Bella Mackie Press Reviews
'Delicious' JOJO MOYES
'Very funny… I inhaled it' JOE LYCETT
?'Taut, pacy, seamless… a huge pleasure to read' MARIAN KEYES
'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
'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

'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'
