The Murder After The Night Before by Katy Brent

Katy Brent, author of How to Kill Men and Get Away With It has written another fabulously inventive, funny murder mystery thriller, in The Murder After The Night Before. Brent has a unique sense of humor but is able to balance that with wonderful elements of other ingredients which make the story filled with fun sleuthing, compromising situations…you’ll see…and of course the chase of a killer.

When Molly Monroe wakes up in her apartment from a very heavy night of drinking and discovers a man sleeping next to her, she’s not sure how to react. Did they? Who is he? Where did she go? And she knows she’s going to be sick!

All she remembers is having a bit of a tiff with her roommate and best friend Posey and something about meeting up later for a drink after Molly attended her annual work holiday party.

But what awaits Molly as she tries to remember what happened, is something she could never, ever have imagined. Quite frankly, she doesn’t have to remember as it seems to have been documented and is all over the internet! And to make matters worse, it’s so bad she may be out of a job!

As Molly tries to find out about the night before, her roommate Posey seems to be MIA. Not answering texts, not at work. This is not Posey’s MO. But the day gets only gets worse when she discovers her best friend is dead!

Although the police think Posey’s death was a tragic accident, something inside Molly feels as if they are wrong. They won’t listen to her. She thinks her death had something to do with a story she was covering. So, Molly takes it upon herself to begin looking into the who, what, how and why of Posey’s last investigation. Big mistake?

As it turns out, there is way more to Posey than Molly ever imagined and now she has gotten herself mixed up in something she is sure is going to get her killed.

The book is a sharply plotted, funny, and the ending staggeringly astounding as we begin the journey of The Murder After The Night Before.
