Loved this!
I guessed around 75% that saffy was involved but I had honestly forgotten about Simon by then so that was a fun twist! I really loved the writing style. Saffy was so unreliable but still very likeable

This was a perfect blend of funny feminism and serious murder mystery. I found myself saying several times while reading this "no way this is going to happen" and then it does. I love the dual POV, though listening to audio did make it a little hard to keep up which POV there was in. I do wish the side characters, such as Suzy, Finley, and Jonathan's ex wife had a bit more page time. I also wish we could have seen more of Saffy's serial killer side, but maybe we will see that in a sequel?

What I really appreciated in this book, more than anything, was the way that we could understand Saffy's decision and motivation for her behaviors. I could totally see murdering men who are evil, not that I would do it myself.
