SAFFY HUNTLEY-OLIVER is beautiful, charming, rich, and in her spare time she's a serial killer. For the past fifteen years she's been hunting down and killing bad men: rapists, murderers, domestic abusers. As a hobby, it's not as Instagrammable as baking, but at least it's better for your thighs. The problem is, that it's hard to sustain a healthy, balanced heterosexual relationship when you're expecting to have to kill your boyfriend at any moment. She's lost her faith in mankind.

That's why she's decided to look for a good man instead, preferably one who shares her interests. Jon Desrosiers, with his campaigning podcast, perfect bone structure and adorably messy hair, could be just the guy for her. As the creator of a hugely popular true-crime podcast, he has to delve deep into the psyches of monsters, though he's always been on the side of justice.

So begins a tale of obsession as Saffy uses every trick in the book to get her man. Regardless of the cost to human life...

Reviews for Bad Men: The serial killer you've been waiting for, a BBC Radio 2 Book Club pick

Fans of How To Kill Your Family will love Saffy, the serial-killing heroine of Bad Men. Wickedly funny . . . A damn good read * RED MAGAZINE * The feminist serial killer you didn't know you were waiting for. Bad Men is sensational * CLARE MACKINTOSH * I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a thriller this much. Bad Men is a delight on every page. Saffy is an unforgettable character, funny, charming, horny, posh, homicidal in the tradition of Villanelle or Sweetpea, but also totally original. 10/10 from me * ERIN KELLY * What a great read - revenge-hungry female killer, hot true crime podcaster, body parts a-gogo. What's not to like? Had me turning the pages like a fiend * CJ SKUSE * Fast and furious and very, very funny. Saffy Huntley-Oliver is Villanelle on speed * TAMMY COHEN * Bloody brilliant. Sharp and darkly hilarious * ANNA MAZZOLA * Will have you cheering and laughing in equal measure * PRIMA *
