About this listen

For listeners of Finlay Donovan is Killing It and The Bandit Queens comes a bright and biting thriller following Cordelia Black, a best friend, a businesswoman, and, in her spare time, a killer of bad men.

Ask Cordelia Black why she did it. The answer will always be: he had it coming.

Cordelia Black loves exactly three things: her chosen family, her hairdresser (worth every penny plus tip), and killing bad men.

By day she's an ambitious pharma rep with a flawless reputation and designer wardrobe. By night, she culls South Louisiana of unscrupulous men—monsters who think they've evaded justice, until they meet her. Sure, the evening news may have started throwing around phrases like serial killer, but Cordelia knows that's absurd. She's not a killer, she is simply karma. And being karma requires complete and utter control.

But when Cordelia discovers a flaw in her perfectly designed system for eliminating monsters, pressure heightens. And it only intensifies when her best friend starts dating a man Cordelia isn't sure is a good person. Someone who might just unravel everything she has worked for.

Soon enough Cordelia has to come face to face with the choices she's made. The good, the bad, and the murderous. Both her family, and her freedom, depend on it.

entertaining start to finish

It took me a while to get through this one just because it was so ridiculous and the main character wasn't likeable. I don't think MCs need to be likeable all the time but if they're not, they need to be charismatic. And I didn't find Cordelia particularly compelling. It all felt very paint by numbers (down to the literal blood paintings). sigh. it's possible that the cover raised my hopes too much. it's such a fun cover. I think this book could be an enjoyable beach read if you just want some female empowerment vengeance murder tropes thrown together with some ridiculous panic spiral decisions.

Omg! What is there not to like about Cordelia "Renee" Black? She's living her best life and is genuinely happy, too. That is, until Simon steps on the scene. When things start spiraling for her, she has to think fast on her feet, as she works to keep her job, protect her family, and maintain her vigilante lifestyle. Cordelia is one smart woman, and she'll fight to the very end for the ones and things she loves. Including the bothersome devil dog next door.

Love, love, love!

Cordelia Black is a delightful character to follow as she gets herself in and out of scrapes. However, I found the ending to be a bit rushed and disappointing as a result. Things just wrapped up a little too nicely with a bow for me when I was hoping for a little more edge.

Fun Time But A Slightly Disappointing Ending

Emma Wells introduces the world to Cordelia Black, and I hope there are more of her stories to come! Fans of serial killer dramas like Dexter, will definitely be entertained by Cordelia and her monsters.

Strong female lead

story was predictable but baseline enjoyable mostly due to narrator’s energy. throughout, the author makes a recurring point how “people don’t think serial killers wear high heels” but seems to have completely erased the femme fatale trope from memory. main character uses lust and flirtation to lure in victims—the only minor twist in this generic addition to the genre is the somewhat pandering “bad men” obsession. i think it’s timely and encapsulates our moment but i also do not think that’s a good thing. this feels like watching a lifetime movie in the early 2000s, which—again—isn’t NOT enjoyable. i’m just left w the question of whether it even needed to be made.

Insanely good!

Reminds me of butcher and blackbird without romance. I adored this book. It’s different and I love it. Worth every penny!

fantastic

I enjoyed the characters and the flow of the book. Easy to listen to but kept my attention which isn’t easy. But I never zoned out during this book or wished it was over already. I think it needs a part two!

Worth the credit for sure!
