What a Way to Go by Bella Mackoe (HarperCollins, 2025)
Fiction
Bella Mackie, What a Way to Go (ISBN: 9780008365950, hardback). Mackie had a hit with her debut, How To Kill Your Family, which had the ring of the classic film Kind Hearts and Coronets, and What a Way to Go promises another spiky tale. To set the scene, we have a dysfunctional family, four-inheritance obsessed children, and wealthy patriarch who dies at an ‘obscenely opulent’ party: a cast of dastardly characters and a deliciously poisonous plot.
