LoveReading Says
From the author of How to Kill Men and Get Away With It, Katy Brent’s The Murder After the Night Before tackles heavy themes with an engaging lightness of touch. Though brutally — and brilliantly — honest in presenting horrifying truths about entrenched misogyny, gaslighting and victim blaming (yep, pretty much the whole box of patriarchal tools!), it’s also hands-down humorous and suspenseful. Ideal for fans of Fleabag, Killing Eve and Bella Mackie’s How to Kill Your Family.
Molly has always wanted to be a serious investigative journalist, like her best friend and flatmate Posey, but she’s currently stuck writing for a pre-teen magazine, covering articles on llamas and alpacas. After a drunken Christmas office party in the basement of a Soho pub, Molly wakes up with a strange man next to her in bed. She has no idea who he is, how she got home, or what happened last night.
After discovering what she did, and realising her drunken act has gone mega-viral (cue a whole lot of hideous slut-shaming), Molly finds Posey’s dead body in their bath. And so she sets about tracking down her best friend’s killer in an edge-of-your seat thriller that throngs with secrets, escalating conspiracy, murder and revenge.
