Crime and Thrillers
Katy’s life will forever change when her new boyfriend, Brian, assaults her after a prayer meeting, one that was supposed to help her to stay ‘good’. Her guilt, shame and the blame she suffers after this ordeal, pushes Katy towards a completely new path. Instead of letting this horrific incident make her a victim, Katy vows to get revenge, not only on her boyfriend but on anyone trying to coerce or manipulate women. Unfortunately for some, Katy doesn’t do things by halves.
Katy’s respectable job as the principal of a primary school, her polite, composed manner and her seemingly perfect family life with her two daughters and husband prove a worthy screen for her crusade. Katy’s intimate stream of consciousness, sometimes moral, reveals the dark wit of a woman who maintains her light and breezy attitude to life whilst leaving in her wake the perfect storm – the ideal multi-tasking femme fatale.
When the opportunity arises for Katy to meet up again with Brian, it’s inevitable that she tells him the truth. They have a daughter. Katy’s nonchalant attitude contrasts starkly with the vicious ends that befall her victims. But her story, and events, will take a shocking turn

The core strength of the book lies in its lead character whose inner monologue is highly engaging, full of satirical commentary and brutal honesty. She’s both relatable (the successful professional, the mum) and morally complex, making her every action feel dangerously compelling. Set in Northern Ireland, the language is refreshingly colloquial, delivering moments of high amusement while quickly shifting to moments of true menace and brutality. Don’t call me Baby is a brilliant, unconventional thriller with a compelling protagonist and a unique, darkly comedic voice. It's an intelligent exploration of gender dynamics and moral vengeance wrapped in an utterly gripping narrative. If you are looking for a thriller with sharp social commentary, laugh-out-loud dark humour, and a lead character you'll never forget, this is an absolute must-read!
