MURDER IS HER MASTERPIECE.
What use is a part-time serial killer who doesn't want to kill people? Once the terror of rude and irritating people everywhere, now Claire has lost her murderous mojo. Not even the overly chatty woman in the supermarket or the man who stole her neighbour's dog can motivate her to get out the zip ties.
Then a lucky break and a new job in the local pub gives Claire the perfect target: someone is spiking drinks and causing mayhem. But as Claire closes in on the culprit, punters start dropping like flies - and for once she's not the one doing the killing. Is someone else murdering on her patch? Claire has questions. And she's not afraid to use her hammer to get answers...
"Wallace writes wonderfully witty prose and makes it easy to sympathise with Claire's fury, even if few of us ever go quite as far as she does in satisfying our rage" - Literary Review
"Hilariously evil and scarily funny... I couldn't put The Art of Getting Hammered down. That's a testament to Wallace's ability to spin a story" - Buzz
