Audiobook Description:
An aimless young woman starts writing to an accused serial killer while he awaits trial and then, once he’s acquitted, decides to move in with him and take the investigation into her own hands in this dark and irresistibly compelling debut thriller.
Recently ghosted and sick of watching her friends fade into the suburbs, thirty-something Hannah finds community in a true-crime forum that’s on a mission to solve the murders of four women in Atlanta. After William, a handsome lawyer, is arrested for the killings, Hannah begins writing him letters. It’s the perfect outlet for her pent-up frustration and rage. The exercise empowers her, and even feels healthy at first.
Until William writes back.
Hannah’s interest in the case goes from curiosity to obsession, leaving space for nothing else as her life implodes around her. After she loses her job, she heads to Georgia to attend the trial and befriends other true-crime junkies like herself. When a fifth woman is discovered, the jury has no choice but to find William not guilty, and Hannah is the first person he calls upon his release. The two of them quickly fall into a routine of domestic bliss.
Well, as blissful as one can feel while secretly investigating their partner for serial murder…
Jessica’s Review:
This was an intriguing one! It is a twisty and creepy novel with a very messed up main character. I did not like Hannah at all or agree with the decisions she made, but I found myself not being able to stop listening to this one. It was such a popcorn type thriller; a really bad car accident: You know you shouldn’t look, but can’t help it and do!
Love Letters was an addicting and ‘fun’ read. Hannah writes to William in jail as he awaits trial as a killer. He’s not just a killer but an accused serial killer of women! But Hannah keeps writing and getting caught up in the case and forming a ‘relationship’ with William without having even met him yet! She becomes so caught up in the case that she makes her way to Georgia to watch it and even becomes connected with William’s family.
I just wanted to see where it was going to go. Will Hannah become another victim? Is William a serial killer or not? You’ll have to read this one to find out.
The narrator Andi Arndt did a very good job with her portrayal or Hannah. The audiobook was a good one!
This is another book where I love the cover. Even though this cover is pretty and pink, the novel itself isn’t!
I will be looking to see what else Ms. Coryell writes!
