Dear Killer by Katherine Ewell

I read this book alongside The Stranger by Albert Camus (for a class), and it was interesting to compare the characters in certain aspects... Won't jump into that in case you haven't read both, but it was interesting!! Read full review below!!!


Dear Killer by Katherine Ewell

Rule One—Nothing is right, nothing is wrong.
Rule Two—Be careful.
Rule Three—Fight using your legs whenever possible, because they’re the strongest part of your body. Your arms are the weakest.
Rule Four—Hit to kill. The first blow should be the last, if at all possible.
Rule Five—The letters are the law.

Kit takes her role as London’s notorious “Perfect Killer” 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 “Dear Killer,” and every time Kit murders, she leaves a letter with the dead body. Her moral nihilism and thus her murders are a way of life—the only way of life she has ever known.

But when a letter appears in the mailbox that will have the power to topple Kit’s 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.

Katherine Ewell’s 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. 


Audience: 13+

Review:
Wow! That was intense! So many life lessons hidden in this glorious novel! I loved every aspect of this story, from the glimpses into her past to the letters and murders. It was all fascinating seeing how it would all play out, who she would get close to, and who would be the victims. It definitely has a great ending that wasn't cookie-cutter, and it left me wanting more! I never wanted to leave her head <3. If you're a fan of serial killers or in-depth question everything stories, you'll love this novel!!! Must read!
