Love Letters to a Serial Killer

By: Tasha Coryell

Narrated by: Andi Arndt

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…

Don’t love it, don’t hate it

I’m not sure of how I feel about this book. Neither good nor bad I guess. I don’t have any feelings for it

I have never hated a main character so much!

Where to begin with this book. I wanted to love it. It came highly recommended. I would be lying if I said I didn't skip a couple of chapters to get to the end. It highlights everything I hate about the true crime community. The main character is unrelatable, insecure, and completely idiotic. I could see the ending coming by chapter 5. Skip it if you don't want to be annoyed. The only good thing about this book was the narration.

Epic!

So good! Everything from the narration to the pacing was perfection. The story really draws you in. It feels made for millennials, with the explorations of employment, sense of self and trying to figure everything out. And the ending!!! Just wow. I have no complaints on this one.

So many unexpected twist and turns! Recommended!

So many twist and turns! Just when you think you know what’s happening, bam! Your wrong! New problems and situations arise hinting at a new conclusion…

Predictable

Did not like the main character at all. She became annoying to me. The story itself was predictable and I kind of guessed what was going to happen ahead of time. I only read it for book club and forced myself to finish it.
