THE MILLION COPY #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY IS BACK WITH THE NEW BOOK OF THE MOMENT As featured in Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Sunday Times Style, You Magazine… 'Delicious' JOJO MOYES 'Very funny… I inhaled it' JOE LYCETT ‘Taut, pacy, seamless… a huge pleasure to read’ MARIAN KEYES *Available to pre-order now* ‘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… '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 'The right side of spiky and the right kind of fun, with huge personality' ADELE PARKS ‘It takes a lot of skill to write a novel in which none of the characters are particularly likeable, and yet you still find yourself propelled forwards, desperate to see what happens. In Bella Mackie’s second novel – What A Way To Go – a wealthy patriarch dies at an obscenely opulent party, and we witness the fallout through the eyes of various family members and protagonists. God, they’re all deliciously awful. I loved her first, How to Kill Your Family, and her she seems to have found a rich and poisonous vein. Think a very English Succession, with just as much intrigue, backstabbing, and narcissism’ JOJO MOYES WHAT READERS LOVE ABOUT BELLA MACKIE: ‘Just when you think you're a step ahead, she pulls something out of the bag’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Caustic sarcasm… delivered with elegance’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Mackie’s writing is sharp and funny’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I never thought it was possible for someone to write a book about murder in a light-hearted way. But Bella Mackie smashed it’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Her sarcasm knows no bounds and I love it’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Sparky, slick, wildly compulsive’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Her chatty style which speaks directly to the reader’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Macabre, flippant, and darkly hilarious’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Incredibly refreshing reading’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Her irreverent, withering put-downs and sharply observed comments’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sunday Telegraph «Deliciosamente adictiva y ejecutada de una manera brillante». iPaper «Una sátira inteligente y punzante sobre una asesina sin remordimientos». Grazia «La primera novela de Bella Mackie es a ratos oscura como la boca de un lobo y a ratos desternillante, y tiene un giro final que es un escándalo». Daily Mail «Una lectura divertida y compulsiva sobre la disfunción familiar y la obsesión que tiene la prensa por los asesinatos». Sunday Times Style «Es divertida, aguda, oscura y retorcida, y Grace es una protagonista a la que he animado incluso mientras llevaba a cabo auténticas maldades». Jojo Moyes «Me encantó esta novela». Richard Osman

Läuft bei mir (nicht) - Wie du deiner Depression auf die Nerven gehst (Ungekürzt)

Das Leben wäre so einfach, wenn es nicht so schwer wäre. Der Moment, in dem ein Herz bricht, kann kurz sein. Der Weg aus dem Herzschmerz heraus unglaublich lang. Bella Mackie liegt am Boden: Sie ist Ende zwanzig, in ihrer Ehe gerade gescheitert und kämpft mit tief verwurzelten Ängsten und Depressionen. Bis sie eines Tages einfach aufsteht und losläuft. Erst schleppend, dann immer leichtfüßiger. Schonungslos ehrlich erzählt Bella, wie sie so lange lief, bis ihrer Depression die Puste ausging: Vom erlösenden Moment, wenn man nicht mehr weiß, ob einem nun Tränen oder Schweißtropfen übers Gesicht laufen. Dabei war Sport so ziemlich das Letzte, was ihr zuvor bei all den Zweifeln und Ängsten durch den Kopf ging ...

Jog On: How Running Saved My Life

'Bella's brilliant love letter to running turns into an extraordinarily brave and frank account of her battle with anxiety. A compassionate and important book' Joe Lycett 'Brutally honest and insightful' Jimmy Anderson 'A very relatable book' Philippa Perry Divorced and struggling with deep-rooted mental health problems, Bella Mackie ended her twenties in tears. She could barely find the strength to get off the sofa, let alone piece her life back together. Until one day she did something she had never done of her own free will - she pulled on a pair of trainers and went for a run. That first attempt didn't last very long. But to her surprise, she was back out there the next day. And the day after that. She began to set herself achievable goals - to run 5k in under 30 minutes, to walk to work every day for a week, to attempt 10 push-ups in a row. Before she knew it, her mood was lifting for the first time in years. In Jog On, Bella explains with hilarious and unfiltered honesty how she used running to battle crippling anxiety and depression, without having to sacrifice her main loves: booze, cigarettes and ice cream. With the help of a supporting cast of doctors, psychologists, sportspeople and friends, she shares a wealth of inspirational stories, research and tips that show how exercise often can be the best medicine. This funny, moving and motivational book will encourage you to say 'jog on' to your problems and get your life back on track - no matter how small those first steps may be.
