How To Kill Your Family by Bella Mackie

A razor-sharp, darkly comic debut, How to Kill Your Family follows Grace Bernard — a woman who confesses, with chilly wit and pitch-black humor, to having “killed several people” and then finds herself imprisoned for a murder she didn’t commit. Fueled by class rage and a thirst for revenge against her absentee millionaire father, Grace plots a meticulous, grotesque payback on the wealthy family that abandoned her. Bella Mackie’s voice is mordant, observant, and compulsively readable; the novel blends social satire, true-crime obsession, and an unreliable-narrator thrill that keeps readers alternately appalled and entertained.
