'Dear Killer' by Katherine Ewell is a gripping thriller that follows the story of Kit, a 17-year-old assassin who receives secret letters instructing her on who to kill. Raised by her mother, a former serial killer, Kit struggles with her moral compass as she navigates her way through the world of murder and deception. The book delves deep into Kit's psyche, exploring her inner turmoil and the consequences of her actions, all while maintaining a fast-paced and engaging narrative style that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.
The novel offers a unique perspective by presenting a protagonist who is a murderer, rather than the typical hero trying to stop crimes. The plot is filled with twists and turns, as Kit grapples with her identity, relationships, and the dark secrets of her past. Ewell's writing is both thought-provoking and chilling, painting a complex portrait of a young killer struggling to find her place in a world devoid of right and wrong.

From The Publisher:
Full of "can't look away" moments, Dear Killer is a psychological thriller perfect for fans of gritty realistic fiction such as Dan Wells's I Am Not a Serial Killer and Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why, as well as television's Dexter.
Rule One-Nothing is right, nothing is wrong. Kit looks like your average seventeen-year-old high school student, but she has a secret-she's London's notorious "Perfect Killer." She chooses who to murder based on letters left in a secret mailbox, and she's good-no, perfect-at what she does.
Her moral nihilism-the fact that she doesn't believe in right and wrong-makes being a serial killer a whole lot easier . . . until she breaks her own rules by befriending someone she's supposed to murder, as well as the detective in charge of the Perfect Killer case.
As New York Times bestselling author of the Gone series Michael Grant says, Dear Killer is "shocking, mesmerizing, and very smart."
