My Murder - Katie Williams

Speculative Crime

Rating: 8.5/10

What if the murder you had to solve was your own?

Lou is a happily married mother of a cutie pie baby girl. She is also the victim of a serial killer.

Recently resurrected by a secret cloning project, she is struggling to reconnect with those that once loved her.

Therapists tell her she both is and isn’t the woman she believed herself to be. That woman had died. And she had been grown from a sampling of her cells. She merely a copy. But what if she feels like her? The other one? The one from before? After all, all she knows are the stories people tell her about herself.

As she struggles to adjust to her new/old life, she joins a group of other cloned victims of a serial killer. The same serial killer in fact. When she realizes some of the signatures of the murders don’t line up, she embarks on a fact-finding mission she may come to regret.

I inhaled this speculative and smart twist on the crime novel, one with an ending I never in my wildest dreams, even the darker ones, could have imagined.
