Love in the Time of Serial Killers
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
Turns out that reading nothing but true crime isn't exactly conducive to modern dating—and one woman is going to have to learn how to give love a chance when she's used to suspecting the worst.
PhD candidate Phoebe Walsh has always been obsessed with true crime. She's even analyzing 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 neighbor, Sam Dennings, is a serial killer (he may dress business casual by day, but at night he's clearly up to something). It's not long before Phoebe realizes that Sam might be something much scarier—a genuinely nice guy who can pierce her armor to reach her vulnerable heart.

June 6, 2022
Thompson debuts with a lighthearted but shoddily constructed ode to true crime aficionados. Phoebe Walsh first meets her Sam Dennings while moving back into her childhood home in the middle of the night. Sam’s neighborly offer to help raises a red flag for Phoebe, as her lifelong love of true crime has taught her to associate this kind of unsolicited kindness with serial killers. Living alone in her late father’s house while writing her dissertation on the genre has her understandably on edge, and as Sam continues to exhibit “suspicious” behavior, she sets out to investigate. This fun premise drops off fairly quickly as Phoebe’s motive for putting herself in Sam’s path morphs from wary curiosity to attraction. Between fixing up her father’s home and helping her brother plan a proposal, the pair spend a lot of time together, forcing them to confront their feelings. There’s a lot jammed in here, as, in addition to falling in love, Phoebe grieves her father, bonds with her brother, and reconnects with old friends. The result feels slightly too crowded to hit all the emotional notes it aims for. Still, readers who love true crime and romance in equal measure will find plenty to enjoy. Agent: Laura Bradford, Bradford Literary.
