How to Kill Your Family

by Bella Mackie · 2021

Grace Bernard has never been one to accept the hand she’s been dealt. When her absentee millionaire father refuses to help her dying mother, she vows a cold, calculated revenge – one family member at a time. Narrated with razor‑sharp wit and a disturbingly casual tone, Bella Mackie’s debut follows Grace as she plans and executes a series of increasingly elaborate murders, all while posting about self‑care and social media trends. The novel twists dark humor with a biting commentary on class, media obsession, and the bonds that bind us, even as Grace finds herself imprisoned for a crime she didn’t commit. A compulsively readable, subversive romp that makes you root for a serial killer, this story is both chilling and laugh‑out‑loud funny, delivering a wickedly entertaining look at family dysfunction and the lengths one will go to rewrite their destiny.
