Bloody Women (English Edition) Kindle版
Before settling down to a new life in Italy with her fiancé, Catriona decides to lay her past to rest by meeting up with her previous partners.
But on the morning of her wedding, Cat is arrested for murder. Not just one murder, but three. All of the victims were her ex-boyfriends, and all of them were viciously mutilated.
So now she's in jail, and the woman who is writing her biography has interviewed many people in Cat's life. But no one is telling the truth. This is an ingenious and compelling page-turner, full of twists and dark humour from an intriguing and stylish writer with a growing fanbase.

In a tiny prison cell sits a young woman who didn’t get married because she was arrested for murder on the morning of her wedding. Not just one murder, three. And these were murders with a particularly spiteful twist, each of the men were missing a vital appendage! The three men were exes of Catriona’s, men she met in the week before her wedding whilst coming to terms with the fact that her home would soon be Italy with Joe and not Scotland where she has been a TV celebratory on an interior design show. So now Catriona sits at the mercy of the prison guard she names ‘The Freak’ awaiting trial and hoping her fiancé Joe will come to visit.
We learn all about this crime through Catriona Marsden own view of events as well as one of those hastily written, sensation seeking biographies that spring up around certain true crimes. Catriona, her mother and her best friend Anna were all interviewed for the book but Cat can’t see any of her words amongst the pages.
This novel shows Helen Fitzgerald’s ability to write black comedy that doesn’t let up but nor does it become in any way predictable. At the time the book was published, 2009, British TV was just coming out of the surfeit of design shows like the one that Cat presented – her comments about the rooms she made-over and her ‘clients’ were absolutely spot-on. She also taps into the culture of the Scots and the Italians, throws a few mental illnesses into the mix and stirs it all up with a few dashes of heartbreak. In other words this isn’t a straightforward mystery, although that element is there too but more a look at life for someone who doesn’t fit into what’s expected.
As the book moves from part to part the change of time and circumstance allows the reader to fill in the gaps with the new knowledge revealed. This is a refreshing type of device, although it took me a couple of pages to find my bearings at each swap point, it served to up the feeling of unease which pervades throughout the book. What happens is there are more people to worry about, because although I didn’t ‘take’ to Cat, or any of the other characters if I’m honest, I did sympathise with her. It takes a stone-hearted soul that doesn’t feel something for a young woman who has lost her way, as so many of Helen Fitzgerald’s female characters have.
I really enjoy the writing style characterisation and pace and this has only confirmed to me that this is an author with a huge amount of talent!
I had no idea what to expect but the blurb was interesting and caught my attention.
The story is basically about a Scottish woman, Catriona (Cat), who’s due to get married in Scotland and then live in Tuscany with her Italian husband.
She’s only had a few relationships with men, all which were quite long-lasting but invariably finished in less-than-happy circumstances.
Her best friend Anna, who Cat has known since school days sticks by her through thick and thin, even when Cat is accused of murdering her ex-boyfriends and put into prison whilst awaiting trial.
The story has some very amusing moments, especially the opening of the book when Cat is asked to identify a penis!!
Lots of twists and turns in the book, one I couldn’t put down especially as the story gathered pace towards the end.
Highly recommend for a great read.
