What A Way To Go

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’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
