The Death of Us is a captivating, slow burn story of love and loss. Edward and Isabel's marriage and lives are overturned after a traumatic encounter with a serial killer. Years later they meet again at the sentencing of their tormentor with very different goals in mind. Told from each of their perspectives, this is an unflinching look at the their love story and the eventual unraveling of their partnership. The narrative does start a tad slowly but soon draws you into the unfurling timeline and grips you. If you enjoy victim-centered true crime or heartwrenching love stories with complicated characters, The Death of Us is may be a good fit for you. Please read cautiously as this is a dark story with many potential trigger warnings. 

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the ARC.
