About this deal

Even people who had nothing to do with her father’s treatment of her and her mother got bumped off simply because they are heirs to the fortune she believes is rightly hers. Raised by her less than wealthy late French mother, who begged and pleaded for Grace to be acknowledged by the father who had an affair with her mother, Grace is thirsty to avenge her mother’s pride and to take what’s rightfully hers. One thing is when you expect something from a book and then you realize that's not going to happen, another story is when the book is also outrageously bad. Again, this may be a failing of mine rather than the author’s; we all know sociopaths are incredibly arrogant, and Grace clearly believes she is the only human being fully worthy of the title, so perhaps it really wouldn’t register with a narcissist like her what an incredible risk she was taking. Told in a chatty manner, it reads like the ramblings of your sarcastic friend who's a bit bitchy and tends to exaggerate.

Grace is not an angel, and this may sound terrible, but I really liked her and rooted for her the whole time. The novel’s protagonist, 28-year-old Grace Bernard, sets off on a mission to eliminate all members of her family with an end-goal of seeking revenge on her father, millionaire businessman and stereotypical playboy who abandoned her and her mother as a baby. My blog contains a lot of lifestyle content, with a lot of witty sarcasm, honesty and sass thrown in for good measure! To be clear, I read to escape, and don’t want to see ANY political jabs from either side of aisle, even if their beliefs align with my own.Readers have a front row seat as Grace picks off the family one by one – and the result is gruesome in this dark romp about class, family, love… and murder. It is so refreshing and honestly, I didn’t think that I’d ever be rooting for a serial killer, but somehow, Mackie makes Grace likeable. I love Bella’s writing style (and podcasting and Instagram styles) and so was keen to see what her foray into non non-fiction would be like. Overall, it’s a very strained and long-winded book that never lets you savour the few moments of fun because Mackie cuts immediately to a rambling rhetroic about the vapid nature of the ultra rich and today’s society. Grace Bernard is in prison for a murder she did not commit, when she comes out of her fug and starts writing about that time she killed her family!

She is quite proud of the fact that she got away with it-so when she ends up in jail, accused of a murder she didn’t commit-she decides to brag about the ones she is guilty of committing-by writing about them in a journal that she hopes someone will find locked in a safe, one day after she is dead and buried. She feels wronged, abandoned and short changed by the rich family that refuse to acknowledge her existence, refuse to acknowledge that she is their blood and therefore part of their family, and also, entitled to some of their estate.I don’t aspire to become a Grace-like psychopathic killer, but I would like to imitate certain aspects of her strong but complicated character in my own life. None of these idiots are thinking about climate change, they’re wondering what to wear on the yacht tomorrow. Usually for me, when I take a dislike to one of the main characters, I feel like it's a slog to read through the rest of the book. He had even rejected her dying mother's pleas for him to support Grace, who at that point was a pre-teen, after her death.

Readers have a front-row seat as Grace picks off the family one by one – and the result is as gruesome as it is entertaining in this wickedly dark romp about class, family, love… and murder. I want to shed a tear but I could not care less as her mother died of cancer and not from overworking or anything like that.

it was trying too hard to come across as feminist - but then it also wasn’t very feminist at the same time? 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.
