After Grace discovers her absentee millionaire father won't help her dying mother, she swears revenge on him and his family. The publisher's description is from the POV of the main character, Grace: "I have killed several people (some brutally, others calmly) and yet I currently languish in jail for a murder I did not commit. When I think about what I actually did, I feel somewhat sad that nobody will ever know about the complex operation that I undertook. Getting away with it is highly preferable, of course, but perhaps when I’m long gone, someone will open an old safe and find this confession. The public would reel. After all, almost nobody else in the world can possibly understand how someone, by the tender age of 28, can have calmly killed six members of her family. And then happily got on with the rest of her life, never to regret a thing."
Anya Taylor-Joy stars as Grace.
“As soon as I turned the last page, I knew I had to be a part of bringing this story to life,” Taylor-Joy told Tudurm. “After some (light) stalking of the inimitable Bella Mackie, I could not be more thrilled to be collaborating with the team that is executive producers Sally Woodward Gentle, Lizzie Rusbridger, and Emma [Moran]. I am looking forward to getting our hands even dirtier.”
Taylor-Joy “is the most perfect fit to play Grace,” author Mackie said. “I often think she understands her better than I do.”
