I'm about halfway through and it's amazing. I don't want it to end.

Man meets a woman before they get on a flight from London to Boston. Man has recently discovered his wife is having an affair, says offhandedly, he'd like to kill her. Woman says, she can help. Complications ensue.

The chapters alternate between his narration and hers, and in the middle comes a plot complication I didn't expect. Wow!
