Just finished this book, and I loved it! A perfect setting, deliciously-vile characters, and a relentlessly page-turning plot. This book brilliantly filled the void left by the end of #Succession, and I’m now a firm #RachelNorth fan! #HowTheOtherHalfDie

Very excited to receive an ARC of the latest thriller #HowTheOtherHalfDie by #RachelNorth, via @sarahheditor.bsky.social of #Corvus 🤩🤩🤩 Out June and available to preorder now: www.amazon.co.uk/How-Other-Ha...

Picture of the book cover with a shot of a bloodstained bucket of champagne, and two hands (male and female) on either side holding glasses of champagne, against a backdrop of a turquoise ocean, and an island in the distance. The tagline reads “privilege has a price, but who will pay for it”

Also shown is the accompanying letter from the publishing editor, with a description of the book that reads: “Since usurping her brother as CEO, Geri Chalice has grown the family business into a lucrative global empire. She is revered and feared in equal measure.

On the eve of her seventieth birthday, Geri gathers her brother's spoilt adult children together on the family's private island and tells them that she's ready to name her successor.

Her announcement triggers a frenzy of suspicion, rivalry and back-stabbing. Each of the three siblings believes the role should go to them - despite the dark secrets that they all harbour.

As Geri uncovers the black heart of her own family, will the best among them win the prize? Or will the heirs to the Chalice crown finally get what they so richly deserve?”

I avoid most reviews in general, but when I get tagged in one this nice what am I to do? If you get one of my books as a present for someone this year you are also getting ME a present, thus you are being very efficient.

A screenshot of a header from indie book discovery site shepherd.com showing playwrite and author Naomi Westerman’s three favourite books in 2024: Red Side Story by Jasper Fforde, Yellowface by R. F. Kuang, and Grave Expectations by me, your best friend Alice Bell

A screen grab of a best of 2024 post on Shepherd.com describing why Naomi Westerman liked my book! It reads:

I found Alice Bell's Grave Expectations books (the sequel, Displeasure Island, was published this September) quite by accident in a Little Free Library, and they're probably the most purely enjoyable writing that I've read this year.

A fascinating unique concept: a teenage girl's best friend vanishes, then her ghost re-appears, giving her the ability to see all ghosts, a skill she uses to earn a living as a medium, and solve murders on the side.

These books are very very funny. The humour is very millennial so people who enjoy their murder mysteries on the more traditional side might not love them as much as I do, but really these are the woke, trans-inclusive, millennial murder mystery novels the world has been waiting for, so what's not to love?

Delighted to learn of the Japanese concept of Tsundoku - the art of buying more books than you can read. I suspect I am not alone in being a seasoned practitioner
