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… Advance praise for Getting Away with Murder
"Getting Away with Murder is a bold, twisty read that flies by at breakneck speed. Buckle up for a wild ride because you won't get these characters-or their actions-out of your mind anytime soon. My favorite Lapena book yet!"
-Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of It's Not Her
"Getting Away with Murder is one of those brilliantly gripping thrillers you just cannot stop reading. Unfolding in layers it builds to form a compelling and claustrophobic moral dilemma. I was hooked."
-Jennie Godfrey, international bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things
