NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND GLAMOUR!
“One of those rare emotionally intelligent books that are also fun reads… Going to keep readers turning pages late into the night.” –The New York Times
“Ingenious…fresh and unpredictable.” –The Washington Post
“Gleefully overturn[s] the age-old ‘woman-in-trouble’ plot…eerie and inventive.” –NPR's Fresh Air
What if the murder you had to solve was your own?
Lou is a happily married mother of an adorable toddler. She’s also the victim of a local serial killer. Recently brought back to life and returned to her grieving family by a government project, she is grateful for this second chance. But as the new Lou re-adapts to her old routines, and as she bonds with other female victims, she realizes that disturbing questions remain about what exactly preceded her death and how much she can really trust those around her.
Now it’s not enough to care for her child, love her husband, and work the job she’s always enjoyed—she must also figure out the circumstances of her death. Darkly comic, tautly paced, and full of surprises, My Murder is a devour-in-one-sitting, clever twist on the classic thriller.

Naja. Gute Premise, aber an manchen Stellen nicht sehr gut geschrieben. Auch ein Problem war, dass manche Handlungsorte wie die Selbsthilfegruppe oder das Spiel einfach keinen Spaß gemacht haben beim Lesen, was ein Problem ist, da dort relativ viel Handlung geschieht. Generell gibt es relativ wenig 'Welt' und nur einige wenige, relativ lieblos beschriebene Handlungsorte. Auch die Figuren leiden darunter, dass sie nur rudimentär beschrieben sind und man so kaum eine Bindung aufbauen kann. Insgesamt gerade noch so drei Sterne.
