What A Way To Go

THE MILLION COPY #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY IS BACK *Available to pre-order now* ‘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… 'Still not over Succession? A dysfunctional family with four inheritance-obsessed children gives the Roy clan a run for its money, with a murderous twist.'
