Hannah’s love life? Dying. Career? Dead. New pen pal? Deadly.
Hannah Wilson can’t text her ex again – it’s too sad. She can’t snap back at the new boss who took her promotion either – she’ll be fired. But what she can do is write a series of furious letters to William Thompson, arrested for the murders of multiple women he got close to.
You’re a monster, I hope you know that.
I want you to listen when I tell you that I’ll never be able to go on a date again without thinking of you. Every moment I will wonder whether he wants to love me or murder me.
Hannah’s shocked when William writes back, each response more surprising than the last. And as communication tips from curiosity to obsession, Hannah has to wonder if William might be innocent, and whether she even wants him to be…
Love Letters to a Serial Killer is a surprising, original and deeply entertaining debut about our fascination with monsters – part thriller, part romance, part satire. Perfect for fans of Promising Young Women, You and How to Kill Your Family.

Utterly brilliant. Hannah is so painfully relatable I didn't know whether to shake her or hug her, but what I could not do was take my eyes off her. I was glued to the very end and I am begging for a sequel!
Ooh, I do like a bit of dark humour and a less than perfect protagonist - and Tasha Coryell serves up both with great style... A pacy read with sparky one-liners and an irresistible set up... No spoilers here, but if you like your crime fiction delivered with whip-smart humour, you'll love this rollercoaster of a read.
Compulsive, twisted and darkly funny-you'll gobble this one up.
A deliciously dark tale that sucked me in from the off. It is a superbly refreshing read with a truly wonderful protagonist in Hannah who makes the most dreadful decisions at times and yet is so likeable, you can't help but root for her. I galloped through this book and can only say that readers are in for an absolute cracking read with an extremely satisfying conclusion. I for one, can't wait for more from this author. Soon. Please.
A delightfully dark and deranged romp through the mind of one of "those women" - you won't be able to look away from this high-stakes trainwreck of a relationship between Hannah and William, a match made in heaven for the true-crime obsessed.
I read this book in a single weekend and have been recommending it to people ever since. Fast-paced and thrilling, Love Letters to a Serial Killer is also a compelling character study of a woman who loves the man who might kill her. Coryell's fiercely witty, intoxicating prose hooked me on page one and never let go.
