yet again, our suspicions have been realized. XD
