Before reading ''Bloody Women'', I hadn't heard of the author Helen Fitzgerald and by the title and blurb, I expected a standard crime-thriller novel. But early on, I realised this wasn't the case. The novel was a kind of black comedy and written with wit and humour, despite the theme of murder and violence.

So this novel has it all – thriller, drama, whodunit, comedy, great characters and good humour. There is sex and violence, but nothing gratuitous. This may well be more of a woman's novel than a man's (How many men would like to read about a killer who severs penises?!), but any age from sixteen or so upwards. I loved it and will definitely be looking out for more of Helen Fitzgerald's work.

If this book appeals then you might also like to try [[The Dirty Secrets Club by Meg Gardiner]].
