What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
He wasn’t afraid of me. That was his first mistake.
Scarlett Clark is an exceptional English professor and an even better serial killer. She’s made it her mission in life to track down predatory men on campus and kill them and she’s preparing for her biggest murder yet.
Carly Schiller is just trying to survive her freshman year at college – keeping her head down and focussing on work. But when her roommate Allison is assaulted at a party Carly becomes obsessed with making the attacker pay.
When police start investigating the spate of local deaths, Scarlett starts to realise it’s only a matter of time before her secret life is exposed and everything she’s built comes crashing down with it…

They Never Learn is deliciously dark, razor-sharp, and unapologetically wrong in all the right ways. Layne Fargo crafts a story that feels like sweet revenge and brutal justice all wrapped up in one delicious gulp. A must-read for anyone who believes in women’s wrongs as much as I do

Did not finish. I found the twin points of view broke the narrative of each character arc and their styles were jarring.
Narration was good, loved the British accent even if her character was weirdVRS 2026-04-09
