Synopsis

Meet the most irresistible serial killer of the year in this twisty feminist thriller that’s as wickedly fun as it is lethal.

Saffy Huntley-Oliver is an intelligent and glamorous socialite; she also happens to be a proficient serial killer. For the past fifteen years, she’s hunted down and dispatched rapists, murderers, domestic abusers—bad men all. But leading a double life has left her lonely—dating’s tough when your boyfriend might turn out to be your next victim. Saffy thinks she’s finally found a truly good man in Jonathan Desrosiers, a true-crime podcaster who’s amassed legions of diehardfans for cracking cold cases and bringing justice to victims.

When a decapitated body shows up on Jon’s doorstep the morning after his wife leaves him, he becomes the chief suspect for a murder he insists he didn’t commit. Saffy's crush becomes an obsession as she orchestrates a meet-cute and volunteers to help Jon clear his name, using every trick up her sleeve to find the real killer and get her man—no matter the cost.

Darkly comic and addictively readable, Bad Men is a wild romp of a feminist thriller that asks whether even a serial killer can have a happily-ever-after.

“The feminist serial killer you didn’t know you were waiting for. Sensational.”—Clare Mackintosh, bestselling author of The Last Party

Goodreads review by Debra on May 05, 2024

A glamorous female serial killer who only kills bad men. This sounded right up my alley. It's dubbed as "wicked fun" and "darkly comedic" and I did appreciate the sarcasm and wit in the book.

Ok this was honestly so fun - very much in the same vein as They Never Learn or even My Husband. I will always love a woman serial killer MC <3 Bad Men is about Saffy, and unhinged but methodical socialite 20 something who is also a serial killer. She targets bad men and only kills if she has a reas......more
