 You’d Look Better as a Ghost by Joanna Wallace is a twisted, dark, and funny story about a female serial killer who sets herself up for a series of wild events because of the victim she chooses to kill while mourning her father’s recent death. Throughout the book, you aren’t sure if she is going to be caught, if she is going to kill again, or if she is going to become “normal.” And she isn’t, either! Claire is not a person I would want to meet even on a sunny day in a public location, but I was entertained as a spectator to what unfolded in her life. Warning: there is discussion of elder abuse and dementia, along with all the obvious warnings associated with being inside the head of a serial killer.
