Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, and spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
This week’s pick is Dear Killer by Katherine Ewell.
From Goodreads:
Rule OneβNothing is right, nothing is wrong.
Rule TwoβBe careful.
Rule ThreeβFight using your legs whenever possible, because theyβre the strongest part of your body. Your arms are the weakest.
Rule FourβHit to kill. The first blow should be the last, if at all possible.
Rule FiveβThe letters are the law.Kit takes her role as Londonβs notorious βPerfect Killerβ seriously. The letters and cash that come to her via a secret mailbox are not a game; choosing who to kill is not an impulse decision. Every letter she receives begins with βDear Killer,β and every time Kit murders, she leaves a letter with the dead body. Her moral nihilism and thus her murders are a way of lifeβthe only way of life she has ever known.
But when a letter appears in the mailbox that will have the power to topple Kitβs convictions as perfectly as she commits her murders, she must make a decision: follow the only rules she has ever known, or challenge Rule One, and go from there.
Katherineβs Ewellβs Dear Killer is a sinister psychological thriller that explores the thin line between good and evil, and the messiness of that inevitable moment when life contradicts everything you believe.
Well. This sounds intriguing, doesn’t it! I love thrillers, and I love the premise. This is one of those books that will have me counting down the days until I can get my hands on a copy!
What are you waiting on this week?
