I read “How to Kill Your Family” for my local book club. Read on to see my thoughts and where you can buy the book.

My Review of  “How to Kill Your Family”

I really enjoyed this book! It was not what I expected, and it was certainly something that I haven’t seen in previous novels. This is a crime novel narrated by the murderer, only I found myself sympathising with her and everything that she did. It will make you question yourself, your values and your place in the world, there is plenty of dark humour, and there are a couple of twists and turns along the way. After reading a few book club books that I found boring, this one cheered me up and I read it quickly which shows how much I enjoyed it.

About the Book

I have killed several people (some brutally, others calmly) and yet I currently languish in jail for a murder I did not commit.

When I think about what I actually did, I feel somewhat sad that nobody will ever know about the complex operation that I undertook. Getting away with it is highly preferable, of course, but perhaps when I’m long gone, someone will open an old safe and find this confession. The public would reel. After all, almost nobody else in the world can possibly understand how someone, by the tender age of 28, can have calmly killed six members of her family. And then happily got on with the rest of her life, never to regret a thing.

When Grace Bernard discovers her absentee millionaire father has rejected her dying mother’s pleas for help, she vows revenge, and sets about to kill every member of his family. Readers have a front row seat as Grace picks off the family one by one – and the result is as and gruesome as it is entertaining in this wickedly dark romp about class, family, love… and murder.

But then Grace is imprisoned for a murder she didn’t commit.

Outrageously funny, compulsive and subversive, perfect for fans of Killing Eve and My Sister, the Serial Killer.
