Overview
This four-book collection gathers Bella Mackie's sharp storytelling and candid nonfiction into one set. Readers get two darkly funny novels packed with murder, money, and moral chaos, alongside a heartfelt memoir about running and mental health, plus a companion journal for personal reflection. Mackie's voice is unmistakable throughout: witty, unflinching, and deeply human, whether plotting a family's downfall or working through anxiety one mile at a time. It's an ideal bundle for fans of contemporary fiction and honest memoir, and a thoughtful gift for readers who appreciate an author unafraid to mix genres with style.
About the Books
How To Kill Your Family, Bella Mackie's debut novel, introduces Grace Bernard, a woman who sets out to eliminate the wealthy relatives who abandoned her mother, told with pitch-black comic timing and a propulsive, confessional voice. It became a major bestseller and established Mackie as a sharp new voice in contemporary crime fiction, blending class satire with genuine suspense. What A Way To Go follows a wealthy, deeply dysfunctional family after the death of its patriarch, unpacking greed, status anxiety, and buried secrets with the same mordant wit that powered her debut, while a true-crime-obsessed outsider circles the family looking for answers. Jog On is Mackie's candid work of nonfiction, chronicling her struggles with anxiety and depression and how running became an unexpected lifeline; she pairs personal memoir with conversations with doctors, psychologists, and fellow runners to build a compassionate, practical picture of mental health recovery. Jog On Journal extends that project into a hands-on format, offering space to track moods, movement, and reflections in the spirit of Mackie's approach to wellbeing—not a rigid training plan, but a companion for anyone building a healthier relationship with exercise and self-care. Together, the four books show an author equally at home skewering the rich in fiction and speaking plainly about her own struggles in memoir, giving readers gripping entertainment and grounded, relatable insight.
