Great fun

Really enjoyable. All characters extremely dislikeable but in this book that’s the point. Another great book by Bella mackie

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.

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

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.

Great concept but fell a little flat

I really enjoyed “How to kill your family” and had high hopes for this book but it sadly, just missed the mark for me. The concept was so good and the three POVs were interesting to flip through, there were some funny and entertaining bits, but I felt it got a little boring. I started to forget who the characters were because of this, so the reveals fell a bit flat.
