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!

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 have 214.6K followers, and I figure at least some of them are looking to gift books this holiday season, so:

HEY AUTHORS OF BLUESKY: In the comments to this post, tell us (briefly!) about your most recent book, and put in a link to where people can learn more and/or buy the book in question.

Go!
