How to Get Away With Murder

by Rebecca Philipson · 2026

When a teenage girl is found dead in a London park, a copy of a shocking self‑help manual titled *How to Get Away With Murder* is discovered in her backpack. The book, penned by the enigmatic Denver Brady, claims to be the ultimate guide for aspiring killers and boasts that its author is the most successful serial murderer of our time—hence why no one has ever heard of him. Detective Inspector Samantha Hansen, still nursing the scars of a recent breakdown, sees the case as her chance to prove she’s still the Yard’s top homicide investigator. As Sam follows the trail of clues laid out chapter by chapter in Brady’s chilling handbook, the manual goes viral, drawing a legion of copycats and intensifying the pressure to catch the mastermind. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes that the line between hunter and hunted is blurring, and that the true danger may lie in what the book doesn’t reveal. A relentless, twist‑laden thriller, this debut pits a determined detective against a mastermind who may already be one step ahead—or already among us.
