My Sister the Serial Killer meets Sex in the City.
Kitty Collins, vegan, Instagram influencer, heiress to a meat processing empire, woman filled with rage, and serial killer. She references Dexter as she creates a set of rules for herself after her first two accidental (?) murders. The most important? She only kills men who deserve to die. Then she goes out for drinks and vegan food with her besties.
Now don't freak out. It's fiction, not a how-to manual. Kitty has it entirely too easy with her lack of forensic evidence. Surveillance cameras malfunctioning handily. Lack of witnesses. Except for one—Kitty has a stalker who seems to know her every move.
No one flinches when women get murdered by men in fiction, but I have a hunch some people could get worked up about this book. Because the author has turned the tables on us and on society. It's not just women who have to watch their step in Kitty's London, men better be careful too. Not something that the patriarchy is used to and it may cause a bit of a snit.
But if you can let go of your pop culture education in forensics from TV and true crime books, you too can enjoy Kitty and her one-woman vengeance crusade.
