TO GET TO THE TOP, YOU NEED TO SNAP A FEW NECKS'I LOVED this! Devoured in one sitting' ★★★★★ ''If Selling Sunset met Desperate Housewives and got wrapped up in a murder mystery' ★★★★★ 'I was just blown away by this book' ★★★★★ 'So funny it should be illegal' MAZ EVANS'A whip-smart, hilarious whodunnit!' BETH REEKLES
'Darkly fun' EMILY-JANE CLARKE Meet the women of Harrington Estates. They're one big happy family. At least, that's what they all say... New arrival Bella is determined to get to the top, and she doesn't mind stepping on some Louboutin-clad toes to get there. No-nonsense Hannah was the rising star, but now Bella's stealing her thunder - and her agent of the year award. Olivia wants it all - the glittering career, the picture-perfect family. But lately it feels like something - or someone - is trying to snatch it away. Then there's poor Claire, who has lost more keys than sold properties - and Bella makes sure the whole office knows it. When Bella is found dead at the open house for a �10-million mansion, everyone's a suspect. They'd all die for that listing, after all. But did one of them kill for it? Fans of How to Kill Your Family and Selling Sunset will love this hilariously dark thriller from Kate Weston, with characters you'll love to hate, vicious office politics, and a twist you'll NEVER see coming. Readers can't get enough of How to Make a Killing:'I adored How to Make a Killing. With its dark humour, catty women, the mounting body count and the twists and turns that led to the final reveal, it was a most enjoyable read' ★★★★★ 'Great book ... gave me Selling Sunset vibes only with a dark twist. It kept me guessing, loved it.' ★★★★★ 'Such a fab read full of wit and whip smart plot points. the characters were a delight to get to 'know in probably all the wrong ways and reason' ★★★★★ 'I loved How to Make a Killing ... a fabulous summer read that kept me gripped, and guessing.' ★★★★★ 'Oh, the drama! I loved this. Everyone was screwing everyone over, meaning every character had a motive, and I wasn't a hundred percent sure who did it until the very end.... And the last bit!!! Loved it.' ★★★★★ 'A dark and dangerous, witty suspense where anything goes, filled with utterly devious characters populating a pacy and frothy plot brimming with deep humour. Deliciously dark and endlessly entertaining.' ★★★★★ 'A smart, stylish murder mystery that doesn't take itself too seriously-and is all the more entertaining for it.' ★★★★★ 'This was such a fun read and one I'd recommend to anyone who loves a bit of dark humour mixed with murder. I laughed out loud throughout...Such a brilliant book and one I'll be recommending.' ★★★★★ 'The reveal hit me like a sculpture to the head. I loved it.' ★★★★★
