When Grace Bernard discovers that her absent millionaire father has rejected her dying mother's pleas for help, she vows revenge and prepares to kill every member of his family.

Readers follow Grace as she picks off her relatives one by one – and the result is as gruesome as it is entertaining in this irreverent dark farce, which speaks of nobility, family, love… and murder.

But then Grace is imprisoned for a murder she didn't commit.

I have killed many people (some brutally, some calmly) and yet I am currently in prison for a murder I didn't commit. [...] when I think about what I actually did, I feel a bit of sadness because no one will ever know anything about the intricate endeavor I accomplished.
Getting away with it is preferable of course, but perhaps, when I have long since passed away, someone will open an old safe and find this confession.
The public would go wild. After all, almost no one else in the world can understand how someone at the tender age of twenty-eight could have coldly killed six members of her family.
And then continued happily with her life without ever regretting anything.
