About this listen

'A whip-smart whodunnit, this will keep you guessing' Red

'A fast-paced thriller with clever twists' Bella

***KATY BRENT IS BACK! I BET YOU'D LOOK GOOD IN A COFFIN IS OUT NOW***

Something bad happened last night. My best friend Posey is dead. The police think it was a tragic accident. I know she was murdered.

I’ve woken up with the hangover from hell, a stranger in my bed, and I’ve gone viral for the worst reasons.

There’s only one thing stopping me from dying of shame. I need to find a killer.

But after last night, I can’t remember a thing…

From the author of How to Kill Men and Get Away With It, don’t miss this wickedly witty and utterly addictive novel, perfect for fans of Bella Mackie, Dawn O’Porter and Killing Eve.

What a fantastic book, the narrator had just the right mix of sarcasm and wit to keep it funny whilst the plot was full of twists and turns. I expected this to be similar to a lot of books in its genre but it was somehow more. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend!

The twist kept me on my toes until the very end!
