NATIONAL BESTSELLER 
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND GLAMOUR!
“One of those rare emotionally intelligent books that are also fun reads… Going to keep readers turning pages late into the night.” –The New York Times

“Ingenious…fresh and unpredictable.” –The Washington Post

“Gleefully overturn[s] the age-old ‘woman-in-trouble’ plot…eerie and inventive.” –NPR's Fresh Air
What if the murder you had to solve was your own?
Lou is a happily married mother of an adorable toddler. She’s also the victim of a local serial killer. Recently brought back to life and returned to her grieving family by a government project, she is grateful for this second chance. But as the new Lou re-adapts to her old routines, and as she bonds with other female victims, she realizes that disturbing questions remain about what exactly preceded her death and how much she can really trust those around her.
Now it’s not enough to care for her child, love her husband, and work the job she’s always enjoyed—she must also figure out the circumstances of her death. Darkly comic, tautly paced, and full of surprises, My Murder is a devour-in-one-sitting, clever twist on the classic thriller.

        April 17, 2023
        Williams (Tell the Machine Goodnight) delivers a clever speculative story of cloning and crime. Lou is told by a government-sponsored “replication commission” that she’s been cloned from a victim of serial killer Edward Early. With no memories of her earlier life as the doting mother and loving wife she believes herself to be, she attempts to pick up where the old Lou left off in her suburban Michigan home. Lou and replicants of Early’s other four victims meet in a support group, where they dish on the difficulties of their readjustments: they have no memory of their murders, and they distance themselves from their pre-murder personae as “my other me.” Lou, in particular, is puzzled by unexplained mysteries about her pre-clone life—turns out the old Lou’s marriage wasn’t so sunny after all—that are exacerbated after she visits Early in prison. Though she meets him in hopes he’ll explain why he picked her, his bombshell revelation is much more than what she bargained for, and it leads to a surprising denouement. Though the tone is darkly comic, Williams poses provocative questions about cloning and resurrection, and she pulls off an intelligent murder mystery to boot. This creep-fest is acerbic and disturbing in equal measure.

      • content: Narrator Rebecca Lowman's pace works well to start off this unique audio mystery. Listeners need her slow delivery to digest that Lou, a murder victim, has, in fact, been brought back to life and is now investigating the circumstances of her own death. Lowman is especially talented at bringing out the fun and the lyricism in the author's language. Sadly, Lowman's tendency to elongate even the shortest of words slows down the story just when its plot twists ramp up. Nonetheless, there's an easygoing authenticity to her performance that will make listeners root for Lou to uncover the truth about her death. J.T. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
