Details: Condition: Brand New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9780008365981 Publisher: The Borough Press (HarperCollins) Age Range: Adult (18+) Overview: What a Way to Go is the razor-sharp, darkly funny second novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Bella Mackie. Meet the Wisterns: rich, powerful, and morally bankrupt. When patriarch Anthony Wistern turns up dead at his own lavish party, his wife, four inheritance-obsessed children, and a true-crime-obsessed outsider all become suspects. Blending Succession-style satire with a classic whodunnit, this brand-new paperback is the ultimate funny summer read for fans of dark comedy and family sagas. About the Book: In What a Way to Go, Bella Mackie turns her forensic wit on the ultra-wealthy Wistern family, delivering a murder mystery that is equal parts hilarious and hair-raising. Anthony Wistern has everything money can buy: a French chateau, a Cotswold manor, a string of mistresses, and a talent for cutting moral corners. Then he turns up dead at his own party, and every member of his glittering, grasping family suddenly has motive and opportunity. His status-obsessed wife, his four squabbling children, and a true-crime podcast enthusiast determined to expose the killer all circle one another as old grudges and secrets rise to the surface. Mackie, author of the million-copy bestseller How to Kill Your Family, again proves her mastery of the darkly comic crime novel, assembling a cast critics have called gloriously repugnant while keeping readers gripped chapter after chapter. The narrative cuts between perspectives to build suspicion and comedy in equal measure, and the prose crackles with caustic one-liners. Beneath the laughs sits sharp social satire about privilege and greed, drawing comparisons to Succession and Agatha Christie. For readers who love a story where nobody is likeable but everybody is fascinating, this is a wickedly satisfying read. A dark, witty crime comedy from the Sunday Times bestselling author of H
