Dolores dela Cruz has been dying to spot one in the wild, and he fits the mold perfectly: strangler gloves, calculated charm, dashing good looks that give a leg up in any field… including fields of unmarked graves. The new office temp is definitely a serial killer.
Jake Ripper finds a welcome distraction in his combative and enigmatic new coworker. He hasn’t come across anyone as interesting as Dolores in a long time. But when mere curiosity evolves into a darkly romantic flirtation, Jake can’t help but wonder if, finally, he’s found someone who really sees him—skeletons in the closet and all. Until Dolores asks Jake’s help to dispose of a body…
I highly recommend — See my Spoiler-Free review: Serial Killer Games.
Love in the Time of Serial Killers meets The Hating Game in this stand-out genre-blend that’s equal parts morbidly funny and emotionally resonant. With the sensibilities of both modern suspense and romance, Kate Posey delivers a delightfully unhinged and unexpectedly heartfelt game of cat and mouse between two coworkers who may be lovers, but certainly aren’t friends.
Readers who enjoy dark humor and campy novels like Dial A for Aunties and charming, complex characters like those in Fleabag won’t want to miss this twisty romp that, like its characters, is not what it’s pretending to be and will keep readers guessing on every page.
In her satisfying, one-of-a-kind novel, Posey explores the ways life—and love—can sneak up on us (no matter how much pepper spray we carry).
Kate Posey is an up-and-coming voice in contemporary suspense and romance, known for her ability to balance tension and humor in delightfully twisted ways. Her background in film writing and a love for darkly funny characters has shaped her unique storytelling style.
