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 die-hard fans 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 if even a serial killer can have a happily ever after.

a book about a female serial killer that is mostly from a man's perspective.....
The pacing was a little off, but I still was really loving it until the ending when the big reveals started happening (spoiler alert, the reveals were not surprising at all).
I've sat and thought about this book for days, and I am changing my mind. This book was frustrating looking back. Feminist thriller? WHERE?
Thank you Netgalley for this whale of a good time book! I don't know what it is with me and books where the female protagonist is on a hunt for bad men who are gonna get what's coming to them. This was so good! The sibling relationship was top-notch, the snark was there, the fun was there, the waits and turns, a dash of romance and a sprinkling of implausible coincidences were also there. This was one gory thrilling romp of a book! Trigger warnings apply, but go for it if you loved How to Kill Men and get away with it by Katy Brent and couldn't wait for something similar, or if you like the Finlay Donovan series but want to dip your toes into something more graphic.
