Meet Kitty Collins.

FRIEND. LOVER. KILLER.

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 My Sister the Serial Killer, How to Kill Your Family and Killing Eve will love this wickedly clever novel!

Reviews for How to Kill Men and Get Away With It

[Bontle Senne · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Dark and delightful! Not quite funny but amusing in its fury. Trigger warning for many mentions of sexual violence but would still recommend.

[Carmel Ita · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Started so well, I really enjoyed the radicality and dark sense of humour - unfortunately to finish with an annoying and unbelievable ending. The character lost me and my sympathy during the last part of the story. Good reading though!

Fun audiobook specially if you are vegan! *wink* will definitely read more from the author.

Is anybody else facing an issue with the audiobook it’s showing me previews and not the full audio!

Kitty is an upper middle-class Londoner with a lot of money, a lot of righteous anger, and a lot of free time.
So it's only natural that her favorite hobby is murder.


Good enough writing, but a grim story overall.
Overly privileged girl who can't see that she is so entitled, she even thinks other people's lives are hers.

I like the overall weight it gives to the ever current crisis of violence against women, but Kitty was far too irritating and problematic herself to be a vigilante I could get behind, even imaginarily.

To be honest I think I would have DNF'd it if I wasn't listening to the audiobook while doing a big load of housework. It felt more inconvenient to switch books than to just finish this one once I had started.

Was it funny at times? Yes. But was it also disturbing and weirdly normalising of violent and murderous behaviour based on personal assumptions about someone's character? Also yes.

Not recommended.
