pickThis was a creepy little book that I read bc it worked for a reading challenge prompt but ended up liking. I didn‘t exactly root for the main character, but I was interested in what she would do next. She thinks she has her reasons. There are flashbacks to her childhood that sort of explain why she‘s like she is, also.

I picked up another dark comedy. This one is about a British female serial killer who is going through a difficult time after the death of her father. Some of her antics include her sitting through a grief therapy group, while a body festers in her home. I am excited to see where this is going and there hasn't been one British dark comedy that I haven't enjoyed. So pleased to have found another author to add to my roster of TBRs.
panI really thought I was going to like this book but unfortunately it just fell flat for me. None of the characters were likable, which I don't like in books personally. I just felt like the book lacked substance. It's just super surface level. I just wanted more out of the book, and the ending just was too much fanfair for me, unfortunately.

Joanna Wallace's novel follows Claire, still grieving the loss of her father. While at her father's funeral she receives an email that irritates her, to put it lightly. Claire is a serial killer who until now has always done well in covering her tracks but is starting to get messy & leave a trail due to her grief. With her snarky personality & a strong beginning I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of this book, but somewhere around the (CONT)
pickThis is a quirky serial killer thriller. I never thought I‘d write that sentence. It is a fast paced read with some solid twists, as well as being funny. However, the story has a few plot holes. If you can suspend your disbelief it is an entertaining read. 4âï¸
pickThis book is a gem. I don't know what it is about books where the MC is a serial killer, but I love it. I'd say Claire is my favorite to date. Her inner thoughts of annoyance over trivial things cracked me up. I lost count of the number of times I laughed while reading this late into the night.
panClaire has been a vigilante serial killer for most of her life. After her father's (natural!) death she joins a grief support group, but not all the members of the group are grieving, nor are they what they seem to be.
This is a layered story and it was interesting to find out how it was all connected and came together in the end, but I found the repetitive writing from Claire's POV rather boring⬇ï¸
