A funny, heartbreaker of a novel about how (not) to kill your wife
Guy Pickering fell in love with Dorothy when they were just kids. Many years later, instead of enjoying their Florida retirement, he’s plotting ways to kill her. At her request.
Dorothy has received a terminal cancer diagnosis and has asked Guy to help end her suffering. But there’s a problem; he can’t imagine killing her, and can’t fathom living without her. So, Guy concocts a plan to deceive Dorothy with a fake terminal diagnosis of his own, hoping he can saunter through the pearly gates right beside his beloved.
This final romantic gesture goes awry with Guy’s repeated and clumsy attempts. Things are further complicated when a nosy neighbor gets suspicious and a rebellious teenage grandson unexpectedly arrives.
Romance meets comedy of errors in John Grayson Heide’s witty tale of marriage, death, and spectacularly bad timing. A bold and darkly optimistic contemplation of the things we’ll do for love, The Pickerings' Last Tango is as tender as it is twisted.
