About the book

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...

    Geschichte ok, aber…

    Ein guter Triller mit einer Protagonistin die man kaum mögen kann. Der Titel verspricht eine sehr ungewöhnliche Liebesgeschichte. Hannah war wohl mit die nervigste Hauptperson von der ich je gelesen habe. Man denkt die ganze Zeit kommt da noch eine Entwicklung oder ist es von der Autorin so gewollt? Man kann sie einfach nicht mögen. Ich bin sehr zwiespältig ob ich das Buch mag oder nicht. Zum einen bleibt es mir sicher im Gedächtnis und ich konnte lange darüber philosophieren was mit Hannah alles falsch läuft aber es gibt definitiv bessere Bücher. 📚

    Der Roman war okay und für Zwischendurch gut. Mit der Hauptprotagonistin hatte ich so meine Schwierigkeiten. Viel zu naiv und unmöglich......
