What a Way to Go — Bella Mackie (Paperback, 384 pages)

What a Way to Go is Bella Mackie’s ingenious black comedy thriller, blending sharp satire with a twisted murder mystery. Published on 2 October 2024 by HarperCollins GB, the 384-page paperback introduces readers to the opulent yet morally bankrupt Wistern family. Anthony Wistern was obscenely wealthy—French chateaus, mistresses, photogenic children—and now he’s dead. Each inheritor has something to gain…and everything to hide

Muderous stakes and biting wit collide as an outsider narrator obsessed with true crime begins probing the Wisterns. Inspired by Succession and Agatha Christie–style scheming, the story brims with caustic family dynamics, ruthless ambition, and sharp social commentary. "Delicious," "taut," and "ferociously entertaining" are just a few accolades from Marian Keyes, Nigel Lawson, and the Sunday Times 

As the plot unravels, readers are drawn into a labyrinth of secrets, lies, and ironic justice—each character more morally compromised than the last. The pace is relentless, each line dripping with dark humour and sudden reveals. Mackie’s prose is elegant yet cutting, offering a satire of the ultra-wealthy that’s as hilarious as it is chilling.

Ideal for fans of contemporary literary thrillers, dark satire, and domestic suspense—this novel is as fun to discuss as to devour. Add it to your shelf if you love stories where everyone’s guilty, nobody’s innocent, and no one’s safe. Order your copy today and prepare for a murder everyone needed to commit…or at least pretend they did.
