**Actual Rating: 4.75!!
Do you like to be gaslighted by authors? Well, apparently I do since I have committed myself to being a life fan of Katy Brent. This story was just….I don’t even want to describe it because I need my fellow readers to experience the same rollercoaster of emotions and thoughts I have experienced LOL.
The Murder After The Night Before follows Molly Monroe whose world just COMPLETELY comes crashing down around her after partying with coworkers at the company’s Christmas Party. Katy does an amazing job centering women in her stories and naming very real societal issues without watering down anything. I also appreciate the bits of humor that are laced throughout the story to help balance out the anger you’re likely to feel.
The story was fun to read, engaging, will keep you turning pages, and have you feeling like Sherlock Holmes just to turn around and say “B**ch you thought! LOLOLOLOL”. I absolutely enjoyed the experience of reading this book and it definitely had me talking out loud to myself which is nothing but praise in my eyes.
Side Note: The last 7% of this book was W-I-L-D! There was information (not important though) that I needed to know earlier in the story!! LOL
Thank you to Harper 360 and Netgalley for the arc!!
