Instant Sunday Times Bestseller"Wickedly funny." -People"A gleeful satir[e]." -Sunday TimesFerociously entertaining.-Good Housekeeping (UK)With the bite of The White Lotus and the family dynamics of Succession, What a Way to Go is an uproarious and satirical whodunnit about people behaving badly-and perhaps finally getting their just deserts-from the author of the mega-bestseller How to Kill Your Family.When Anthony Wistern died, he expected his family to make a bit more of a fuss about it. Especially after hed died in such dramatic fashion: skewered by an exorbitantly expensive party decoration in the private lake of his Cotswolds manor house at his sixtieth birthday party, surrounded by the people for whom he most loved flaunting his wealth. And now even death has disappointed him; instead of Heaven or Hell or an empty void, Anthonys soul is stuck in a strange kind of purgatory while he tries to figure out who killed him-before he is finally released from this interminably exasperating waiting room.Olivia Wistern knows she should probably try to appear at least a little upset about her husbands death, but she honestly cant be bothered. As usual, hes left behind an unbelievable mess-financially, socially, personally-that shes going to have to clean up. Their four grown children will be of absolutely no help; she shouldnt have let them become so hopelessly spoiled. And is it just her, or are the police and their murder investigation intentionally getting underfoot? Theres no shortage of people who hated Anthony, so cant they look for a killer somewhere other than her house?While the Wisterns are more concerned about the fate of their money than the fate of their patriarch, one internet sleuth is highly interested in Anthony Wisterns death. She isnt about to let the opportunity to create a sure-to-be smash true crime podcast pass by, not when the murder was committed mere yards away, and not when she has her own history with the victim. Shell make her name and her own fortune off Anthonys death one way or another, whatever it takes. . . .
