Funny, hot, bloody. Once I'd started, I didn't want to put the book down.

I found myself loving and loathing Kitty Collins; this book had me giggling to myself, being angry at Kitty, yet also sympathising with her. The book addresses the hard truths of being a woman and, despite putting a positive spin on the serial murder of men, does consider the moral questions of Kitty's actions.

I went into the book expecting slightly more of a thriller and found myself noting that the Thursday Murder Club would have Kitty found out in minutes. I am, however, glad that this wasn't the case as I think that too much police involvement and aftermath would've taken away from the fast paced plot. 

I enjoyed how the main character's backstory was gradually explored as the plot progressed in a way that made you understand her actions; but didn't leave the reader feeling as though they were jumping between two separate narratives. The ending had a few unexpected twists and has been left open for a possible second book.

This was very graphic so check all triggers before starting. Aside from the obvious plot holes (Kitty would get caught immediately with all that cellphone data) this was a witty and cathartic story. I really liked the audiobook, the narrator captured the characters so well.
