Getting Away With Murder

The new twisty and playfully addictive thriller from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling 'queen of page-turners', author of Everyone Here is Lying and The Couple Next Door.

‘Shari Lapena is far and away one of the best psychological thriller writers in the world.' LISA JEWELL, No.1 bestselling author of DON'T LET HIM IN

She loves her husband.
But she might love their house more.


Jill and Ted adore their New York brownstone the way others adore their children. Styled to perfection, they have carefully made every inch of it their own. It reflects who they are. It is the stuff of glossy magazines and real-estate dreams. It is their sanctuary . . .

So when Ted’s inheritance runs out and he makes a bad investment, they panic. How can they lose their beloved home and enviable lifestyle? Being poor is not an option.

The answer is obvious. Or at least, it is obvious to Jill and Ted. The death of one family member could solve all their problems. Together, they can get away with murder.

As long as they love each other.

As long as they trust each other.

As long as neither makes a mistake.

'A modern master of the psychological thriller.' STEVE CAVANAGH
