"Wickedly funny." - People
"Ferociously entertaining." - Good Housekeeping, UK
"Gripping, sharp and funny, this window on the mega wealthy is perfect for fans of Succession." - Woman's Weekly
"A wealthy ghost, his beleaguered wife, and an internet detective narrate this sharp satirical mystery. [A] stinging send-up of the ultra-wealthy...Mackie has obvious fun doling out her characters' just deserts. The story's whodunnit plot, too, is sufficiently twisty and designed with care. It's a strong sophomore effort that will please fans of Mackie's debut." - Publishers Weekly
"Mackie's clever plot has some excellent twists that readers won't see coming...there are many laughs along the way, and it's delicious to see the rich and famous skewered just like Anthony." - Booklist
A hilariously bruising riff on the lengths people will go to justify appalling behavior. - Shelf Awareness
"Mackie has assembled a gloriously repugnant cast--everyone here, apart from her rather sweet TikTok sleuth, is dreadful, but in a pleasurably awful way...A dark, funny story of a very dysfunctional family." - The Observer (London)
"Thoroughly enjoyable, like Succession rewritten by Agatha Christie." - Mail on Sunday
"Succession meets The Good Place when Anthony Wistern, multimillionaire and patriarch of the hilariously toxic Wistern family, is found dead at his own birthday party and now he must determine which of his inheritance-obsessed, morally bankrupt family members killed him. Equal parts dark comedy and page-turning mystery, Bella Mackie's What a Way to Go is sarcastic, witty, and utterly bingeable." - Emma C. Wells, USA Today bestselling author of This Girl's A Killer
"What a Way to Go is sharp, savage, and satisfying. Think Succession with ghosts and guilt. I devoured it!" - Joanna Wallace, author of You'd Look Better As a Ghost
"A blend of Miss Marple-style whodunnit and social comedy—a gleeful satirizing of the awfulness of the 1 per cent in TV shows such as The White Lotus and Succession.” - Sunday Times (London)
"Bella Mackie had a million copy bestselling hit with How to Kill Your Family, with readers adoring the blend of dark humour and sharp wit. Mackie’s latest novel offers a fresh take on the crime genre, focusing on the trials and tribulations of its protagonist with a distinctive blend of satire and insight. Her writing is engaging and brisk, capturing the complexities of her characters' lives and the absurdities of their situations. Mackie’s talent for crafting entertaining and thought-provoking fiction with utterly repugnant characters in her unique voice is clear and present in What A Way To Go." - Glamour
