AlbakiReads Editorial

A home, a fortune, and a dangerous plan

Jill and Ted’s New York brownstone is more than a home: its carefully chosen details embody the status and lifestyle they have built. When Ted’s inheritance is gone and a bad investment threatens that life, the couple sees a wealthy relative’s death—and the millions they might inherit—as a solution. The setup places domestic ambition alongside a shared criminal scheme, with trust between spouses and the possibility of mistakes or unexpected turns built into their plan. The novel’s central tension grows from the gap between the polished sanctuary Jill and Ted value and the violence they believe could preserve it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers of psychological thrillers centered on a couple’s shared scheme.
  • Readers interested in stories about wealth, inheritance, and the lengths taken to protect a lifestyle.

Book overview

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

The tenth thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door

"Getting Away with Murder is a deviously delicious thriller that kept me turning pages from the intense opening to the shocking conclusion." --Freida McFadden

"Shari Lapena is far and away one of the best psychological thriller writers in the world. . . She is intensely bingeable." --Lisa Jewell


Jill and Ted adore their New York brownstone the way others adore their children. They have carefully, expensively, made every inch of it their own. It reflects who they are, their status and tastes. With the grand mahogany staircase and state-of-the-art kitchen, it is the stuff of glossy magazines and real-estate dreams. It is their sanctuary.

So when Ted's inheritance runs out and he makes a bad investment, they panic. How can they protect their beloved home and enviable lifestyle?

The answer is obvious. Or at least, it is obvious to Jill and Ted. The death of one wealthy family member--from whom they stand to inherit millions--could solve all their problems. Together, they will get away with murder.

As long as they trust each other.
