Love in the Time of Serial Killers




The TikTok bestseller! A true crime obsessive suspects that her new neighbour might be a serial killer, or something worse... a potential love interest.

PhD candidate Phoebe Walsh has always been obsessed with true crime. She's even analysing the genre in her dissertation - if she can manage to finish writing it. It's hard to find the time while she spends the summer in Florida, cleaning out her childhood home, dealing with her obnoxiously good-natured younger brother, and grappling with the complicated feelings of mourning a father she hadn't had a relationship with for years.

It doesn't help that she's low-key convinced that her new neighbour, Sam Dennings, is a serial killer (he may dress business casual by day, but at night he's clearly up to something). But it's not long before Phoebe realises that Sam might be something much scarier - a genuinely nice guy who can pierce her armour to reach her vulnerable heart.

About the author

Alicia Thompson

Alicia Thompson writes romances filled with tenderness and yearning and at least one easter egg that means a lot to her and nothing to anyone else. She is the USA Today bestselling author of books like Love in the Time of Serial Killers and With Love, from Cold World, among others. Once, she got on the Jumbotron at a baseball game as a “lookalike” for Tina Belcher. She lives in Central Florida with her husband, two kids, and two cats who are probably watching for lizards out the window.
