What to expect

***KITTY'S BACK! I BET YOU'D LOOK GOOD IN A COFFIN IS OUT NOW***

Meet Kitty Collins.

FRIEND. LOVER. KILLER.

‘A cathartic novel, I hasten to point out, not a how-to guide’ Lucy Mangan, Good Housekeeping

He was following me. That guy from the nightclub who wouldn’t leave me alone.

I hadn’t intended to kill him of course. But I wasn’t displeased when I did and, despite the mess I made, I appeared to get away with it.

That’s where my addiction started…

I’ve got a taste for revenge and quite frankly, I’m killing it.

A deliciously dark, hilariously twisted story about friendship, love, and murder. Fans of Sweetpea, My Sister the Serial Killer, How to Kill Your Family and Killing Eve will love this wickedly clever novel!

Don't miss Katy Brent's new wickedly witty novel, The Murder After the Night Before, available now!

The narration was perfect! This book was exactly what I needed as a light commuting listen. I found it slightly uncomfortable at the start because of the murder aspect but I really got into it!

Very good narrator, nice clear speech.
The story was good but was becoming a little predictable as to who would be the next victim but didn't expect the surprise ending.
It would seem from this story that London would be the place to commit multiple murders and get away with it.
The Met don't seem to bother with fingerprints, DNA tests and there is hardly any CCTV on the streets.
Seriously though a good book worth listening to.
