Book Synopsis

'Fans of How To Kill Your Family will love Saffy, the serial-killing heroine of Bad Men' - RED MAGAZINE
'Silence of the Lambs meets Sex and the City' - FT

From million-copy bestselling author Julie Mae Cohen comes the razor-sharp, edge-of-your-seat feminist rage thriller of Summer 2023.

*A BBC RADIO 2 BOOK CLUB PICK*

Saffy has a secret. A secret that she is deeply ashamed of. It's not the fact that she's a serial killer in her free time. In fact, she's quite proud of that. After all she's only killing the bad men. She is making the world a better place.

No, her secret is far worse than that. Saffy has a messy, inexplicable, uncontrollable crush. So while she's busy plotting her next murder, she also has the much harder task of figuring out how to get a boyfriend.

But if there's one thing Saffy knows, it's how to get her man . . .

Praise for BAD MEN:

'Fast and furious and very, very funny' - TAMMY COHEN

Fans of How To Kill Your Family will love Saffy, the serial-killing heroine of Bad Men. Wickedly funny . . . A damn good read * RED MAGAZINE *
The feminist serial killer you didn't know you were waiting for. Bad Men is sensational * CLARE MACKINTOSH *
I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a thriller this much. Bad Men is a delight on every page. Saffy is an unforgettable character, funny, charming, horny, posh, homicidal in the tradition of Villanelle or Sweetpea, but also totally original. 10/10 from me * ERIN KELLY *
What a great read - revenge-hungry female killer, hot true crime podcaster, body parts a-gogo. What's not to like? Had me turning the pages like a fiend * CJ SKUSE *
Bad Men may be a ground-breaking as well as best-selling publication * IRISH EXAMINER *
Fast and furious and very, very funny. Saffy Huntley-Oliver is Villanelle on speed * TAMMY COHEN *
Bloody brilliant. Sharp and darkly hilarious * ANNA MAZZOLA *
Will have you cheering and laughing in equal measure * PRIMA *
Compelling and audacious and so much fun. Bad Men is escapist yet dark, fresh and and surprising, it made me laugh so many times. The perfect page-turner. * CAROLINE HULSE *
Dark, funny, smart and unputdownable * Women's Weekly Australia *
