About this listen

***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 story is okay, just a little 2D. The narrator did a great job though and I enjoyed listening to it. Works well as an audiobook to keep you company whilst you go about your day, and there’s no need to rewind if you miss a bit as the plot is (a little too?) easy to follow.

Well written with twist & turns. Interesting characters with a great storyline, that has a clever ending. Looking forward to the next book.

Very similar scenario to Sweet Pea. Not sure which came first and not bothered either.

Dark humour, few laugh out loud witticism ( his blood got everywhere and I can’t believe I had to throw away my white Max Mara trousers)
The target audience is very much young female, which i am not, but still found it rather good in a guilty secret type way.

Fabulous narration to boot.

I would not have tried this had it not been on special offer, but I’m so glad I did. It’s a joy. Beautifully written, clever and original. The character are really well drawn and the narration perfect. Looking forward to more from this author.

This is brilliant!
