About this Event

We are delighted to welcome Shari Lapena to Waterstones Nottingham to celebrate her latest book, Getting Away With M**der and 10 years since Shari’s first novel The Couple Next Door was published.


She loves her husband.

But she might love their house more.

Jill and Ted adore their New York brownstone the way others adore their children. They have carefully, expensively, made every inch of it their own. It reflects who they are, their status and tastes. With the grand mahogany staircase and state-of-the-art kitchen, it is the stuff of glossy magazines and real-estate dreams. It is their sanctuary.

So when Ted’s inheritance runs out and he makes a bad investment, they panic. How can they protect their beloved home and enviable lifestyle?

The answer is obvious. Or at least, it is obvious to Jill and Ted. The death of one wealthy family member could solve all their problems. Together, they will get away with M**der.

As long as they trust each other.
And as long as there are no surprises . . .



Shari will talk about her new book before an audience Q&A and book signing.



Shari Lapena is the number one internationally bestselling author of ten stand-alone thrillers. Her debut thriller, The Couple Next Door, was a global phenomenon, selling over four million copies worldwide. It was named WHSmith’s Book of the Year in 2016 and became the UK’s No. 1 bestselling adult fiction title in 2017. Her recent novels include Everyone Here Is Lying and She Didn’t See It Coming. All of Shari’s thrillers have been Sunday Times and New York Times bestsellers, and three have been selected for the Richard & Judy Book Club.


A former lawyer and English teacher, Shari now writes from a farm in Ontario. Her books are published in forty territories, translated into dozens of languages, and optioned for film and television.
