Dead Babies (novel)
Dead Babies is Martin Amis' second novel, published in 1975 by Jonathan Cape. It was published in paperback as Dark Secrets.[1]
Plot
Amis's second novel—a parody of Agatha Christie's country-house mysteries[2]—takes place over a single weekend at a manor called Appleseed Rectory.
Reception
In 2001, BBC critic David Wood wrote "Amis' second novel ranks among his most incendiary with its mordant wit, black comedy, and sense of the violently absurd."[3]
Film version
In 2000, the book was adapted into a film of the same name, starring Paul Bettany and Olivia Williams.
