'Very funny… I inhaled it' JOE LYCETT

‘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…

Lovely narration

Story was overly simplified and unrealistic. Sisters fight. That’s natural but made to seem extreme. And how six people can dump wives, work, partners, friends, family because they’re beckoned? Over Christmas? To be with someone they don’t appear to like? Lost me at the start but I guess good enough to persevere…

Good fun

A light hearted but nonetheless absorbing and acerbic comedy about how the rich live and die.

An interesting and original story

Trying to work out who had killed who kept me glued to this book The first that I have ever read by this author and will be looking out for others by the same author. A gripping story suitable for a long drive. Recommend.

Another great read

I loved Mackie’s first crime novel and this second one is just as wonderfully written. I listened to it in a couple of days and really enjoyed the multiple perspectives. I hated basically everyone which is absolutely the point.

Fun listen

I’m actually going to relisten as think I may have missed elements of the story as the reveals were a bit underwhelming- and one of the characters voices was unbearable xo
