How to Kill Your Family by Bella Mackie is a darkly comic tale told by Grace Bernard, who’s in prison for a murder she didn’t commit—despite having killed several members of her wealthy, estranged father’s family. With razor-sharp wit, she recounts her elaborate, calculated revenge against the relatives who abandoned her and her late mother. The novel blends satire, crime, and social commentary, exposing the absurdities of privilege and justice. In the end, the real irony is that Grace is punished for the one death she had nothing to do with.
