**THIS INDIGO EXCLUSIVE EDITION INCLUDES A DELUXE FOIL COVER AND A BONUS DRAMATIS PERSONAE SECTION**
The tenth thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door.
"Shari Lapena is far and away one of the best psychological thriller writers in the world . . . She is intensely bingeable." —Lisa Jewell
Jill and Ted adore their New York brownstone the way others adore their children. They have carefully, expensively, made every inch of it their own. It reflects who they are, their status and tastes. With the grand mahogany staircase and state-of-the-art kitchen, 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 protect their beloved home and enviable lifestyle?
The answer is obvious. Or at least, it is obvious to Jill and Ted. The death of one wealthy family member—from whom they stand to inherit millions—could solve all their problems. Together, they will get away with murder.
As long as they trust each other.
As long as neither makes a mistake.
As long as there are no surprises . . .

Getting Away with Murder (Indigo Exclusive Edition): A Novel
"Poor writing that feels more like an outline of a story than an actual story. It feels like AI slop to be honest. Very uninteresting characters who aren't villainous enough to loathe or pathetic enough to pity. Rich people can easily be horrible and loathsome, but these people are just flat."
— Heather M. (1/5)
fast paced
"Gettifng Away WIth Murder is gripping from the beginning to end. The characters are unlikeable ( how I love that) and whatever made them think that murdering his brother would be easy and solve all their problems. One of them has a conscience of sorts, one does not. A persistent investigator makes things almost impossible. The pace was perfect, the twists were many and the ending was absolutely perfect. This book was different than Shari Lapena's other books and I really liked the concept, the writing and the plot. Totally bingeable because once you start reading you wont want to stop."
— Judy O. (4/5)
Macbeth Vibe meets Elsbeth/Columbo Suspense!
"Getting Away with Murder is perfect for fans of Columbo or Elsbeth who love knowing the killer upfront! Watching Jill and Ted, two completely unsympathetic, greedy characters, panic and try to cover their tracks gave the story a fun Macbeth vibe. Even though the writing felt a bit uneven at times and the ending was a bit underwhelming, the high suspense kept me turning the pages. A fast, bingeable read!"
— Lisa S. (4/5)
Unputdownable story of lies
"Getting away with murder, indeed! This was a wild ride with a cast of unlikeable but utterly compelling characters. The tension and pacing are kept high in this unputdownable read! Jill and Ted try to plot the perfect murder and reap the rewards all the way to the bank. They are despicable, greedy and morally bereft and clearly not the best at committing the perfect murder. Soon after the deed is done, they receive an anonymous message saying someone knows what they did. This sends them on a paranoid spiral as they try to hang onto their newfound wealth and find the identity of the person who threatens their luxurious future. This is a book where you can't trust anyone. The victim had many enemies and people who would benefit from his death and readers will enjoy figuring out who is out to get the murderous pair! Get ready for a book with horrible humans and enjoy seeing them scramble when their 'perfectly' planned murder goes awry, making them do whatever it takes to protect the future they had planned."
— The B. (4/5)
Not her best.
"I love her books - usually a 2 day binge. I bought it right away, and sadly was disappointed. You know the murderers from the start, the characters fell flat without nuance, and you know the blackmailers from the tiny foreshadow for no other reason, although she waits too long to decipher and makes that part a blip. Then the ending was boring. Read her others they are great, maybe leave this one."
— Shelley H. (3/5)

“You'll struggle to put this one down. A thriller to really go overboard for!” —Cara Hunter, New York Times bestselling author of Murder in the Family
