“A narrator always gets to know the reader before spilling their deepest secret.

I am a murderer.

She was just a silly nothing of a girl until I made her rise to fame. A pennything.

So, reader: sit down, cozy up. I’d offer a cup of tea, but you may worry it’s poisoned, and you may be correct.

But I can’t just tell you how she died. That’s too easy. Too quick. Buckle up: you’re in for a villainous monologue.”

“Oh no. I love this murderer. So cheeky & clever. AH! Inner turmoil…”

Charming deviation from a classic mystery. Satisfy your curiosity for the macabre, mystery, and witty villain banter with this book. The fourth-wall-breaking smarminess interlaced with a quirky tale of murder makes it a highly enjoyable read.

Be prepared to guess, then guess again from a charming deviation from a classic mystery. I highly enjoyed this narrator-led twisted maze of a story and recommended to anyone who enjoys a bit of intrigue, humor, and purposeful mayhem.
