The Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco by Michelle Chouinard
5.0
The Serial Killers Guide to San Francisco was one of my most anticipated reads for the year and it didn't disappoint. The main character Capri is thrown in the middle of a murder investigation when her mother-in-law is murder and the method used is a copycat to the murders her grandfather supposedly committed in the 60s. Because of this Capri is forced to prove hers and her daughter Morgans innocence while also trying to prove that her Grandfather wasn't the original killer.
This book has so much going for it. I loved that Capri took her families history and made of career of giving serial killer tours in San Francisco. I liked the inclusion of little tidbits of San Francisco's murderous past they were really interesting.
II really loved Sylvia's character. When you first meet her she comes off as a bitter ex-mother-in-law but that was far from what was really going on. She was just a woman who wanted to protect her family even if that meant that she needed to push them away in order to save them
The one character I really disliked was Capri's dad. I don't know why or how her mother would have stayed with him given the way he acted and talked to Capri. He came off as kind of abusive. I don't think that was what the author was going for with his character but thats what the vibe ended up being.
To me A Serial Killers Guide to San Francisco was a story of what lengths we are will to go to for the people that we love. It was a solid read.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
