What a Way to Go
by
When a sinfully wealthy financial scion allegedly dies in a freak "accident" at his lavish 60th birthday party celebration, the suspect list is sky-high.
This satirical tale about a dysfunctional family with four inheritance-obsessed children did not disappoint.
The book unfolds from three POVs:
* The deceased financial scion, commenting from his temporary "resting spot" in his afterlife
* The financial scion's widow
* A social-media-obsessed "Sleuth".
I am a Bella Mackie fan and I especially enjoyed the author's dark humor and wit in addition to the book's scathing social commentary.
WHY NOT 5 STARS?
Although the book was entertaining and engaging, the book was waaay too long and frequently dragged.
This 12-hour audiobook easily could have been an 8-hour book. (Where was Bella's editor????)
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Kimberley Capero, Gabrielle Glaister, and Colin Mace.
Full-cast narrations are always a treat and all narrators did a superb job with the narration.
Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 stars, rounded up.

Thanks for the helpful and honest review, Jayne! I had liked this author's earlier book but wasn't too sure about this one. I'll skip it and wait to see what she writes next.
