Bookseller recommendation
“Whiplash plot twists and near-poetry descriptions keep readers clutching their headphones during this brainy summer blockbuster. The narrator's repetitions and elaborations, which at first feel unreliable, turn out to be... no, I can't tell you. No spoilers. She's also hilarious, and dizzyingly honest about big themes like postpartum depression, commodified misogyny, and scandal in the age of branding. And meanwhile, there's the mystery, pitched at a breakneck pace, threatening the loving family the narrator would do anything to protect. Listen - there is only one reason this won't be the most talked-about novel of the summer. It's because you're not going to spoil it for anyone. Right? Right?? Good. But - as soon as you finish it, call me! ”

“My Murder, as the title suggests, is a novel told from the point of view of the victim of a serial killer - after her brutal murder. Made possible by "the Commission," an experimental organization which clones, then rebuilds the psyches and bodies of victims deemed worthy of a second chance, Lou is basically the same woman she was, aside from a touch of dissociation over her new-but-exactly-the-same body and life. Both a feminist tale of motherhood, freedom, and resurrection, and a speculative serial killer thriller refracted through a house of mirrors, Katie Williams toys with genres like a cat with a stuffed mouse, coming up with a razor-sharp novel that defies categorization. ”

“One of those rare emotionally intelligent books that are also fun reads… Going to keep readers turning pages late into the night.” –The New York Times
“Ingenious…fresh and unpredictable.” –The Washington Post
“Gleefully overturn[s] the age-old ‘woman-in-trouble’ plot…eerie and inventive.” –NPR's Fresh Air
What if the murder you had to solve was your own?
Lou is a happily married mother of an adorable toddler. She’s also the victim of a local serial killer. Recently brought back to life and returned to her grieving family by a government project, she is grateful for this second chance. But as the new Lou re-adapts to her old routines, and as she bonds with other female victims, she realizes that disturbing questions remain about what exactly preceded her death and how much she can really trust those around her.
Now it’s not enough to care for her child, love her husband, and work the job she’s always enjoyed—she must also figure out the circumstances of her death. Darkly comic, tautly paced, and full of surprises, My Murder is a devour-in-one-sitting, clever twist on the classic thriller.
