'Still not over Succession? A dysfunctional family with four inheritance-obsessed children gives the Roy clan a run for its money, with a murderous twist' SUNDAY TIMES STYLE

‘I was immensely grateful that despite the gruesome way my husband died, he’d done it with his clothes on.’

Anthony Wistern is wealthy beyond imagination. Fragrant wife, gaggle of photogenic children, French chateau, Cotswold manor, plethora of mistresses, penchant for cutting moral corners, tick tick tick tick tick tick.

Unfortunately for him, he’s also dead. Suddenly poised to inherit his fortune, each member of the family falls under suspicion.

And that’s when everything comes crashing down…

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

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.

A modern twist on a classic whodunnit

Give it a go if you like crime novels but also enjoy things being mixed up a little. The interesting way the story is told from three perspectives does that. If you haven’t already also read/listen to ‘
‘How to kill your family’.

The story itself works but I really did not like one character.

I really had trouble listening to this and found it quite depressing because there is not one likeable character in it. Every person is incredibly selfish and thoughtless. It also dragged. The story moved at a very slow pace and was quite obsessed with the London fashionable rich crowd. I did not actually find it amusing at all just incredibly annoying. I think the reader did well with the voices etc and she obviously worked hard and the story was actually quite clever. I just wished I’d liked the characters just a bit.

Witty, dark and brilliantly told

I found it a little slow to start, but I’m so glad I persevered because the whole story was brilliant. Characters are well rounded and I loved to hate them, the story was excellently woven and very entertaining. Would definitely recommend.
