The Serial Killer guide to San Francisco by Michelle Chouinard and here are my thoughts.
Capri makes her living giving serial killer tours around her city, being the granddaughter of Overkill Bill, she has a vested interest... Especially as she is sure he was innocent. When a copycat starts killing the way Overkill used to and his latest victim is her ex mother in law.... The police are looking directly at her and her daughter...
Light, easy, entertaining read for a mystery book. I love quirky and unique reads and this one had a ton of both!
I also now need to know if serial killer tours are a real thing.. Anyone???
I felt the writing was a tad simple in spots but as a debut novel.... ZINGGG It was a well executed book. I like Capri, she was the salt of the earth, a solid kind of person with an eccentric personality. Love people like that!
I liked the mystery and how clever it was weaved into the family drama!! MIL drama is the WORST!!! The MIL ending up dead... What a nightmare haha!
The ending was great and I actually really enjoyed this one.
4 stars! Excellent debut, looking forward to seeing more from this author.
Thank you @netgalley and @minotaurbooks for my gifted copy.
A fun and engaging murder mystery that kept me turning the pages.
Capri's grandfather is the notorious Overkill Bill, but for as long as she's known about her grandfather's crimes, she has been convinced that he was innocent. Years after his death, a woman is brutally murdered using Overkill Bill's M.O. And then another, this time, Capri's monster-in-law. With the focus of the murders on her and her daughter, Capri knows it's up to her to find the killer and clear her grandfather's name.
As I said, this is a fun read. While the murders are dark, Capri is a ray of light and makes the story quite engaging. The cast of supporting characters kept the story fresh, and of course, the city of San Francisco is its own character here. Really recommend this to anyone who loves a good murder mystery that, while its subject matter is dark, manages to keep the whole thing light and refreshing.
