A lighthearted read, we follow a 30-something master student who has an unhealthy obsession with true crime. So much so, that she's even completing her dissertation on it, makes serial killer references, and is convinced her neighbour may be one of them.
It's a cute, easy read that might give you some true crime recommendations. However, the author makes a fictional serial killer story for the purpose of the plot which was a bit disappointing, but it is easy to find the true crime where she got the inspiration.
Our MC needs therapy but shows a lot of character growth towards the end which we love to see! I read this while I was sick and it kept me distracted and was easy to read. Some fluff, a sprinkle of spice, and a grumpy x sunshine trope from the perspective of the grumpy type.
