In The Dangerous Husband, they meet and almost immediately fall in love. Like everyone, they have been alone. He is perfect for her - charming and sexy and awkward and sweet. They are forty; it is time for them to marry and shelter each other. When the honeymoon ends, as honeymoons always do, real life begins, with its surprises. He trips up stairs, falls going down. He cooks a tasty dinner and the kitchen ends up looking like a slaughterhouse. Absorbed in sexual experimentation, he shatters the coffee table. He tenderly wrenches her neck; he breaks her arm. It was turning out that my husband's dishevelment was incomparable, potent, ramifying. It could destroy whole little worlds. It will surely destroy her. Unless she can kill him first.
O tom, že nikdy nevíte, koho si berete, se přesvědčí vypravěčka tohoto napínavého a humorného příběhu. Se svým manželem Dennisem se seznámí na dinner party a je z toho láska na první pohled. Záhy spolu začnou žít, vezmou se a – pak to přijde... Dennis se projeví, mírně řečeno, jako nešika. Nejenže všechno rozlije a o všechno zakopává, ale nakonec nešťastnou náhodou zabije i rodinného mazlíčka – žábu. Pak kočku, psa... A když zlomí ruku své manželce, je všechno jasné : další na řadě bude ona...
