This is my first audiobook in decades. I picked a book I had read before, so thankfully I remembered the plot reasonably well, because I found it hard to concentrate, and sometimes wasn't sure who was supposed to be speaking right now.
The story is about a female serial killer who started at 12 years of age with her Stepdad who was a paedophile. No wonder she is damaged but putting a little dog into danger just to get close to a man she doesn't even plan to kill really didn't endear me to her. The story is a bit convoluted, with her love interest Jon being a true crime podcaster who managed to catch a serial killer and is then kidnapped by another one.
There is lots of dark humour but I felt it was too much about podcaster Jon who seems to be catnip for serial killers and not enough about Saffy getting rid of bad men.
