It’s not often you come across a thriller that is as funny as it is scary but here is such a book with the title a slight give away to the tone. When Cat tries to settle her pre-wedding nerves by sleeping with her ex boyfriends her risk taking solution lands her in a lot more trouble than she could ever have imagined when they all turn up dead and she is the main suspect. A brilliant addition to the genre.
Before settling down to a new life in Italy with her fiance?, Catriona decides to lay her past to rest by meeting up with her previous partners. But on the morning of her wedding, Cat is arrested for murder. Not just one murder, but three. All of the victims were her ex-boyfriends, and all of them were viciously mutilated. So now she’s in jail, and the woman who is writing her biography has interviewed many people in Cat’s life. But no one is telling the truth. This is an ingenious and compelling page-turner, full of twists and dark humour from an intriguing and stylish writer with a growing fanbase.
