How to Make a Killing Adaptation

According to Penske Media Corporation’s news outlet Deadline, Legendary Television is developing an adaptation of Kate Weston’s novel How to Make a Killing.

Here’s how they describe it:

Meet the women of Harrington Estates. They’re one big happy family. At least, that’s what they all say… New arrival Bella is determined to get to the top, and she doesn’t mind stepping on some Louboutin-clad toes to get there. No-nonsense Hannah was the rising star, but now Bella’s stealing her thunder – and her agent of the year award.

Olivia wants it all – the glittering career, the picture-perfect family. But lately it feels like something – or someone – is trying to snatch it away. Then there’s poor Claire, who has lost more keys than sold properties – and Bella makes sure the whole office knows it.

When Bella is found dead at the open house for a £10-million mansion, everyone’s a suspect. They’d all die for that listing, after all. But did one of them kill for it?

Legendary has yet to announce a director.
