![]() But this was an entertaining, witty, page-turner that is my definition of a feel-good read. As you might have gathered from this list, I'm not much of a beach read person. I don't know exactly why I abstained at the time, but I'm so glad I finally decided to read it. ![]() I remember when City Of Girls first came out back in 2019 and it felt like everyone and their mother was reading it. If you're a fan of Criminal Minds or Mindhunter or the like, don't miss this novel. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this one since I finished reading it. What I loved most about this book though is that it isn’t violent or gory as most "serial killer" stories are. Rather, it's a striking psychological deep dive into the mind of a killer that brings up interesting questions about us as a society. ![]() The chapters are made up of the hours leading up to his execution interspersed with others about the women in Ansel’s life - his mother, his wife, and her twin sister, and a female detective tasked with solving this whole case. WHY I LOVED IT: The whole book takes place in the 12 hours before the execution of Ansel Packer, a man accused of multiple female murders. My best advice: block a day off in your calendar before you pick it up because you will not be able to stop turning the pages until it's over. This is a top contender for my absolute favorite book of 2022. ![]()
