This Is How It Happened

A woman scorned vows to murder her ex-boyfriend in “a creamy, dreamy revenge treat” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

He lied, he cheated. He destroyed her life. How difficult could killing him be?

Madeline Piatro devoted four years of her life to her boyfriend Carlton—and, in return, got romance, flowers, and the best sex she'd ever had. But then he dumped her—by e-mail, no less! He used her, he broke her heart . . . and he even cost her the marketing job she dearly loved. Now Maddy’s on a mission. She wants revenge and she wants her career back.

But Maddy’s about to discover that getting even, no matter how justifiable, isn't as easy as it might at first appear—even with a batch of arsenic brownies, the help of a professional (if bumbling) hit man, and the advice and best wishes of her very best friends.

“One of those rare, impossible-to-put-down books. There’s a plethora of black humor, witty dialogue, and plot twists. The unique, unforgettable characters . . . all come together to make one delectably entertaining story. . . . [A] winner.” —Booklist, starred review

“A great read, and great laugh—and now we guys know what’s really going on in there!” —Hugh Jackman, actor and producer
