Body Count

The hilariously twisted new revenge comedy from the author of BBC Radio 2 Book Club pick, Bad Men.

Serial killer Saffy Huntley-Oliver’s life is going great.

She’s got a fabulous new boyfriend, Jonathan. She has literally got away with murder. And now that she’s no longer single, she can get back to her favourite hobby: killing bad men.

Particularly Sir Thomas West, a children’s TV star who truly deserves to die.

But there are a few little snags. For one, her beloved sister Susie is still dating that insufferable Finlay. For another, Sir Thomas has a very large bodyguard. And Jonathan himself has given up his job investigating true crime, despite all the tempting corpses that Saffy keeps putting in his way.

All of this would be easy to ignore in the flush of new love. Except Saffy’s never been in love before, and it’s weird. She’s having difficulty separating romance from homicide. Especially when someone discovers Saffy’s secret hobby and starts sending Jonathan coded messages about her crimes.

Is someone trying to break them up? Or trying to hunt her down?
