How to Get Away with Murder

By Rebecca Philipson

Book Overview

"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."

This fresh debut thriller finds a Scotland Yard detective trying to find the author of a self-help book that promises quite literally to teach readers how to get away with murder, which seems to have inspired London's newest murderer.

Detective Inspector Samantha Hansen has been on leave for six months, recovering from a breakdown she suffered at work, but when a fourteen-year-old girl is murdered in a local park, Sam jumps at the chance to return to the job and prove that she's still got what it takes to be the Yard's most successful homicide detective. One of the case's only leads is a copy of a self-help book found in the victim's backpack called How To Get Away With Murder by a man named Denver Brady.

Brady claims to be the most successful serial killer of our time, which is why no one's ever heard of him. Chapter by chapter, he details his methodology and his past victims, and as Sam's investigation progresses and the details of the book go viral, Sam begins to suspect that there's more to the author than what he's revealed. But in order to find a killer and get justice for young Charlotte, Sam must learn to trust her instincts once again, before Denver Brady--or someone else--really does get away with murder.

Wonderfully Twisty!

This was a fascinating story to read, a book within a book but both connected and needed to solve the current mystery/murder of a teen found in a park with a copy of said book. Now, the author of the book, Denver Brady is absolutely full of it as he brags how to murder and get away with it, even publishing this book. Luckily Detective Inspector Samantha Hansen is back (after a horrible situation of harassment that was not dealt with properly) and invested after seeing the crime scene of the teen. I liked how the MC was not perfect, yet gave it her best despite the PTSD and situations at work. And how she has help from others, including Chloe and Taylor to unravel a very twisty case starting with the book and diving deep to separate fact and fiction in the serial killer known as Denver Brady and turn the tables on him and his crimes. There are lots of twists and turns, backwards slides, but also sweet moments (Like Sam and her dog!) and a very satisfying ending which I did not expect but applauded for the justice brought to the guilty parties! I am very glad I got to read this debut thriller by Rebecca Philipson and I cannot wait to see what other books she will write!
