I have killed several people (some brutally, others calmly) and yet I currently languish in jail for a murder I did not commit.

When I think about what I actually did, I feel somewhat sad that nobody will ever know about the complex operation that I undertook. 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. The public would reel. After all, almost nobody else in the world can possibly understand how someone, by the tender age of 28, can have calmly killed six members of her family. And then happily got on with the rest of her life, never to regret a thing.

When Grace Bernard discovers her absentee millionaire father has rejected her dying mother’s pleas for help, she vows revenge, and sets about to kill every member of his family. Readers have a front row seat as Grace picks off the family one by one – and the result is as and gruesome as it is entertaining in this wickedly dark romp about class, family, love… and murder.

But then Grace is imprisoned for a murder she didn’t commit.

Snarky. Too snarky to be finished in one go, in fact.

life's too short to force myself to finish this. way too many unnecessary rants, and the narration style is really not for me

2 stars just for the idea

A fun and twisted (and twisted) serial killer story about Grace who is out to kill everyone in her estranged Father's family. Lots of great plotting and several interesting twists and Grace is a really likeable character despite it all. I wish the ending had been different though!
