Love Letters to a Serial Killer
ByPublisher Description
An aimless young woman starts writing to an accused serial killer while he awaits trial and then, once he’s acquitted, decides to move in with him and take the investigation into her own hands in this dark and irresistibly compelling debut thriller.
Recently ghosted and sick of watching her friends fade into the suburbs, thirty-something Hannah finds community in a true-crime forum that’s on a mission to solve the murders of four women in Atlanta. After William, a handsome lawyer, is arrested for the killings, Hannah begins writing him letters. It’s the perfect outlet for her pent-up frustration and rage. The exercise empowers her, and even feels healthy at first.
Until William writes back.
Hannah’s interest in the case goes from curiosity to obsession, leaving space for nothing else as her life implodes around her. After she loses her job, she heads to Georgia to attend the trial and befriends other true-crime junkies like herself. When a fifth woman is discovered murdered, the jury has no choice but to find William not guilty, and Hannah is the first person he calls upon his release. The two of them quickly fall into a routine of domestic bliss.
Well, as blissful as one can feel while secretly investigating their partner for serial murder…

“i had actually completely forgotten i owned this book and stumbled upon it when looking for thrillers i had. it definitely had the element of a thriller/mystery but i wouldn’t exactly put it in that genre. this was an incredibly fast paced and entertaining read. it felt like we were being shown the worst of those crime enthusiast girls and essentially what some would call a ‘pick me’ girl. you read with absolute frustration at how this woman who claims to be a feminist pretty much pushes aside her morals (and you begin to question how sturdy they ever really were) and hopes to have fallen in love with a criminal. at the same time it shines a light on those darker parts of ourselves that want darkness and even ‘murderous’ excitement in our lives. i think it shows really well how quickly people can change their minds with the ‘right’ motivation. all that to say this book was a really fun and enjoyable read and made me consider my stance on true crime enthusiasts and what that really means”
“I found the prosecution to be very dumb and childish, but amazing writing overall. AND THE PLOT TWIST???!!!”
