Author Bella Mackie is making waves once again with her latest novel, “What A Way To Go,” a dark and humorous exploration of wealth, class, and society’s fascination with death. Mackie, known for her debut novel “How To Kill Your Family,” is no stranger to delving into the lives of the super-rich.
In “What A Way To Go,” Mackie introduces readers to millionaire Anthony Wistern and his wife Olivia, two characters who embody the clash between working-class upbringing and upper-class roots. The novel delves into the intricacies of British society and its obsession with class, offering a unique perspective on the lives of the “ghost citizens” of the upper echelons.
But the intrigue doesn’t stop there. Mackie weaves in a true-crime element as a local citizen journalist investigates whether Anthony Wistern’s death should be considered murder. Inspired by real-life events, Mackie draws parallels to the case of Nicola Bulley, whose disappearance sparked a social media frenzy and raised questions about the boundaries of online speculation.
As Mackie’s debut novel “How to Kill Your Family” is being adapted into a Netflix series, the author is eager to see how her work translates to the small screen. With a keen eye for British humor and class structures, Mackie hopes the adaptation stays true to its roots and resonates with audiences both in the UK and beyond.
With her sharp wit and keen observations, Bella Mackie continues to captivate readers with her latest novel, offering a fresh perspective on wealth, class, and the darker side of society’s fascination with the lives of the super-rich.
