HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY: A New Borough Edition by Bella Mackie

"How to Kill Your Family" by Bella Mackie is a darkly humorous debut novel that follows Grace Bernard, an antihero who embarks on a mission of revenge against her estranged family.

The story is told from Grace's perspective as she recounts her cold and calculated plan to kill six members of her family after her wealthy absentee father rejects her dying mother's pleas for help.

Grace is unapologetic and matter-of-fact as she describes each murder, interspersing her tale with commentary on modern issues like self-care and social media. The novel takes a twist when Grace is imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit, adding an unexpected layer to the narrative.

With its witty and subversive tone, "How to Kill Your Family" explores themes of class, family, and the lengths one will go for revenge. It's a compelling read that mixes dark comedy with a thrilling plot, making it both thought-provoking and entertaining.

Funny, sharp, dark, and twisted. Jojo Moyes
