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.
I thought you were fucking with us because of the bad Wikipedia link (EDIT: it linked to the corporate mascot) but that Good Reads link was surprisingly real.
“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.”
wow what a read… what is it from?
Mr. Peanut by Adam Ross. Wikipedia link.
It has a 3.25 rating. Which seems a little high to me, maybe 😂

What a title.
Ahahaha. I apologize. I forgot to direct link to the “In popular culture” section. I’ve fixed it now.
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.

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