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.

Praise for this book

Praise for My Murder

"When did I last read a thriller this cool, this confident? This clever? A novel so hard-charging yet light on its feet? But best and most of all, this book is F-U-N. Once you've turned the final page, after you've read that amazingly poignant final line, you can marvel at the invention and brio of My Murder; in the heady moment, though, you'll be enjoying yourself far too much." - A. J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window

"Confident, hypnotic and original, My Murder unfolds rhythmically in the arresting voice of Lou, a woman trying to find her new place in her old life. Katie Williams brilliantly executes a smart, speculative twist on domestic suspense, and it makes for a completely absorbing ride." - Ashley Audrain, New York Times-bestselling author of The Push
