A delightfully twisty and darkly comic crime thriller, for fans of My Sister, the Serial Killer and How to Kill Your Family
I’m obsessed with true crime. All the podcasts, the documentaries… I can’t get enough.
And now there’s a murderer on the loose where I live. What a rush!
Of course, some people might wonder if it’s me. Am I an innocent soul with an unhealthy fascination, or a deadly psychopath?
It’s the killer question. After all, I would love to know how to get away with murder…
Tam Barnett’s debut novel is perfect for readers of Katy Brent, CJ Skuse or Bella Mackie.
Tam Barnett is a journalist, living in London. His debut with Boldwood is How To Get Away With Murder, a darkly comic thriller set in the Wirral.

My thoughts: This could be subtitled “when a true crime obsession goes too far”
Our narrator is a journalist covering crime stories, but one without a home these days, as she’s been let go from various papers, luckily an old friend is editor at one of the nationals, because her competition is at one of the local papers, and she’s determined to get to the story first.
Her obsession with crime leads her to consume a huge amount of it, books, documentaries, the news, to the point where it’s become a bit unhealthy, and now this new serial killer, who might just be someone close to home…
Dark, twisted, blackly comic at times, this is a really enjoyable addition to the genre from a new writer and I really liked it.
