# Claws Out!

Diana Leyland has been widowed three times, and she would rather nobody read anything into that. Bella Mackie, author of *How to Kill Your Family*, builds this darkly comic mystery around her formidable heroine. The people who surround Diana are drawn with a satirist's sharp eye, and the story is as much about them as about her.

The book suits readers who like their crime fiction wicked and funny, and who don't mind a heroine who is in no hurry to be likeable. HarperCollins UK published it in 2026, and it is listed as fiction. Mackie's novel is a mystery first, but its humour and its appetite for mischief run through every chapter.
