What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

If you picked up this book because you truly want to get away with murder, you will not be disappointed. Simply turn the page and we’ll get started…

Denver Brady claims to be the most successful serial killer of our time – and that’s precisely why you’ve never heard of him.

But with the publication of How to Get Away With Murder, his manual for aspiring serial killers, that’s about to change.

When a copy of Denver's book is found at a crime scene, DI Samantha Hansen is given the job of tracking down the elusive author.

As Denver and Sam’s stories unfold and converge, it becomes clear that there’s more to both than meets the eye.

And once Denver’s book goes viral, the pressure to find and bring him to justice brings Sam to breaking point.

But in this dark and twisted tale, who is hunting whom?

Rebecca Philipson has turned the serial killer novel on it's head. Clever and all too credible.
Val McDermid, No.1 bestselling author of Silent Bones
'Original and gripping, with a lead character you'll be rooting for all the way'.
Claire McGowan, million-copy bestselling author
Smart, funny and a delight to read. How to Get Away with Murder has a wickedly clever premise, skilfully weaving together a murder investigation and a serial killer manual in this unputdownable story.
Mary Watson, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Cleaner
A twisty, propulsive and memorable debut that richly rewards true-crime aficionados.
Catherine Ryan Howard, internationally bestselling author of Burn After Reading
An absolute powerhouse of a debut. As well as the fast-paced and thrilling plot, the devastating effects of violence and trauma are empathetically explored. The powerful descriptions of Sam’s reactions suggest the thorough research of a writer who cares about her characters, and her readers. How to Get Away with Murder is a whip-smart, insightful thriller with a finale which leaves the reader reeling. And desperate to read more!
Frances Crawford, author of A Bad, Bad Place
Rebecca Philipson's debut is a masterpiece in tension, creating an unnerving sense of disquiet and trepidation in the reader. From page one I was OBSESSED.’
Zoe Rankin, bestselling author of The Vanishing Place
How To Get Away with Murder is the best thriller I have ever read. Gripping, clever, and powerful, Philipson has crafted a novel which had me hooked from the very first page, all the way through to the last nail-biting line. This is an author who does not waste a single scene or word, and knows exactly how to keep a reader guessing until the final moment. That this novel is a debut is absolutely astounding, and I cannot wait to see what Philipson does next.
