‘Taut, pacy, seamless… a huge pleasure to read’ MARIAN KEYES

‘Mackie has assembled a gloriously repugnant cast – everyone here, apart from her rather sweet TikTok sleuth, is dreadful, but in a pleasurably awful way… A dark, funny story of a very dysfunctional familyOBSERVER

Wonderfully wickedRED MAGAZINE

Ferociously entertainingGOOD HOUSEKEEPING

‘Gripping, sharp and funny, this window on the mega-wealthy is perfect for fans of SuccessionWOMAN & HOME

‘Another caustic satire from the million-copy bestseller of How to Kill Your Family i NEWS

'Still not over Succession? A dysfunctional family with four inheritance-obsessed children gives the Roy clan a run for its money, with a murderous twist' SUNDAY TIMES STYLE

‘I was immensely grateful that despite the gruesome way my husband died, he’d done it with his clothes on.’

Anthony Wistern is wealthy beyond imagination. Fragrant wife, gaggle of photogenic children, French chateau, Cotswold manor, plethora of mistresses, penchant for cutting moral corners, tick tick tick tick tick tick.

Unfortunately for him, he’s also dead. Suddenly poised to inherit his fortune, each member of the family falls under suspicion.

And that’s when everything comes crashing down…

Really enjoyed

Very engaging performances, kept me listening. Well thought out characters - however unlikeable they were! Overall gripping listen, and good book to get you out of a reading slump.

A modern twist on a classic whodunnit

Give it a go if you like crime novels but also enjoy things being mixed up a little. The interesting way the story is told from three perspectives does that. If you haven’t already also read/listen to ‘
‘How to kill your family’.

A Clever Story - worth reading

It took me some time to understand each of the characters (beyond she was the wife he was the husband) and get comfortable with some of the narration, but the story is very clever and different to anything I’ve listen too for a while- definitely recommended

Grippy, Funny, Well written

Asolutely loved this book, just as much as Bella Mackie's previous one (which I didn't think was possible)

Wry observations delivered with panache

If you liked the first novel you’ll like this too.
Funny and observational with some nice arcs.

Well written characters & performed to perfection

Another unique story from the mind of Bella Mackie who is now an automatic buy for me. This isn’t as pacy as how to kill your family but the characters are well written and I liked the ending. Could’ve had a bit more action but still worth reading

Absolutely loved How to kill your family - such brilliantly dark and funny story. Pre ordered this in anticipation - Not sure I'll finish to be honest,

Excellent listen

Loved this book, quirky, exciting, funny and imaginative. A modern day ‘who done it’ that had me loving then hating each of the different characters all the way through.

Absolutely fabulous!

I listen to audio books driving to and from my job as a teacher. I often continue once in the house. This story had me hooked and laughing out loud for most of the week and weekend! It has really cheered me up to be honest! The character voices were perfect and I think Bella Mackie must be extremely clever, insightful and witty to portray them with such realism ( I imagine) and humour! Can’t wait for the next one

OK but....

I was really looking forward to this next publication and whilst it was an interesting plot line, it didn't grasp me as much as How to kill your family. Not as twisty as her others but still worth the purchase. I did struggle a bit with the Gabrielle's unusual intonation and speech style but got used to it.
