Product details
I loved this book. Richard Osman describes it as "an anti-heroine able to best villainous male protagonists such as Patrick Bateman any day." The Observer calls it "deliciously addictive... brilliantly executed." It was featured in Cosmopolitan and Grazia's best books of 2021.
Meet Grace Bernard. Daughter, sister, colleague, friend, serial killer... Grace has lost everything. And now she wants revenge. How to Kill Your Family is a fierce and addictive novel about class, family, love, and murder.
Jojo Moyes shares, "I've struggled to recover my reading mojo since lockdown. This turned out to be the thing that sparked it back to life... Funny, sharp, dark, and twisted, Grace is a character I found myself rooting for even as she committed the most vile misdeeds."
Pandora Sykes notes, "Funny and furious and strangely uplifting. Grace is a bitter and beguiling anti-hero with a keen eye for social analysis - even in her most grisly deeds, you never stop rooting for her."
The Sunday Telegraph states, "Chilling, but also laugh-out-loud funny. Another corker." Emma Gannon adds, "Addictive... Grace Bernard is one of the most intriguing and bewitching protagonists I've read in years."
The Sunday Times Style describes it as "a funny, compulsive read about family dysfunction and the media's obsession with murder." They say, "You'll be gripped... Grace's emotional detachment throughout will give you chills," rating it 5 stars.
Elle calls it "hilarious and dark." The Observer mentions "ironic twists and caustic commentary on everything from liberal guilt to the consumerist con that is 'self-care' sharpen this debut novel." The Irish Independent praises it as "brilliantly tongue-in-cheek stuff from the Vogue columnist." Grazia describes it as "witty, waspish satire of a murderer with no regrets." Prima calls it "original, funny, unique and such a refreshing read," while Red labels it "a deliciously dark debut novel." Woman's Way concludes, "One very entertaining read."
How to Kill Your Family was number 2 in the Sunday Times hardback chart on July 27, 2021.
