My Murder by Katie Williams
Welcome to the Introvert Book Club! Our September pick (our very first!) is My Murder by Katie Williams.
What is the Introvert Book Club? It's a low-key, no meetings, no commitments, read-at-your-own-pace "book club." We pick out a Book of the Month for you to enjoy and know you're reading along with like-minded readers. Pick some pals and read together, or read on your own. But because it's a "book club" we'll have an end-of-month survey for you to review the book and then I'll share the results so you can see how you compared to your fellow readers! Fun!
Not local? We can ship your book, too! Order it on its own and it will ship to you via media mail.

Why I picked this book: Murder Mystery with a touch of speculative science fiction. I binged this book in two days. Plus, Katie Williams is a local author!
My Murder by Katie Williams
Hardcover, Pub June 06, 2023
Lou is a happily married mother of an adorable toddler. She's also the victim of a local serial killer. Recently brought back to life and returned to her grieving family by a government project, she is grateful for this second chance. But as the new Lou re-adapts to her old routines, and as she bonds with other female victims, she realizes that disturbing questions remain about what exactly preceded her death and how much she can really trust those around her. Now it's not enough to care for her child, love her husband, and work the job she's always enjoyed--she must also figure out the circumstances of her death. Darkly comic, tautly paced, and full of surprises.
Katie Williams is the author of the novel Tell the Machine Goodnight, which was a finalist for the Kirkus Prize, and young adult novels , The Space Between Trees and Absent. Her short fiction has appeared in The Atlantic, American Short Fiction, Prairie Schooner and elsewhere.
