Made me sick to my stomach but I’m not sure if that was from the dread or the relief. Reading this during the week of Gisele Pelicot’s story getting media attention (& everything else that has happened to women this week - Rebecca Cheptegei, Dr. Moumita Debnath, etc etc) made it especially challenging. 

This is a thriller written by a woman, for women. Katie Williams captures the fear & hyper-vigilance around motherhood, femicide, & misogyny, & the parasocial & invasive nature of true crime coverage & delivers descriptions & one-liners that make me feel seen & scared in the same breath. 

I’m left with questions - not about the book but about myself & the world around me - at the end of My Murder.

Well I definitely did NOT see the ending coming. This book was outside my comfort zone (speculative fiction is not my jam), but I really enjoyed it. I thought it was a really clever exploration of PPMD and the idea of postpartum psychosis. What if a psychotic break could be manifest?

A refreshing take on the murder mystery, with enough worldbuilding that the twists and turns don't feel out of place.
