Sinopsis

Gumbril, Theodore Gumbril Junior, B.A.Oxon., sat in his oaken stall on the north side of the School Chapel and wondered, as he listened through the uneasy silence of half a thousand schoolboys to the First Lesson, pondered, as he looked up at the vast window opposite, all blue and jaundiced and bloody with nineteenth-century glass, speculated in his rapid and rambling way about the existence and the nature of God.
Standing in front of the spread brass eagle and fortified in his convictions by the sixth chapter of Deuteronomy (for this first Sunday of term was the Fifth after Easter), the Reverend Pelvey could speak of these things with an enviable certainty. ‘Hear, O Israel,’ he was booming out over the top of the portentous Book: ‘the Lord our God is one Lord.’

TV series starring Ella Purnell now on Sky Atlantic! 
The last person who called me ‘Sweetpea’ ended up dead… 
’I haven’t killed anyone for three years and I thought that when it happened again I’d feel bad. Like an alcoholic taking a sip of whisky. But no. Nothing. I had a blissful night’s sleep. Didn’t wake up at all. And for once, no bad dream either. This morning I feel balanced. Almost sane, for once.’ 
Rhiannon is your average girl next door, settled with her boyfriend and little dog…but she’s got a killer secret. 
Although her childhood was haunted by a famous crime, Rhinannon’s life is normal now that her celebrity has dwindled. By day her job as an editorial assistant is demeaning and unsatisfying. By evening she dutifully listens to her friend’s plans for marriage and babies whilst secretly making a list. 
A kill list. 
From the man on the Lidl checkout who always mishandles her apples, to the driver who cuts her off on her way to work, to the people who have got it coming, Rhiannon’s ready to get her revenge. 
Because the girl everyone overlooks might be able to get away with murder…

In Soviet Russia of the 1920s, a dying woman reveals a tantalizing secret: her family’s fortune in jewels has been hidden inside one of twelve ordinary chairs. This confession sets off a madcap treasure hunt that spans small provincial towns, the bustling streets of Moscow, and the glittering resorts of the Caucasus. 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  
4.39 on Goodreads with 24,400+ ratings  
Here's what reviewers had to say:  
"According to a twenty-something friend who recently immigrated to the U.S. from Russia, this 1927 satirical-comic novel is still so popular in Russia that not only has everyone read it (on their own—not in school!) but everyone quotes from it in their everyday speech." 
"The funniest book ever written." 
"A thousand kind of people are living in this book. Rich, poor, old, young, crafty, deceived, brave, coward, intellectual, ignorant... But the thing that brings them together is the same: pursuit of money. Ilf and Petrov successfully and colourfully portrays one of the most important passions of mankind - getting rich."  
"An absolute masterpiece! This was an audiobook for me this time and while I have read it before the audio experience has just amplified my admiration to this book."
