Bella Mackie

Instant Sunday Times Bestseller"Mackie has assembled a gloriously repugnant cast--everyone here, apart from her rather sweet TikTok sleuth, is dreadful, but in a pleasurably awful way. . . . A dark, funny story of a very dysfunctional family."--The Observer (London)"Ferociously entertaining."--Good Housekeeping (UK)With the bite of The White Lotus and the family dynamics of Succession, What a Way to Go is an uproarious and satirical whodunnit about people behaving badly--and perhaps finally getting their just deserts--from the author of the mega-bestseller How to Kill Your Family.When Anthony Wistern died, he expected his family to make a bit more of a fuss about it. Especially after he'd died in such dramatic fashion: skewered by an exorbitantly expensive party decoration in the private lake of his Cotswold's manor house at his sixtieth birthday party, surrounded by the people for whom he most loved flaunting his wealth. And now even death has disappointed him; instead of Heaven or Hell or an empty void, Anthony's soul is stuck in a strange kind of purgatory while he tries to figure out who killed him--before he is finally released from this interminably exasperating waiting room.Olivia Wistern knows she should probably try to appear at least a little upset about her husband's death, but she honestly can't be bothered. As usual, he's left behind an unbelievable mess--financially, socially, personally--that she's going to have to clean up. Their four grown children will be of absolutely no help; she shouldn't have let them become so hopelessly spoiled. And is it just her, or are the police and their "murder investigation" intentionally getting underfoot? There's no shortage of people who hated Anthony, so can't they look for a killer somewhere other than her house?While the Wisterns are more concerned about the fate of their money than the fate of their patriarch, one internet sleuth is highly interested in Anthony Wistern's death. She isn't about to let the opportunity to create a sure-to-be smash true crime podcast pass by, not when the murder was committed mere yards away, and not when she has her own history with the victim. She'll make her name and her own fortune off Anthony's death one way or another, whatever it takes. . . .

Outrageously funny, compulsively readable, and subversive, How to Kill Your Family is a wickedly dark romp about class, family, love . . . and murder. Coming soon as an 8-episode series on Netflix, executive produced and starring Anya Taylor-Joy. Bella Mackie's debut novel is driven by a captivating first-person narrator who talks of self-care and social media while calmly walking the reader through her increasingly baroque acts of murder. But then, Grace is imprisoned for a murder she didn't commit.... When Grace Bernard discovers her absentee millionaire father has rejected her dying mother's pleas for help, she vows revenge and coldly sets out to get her retribution--by killing them all, one by one. This darkly humorous debut novel follows a cunning antihero as she gets her revenge. "Funny, sharp, dark, and twisted." --Jojo Moyes 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 twenty-eight, 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.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ‘Bella’s brilliant love letter to running turns into an extraordinarily brave and frank account of her battle with anxiety. A compassionate and important book’ Joe Lycett ‘Perfect for resetting a glum January mindset’ Alexandra Heminsley ‘My kind of role model’ Ben Fogle Divorced and struggling with deep-rooted mental health problems, Bella Mackie ended her twenties in tears. She could barely find the strength to get off the sofa, let alone piece her life back together. Until one day she did something she had never done of her own free will – she pulled on a pair of trainers and went for a run. That first attempt didn’t last very long. But to her surprise, she was back out there the next day. And the day after that. She began to set herself achievable goals – to run 5k in under 30 minutes, to walk to work every day for a week, to attempt 10 push-ups in a row. Before she knew it, her mood was lifting for the first time in years. In Jog On, Bella explains with hilarious and unfiltered honesty how she used running to battle crippling anxiety and depression, without having to sacrifice her main loves: booze, cigarettes and ice cream. With the help of a supporting cast of doctors, psychologists, sportspeople and friends, she shares a wealth of inspirational stories, research and tips that show how exercise often can be the best medicine. This funny, moving and motivational book will encourage you to say ‘jog on’ to your problems and get your life back on track – no matter how small those first steps may be.
