Kitty Collins, 29, comes from a rich background and doesn't need a job, but earns her money as an influencer on social media.
As a hobby, to avoid boredom and because she had a traumatic childhood (her father hit her mother, then disappeared), she kills men in her spare time. Bad men. She has a code: no women, innocents, homeless, doormen or police officers, don't get caught and have a purpose.
She has three friends, Maisie, Hen and Tor who she would do anything for, and she does. Then she meets Charlie, a Refuge charity founder and CEO, and falls in love.
There are quite a few mysteries: what happened to her Dad, what happened to her boyfriend Adam and who is her stalker who seems to know everything she does?
Her body count at the end is 11 plus one historic, which is pretty good for one woman and one novel, however hardly astounding given the number of horrible men in this book.
This is dark, funny, bloody and completely brilliant.
"Oh, to have the confidence of a very average white male."
