Bella Mackie in conversation at Waterstones Brighton

Following the huge success of How to K*ll Your Family, Bella Mackie returns with a sharp and twisted new M**der mystery about dysfunctional families and true crime obsessives in What a Way to Go. We’re incredibly excited to welcome Bella to Waterstones Brighton to talk about her brilliant new book.

‘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 the lying starts…
