Love the way it brilliantly ties everything together by the end. Gives Joe Goldberg vibes. She's cold, insane, and hilarious.

Irreverent black comedy with a fierce edge. A woman serial killer in the UK. I couldn't decide if I liked the main character. I guess I can say that she brought out the worst in me as I laughed at her committing murders and nastily judging others in pain. It's not a book for everyone, but if you like that kind of snark you may love this one.

Ha! I loved this, what a great and original read! It was everything I wanted and more! It had more of a complex storyline than I first imagined but easy enough to follow without it being explained to you overly patronisingly. It had a lot of heart too.
