This Girl's a Killer

By: Emma C. Wells

Narrated by: Stefanie Kay

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.

Great story telling and imagery!

I loved how Cordelia was such a throughout character and how the narrators voice is exactly how I would imagine her to sound like. The twists in the story were great too.

It could have been good

Maybe the performance ruined it for me but I thought it was drug out and a little corny

Average Voice Work & Story

Interesting enough story. average voice acting for this title. It is difficult to tell if I liked Cordelia or not. There is some cringey writing sprinkled in.

entertaining start to finish

this was such a fun read, the audio wasn’t my favorite but the story was so good that it didn’t bother me. overall 4 stars!!

Silly Murdery beach read

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.
