A review by sammyelliott_
How to Kill Your Family by Bella Mackie

adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

when I realised this was the same premise as Kind Hearts and Coronets (or A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, if you're more theatre than movie) I thought I knew how the book would end. Turns out, I did not. Honeslty, I'm a little annoyed at the ending, but I get why it ended that way.
