How to Kill Men and Get Away with It

A darkly funny psychological thriller by Katy Brent that blends satire, suspense, and revenge into an addictive debut novel.

The story follows Kitty Collins, a glamorous London influencer whose seemingly perfect life hides a dangerous secret. After a traumatic encounter with a predatory man, Kitty kills him in self-defense. Rather than feeling consumed by guilt, she discovers that eliminating violent men who prey on women gives her an unsettling sense of purpose.

As Kitty continues leading a double life—fashion influencer by day, vigilante killer by night—she must outsmart the police, suspicious journalists, and those closest to her while maintaining her carefully curated public image. With every murder, the risks increase, and the line between justice and obsession becomes increasingly blurred.

Sharp, witty, and unapologetically dark, How to Kill Men and Get Away With It uses black comedy to explore themes of misogyny, trauma, privilege, revenge, and society's treatment of women. While violent in places, it is as much a satirical social commentary as it is a thriller.
