8.8.2026 - Getting Away With Murder

 Getting Away with Murder by Shari Lapena

Many thanks to NetGalley and Viking Penguin | Pamela Dorman Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by a favorite, Shari Lapena.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!

Jill and Ted are happily married, love their renovated NY brownstone, and have money to spare.  Well...not really.  Unbeknownst to Jill, Ted's inheritance is almost gone and his sure-fire investment tanked.  How can they maintain their home and lifestyle?  If Ted's brother was gone, Ted would inherit all his money which would solve all their problems.  But can they get away with murder?

This was a fun, fast-paced thriller where you know from the start who did it.  The only question is if they can get away with it.  There aren't any likable characters here and you may find yourself resenting the rich person privilege most of these people have.  But watching them try to stay out of trouble is lots of fun.  There were a few jaw-dropping scenes that I wasn't expecting, but no spoilers here.  Pack this along in your beach bag for some summer thriller fun!
