2.0

I thought the premise of the story was really interesting. The story follows Lou as she is dealing with being murdered by a local serial killer and is brought back to life through a government project. I think I would’ve liked the book better if it was promoted differently since it’s not actually a mystery/thriller. The main topics were exploration of identity, the challenges and relationship dynamics of motherhood, and slight discussion of fascination with serial killers. I struggled staying engaged with the writing and execution of the plot. I also didn’t like the ending and was a bit confused by it.

MY 100TH BOOK OF THE YEAR 🥳

My Murder by Katie Williams

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5)

Genre: Mystery

About 290 pages

Lou was murdered and now she’s alive again. How? She was chosen to be cloned and brought back. Now Lou spends her days trying to understand her murder. Some things just don’t add up and Lou can’t help but wonder who and what she can really trust. As it turns out, her suspicions are right and not everything is as it seems….

Conceptually, this was a fun premise and I did like it… Williams’ writing style made it easy to fly through this book. However, it just didn’t hit the way I thought it would? At times, I was a bit confused about what was going on, and the ending didn’t feel properly fleshed out. The sci-fi element definitely added to my confusion and mixed feelings on this one.

Favorite Quote: “Maybe it’s best for us just to say, I had my reasons. Even if I don’t know what they are, they must exist, because I did what I did.”

A pretty quick, easy read - perfect beach read for me. As you can guess by the name of the book, it has some dark themes but approaches them in a hopeful way. Good mystery elements, and a dash of futuristic sci-fi that questions whether we should use certain technology just because we can. Like all good mysteries, there is a twist at the end!
