As more threatening packages arrive and her fianc mysteriously disappears, she must confront a terrifying question: did she inadvertently match herself with a killer?

'OMG!!!!! This book was amazing - if I could give it ten stars I would! I was hooked from the beginning, and it wasn't what I expected at all!!! I fell in love with Hannah, I thought her character was brilliant, the story had so many twists, and even though I thought I had predicted the end I didn't!!!

Reader Review, Hannah would do anything to distract herself from her financial instability, dwindling job prospects and failing love life. Even marry a serial killer. When Hannah Wilson first hears about the dead women in the news, her interest in the murder case is healthy. Enough. Like the other women trawling the true crime forums, she's convinced that she could be the one to put the pieces of the puzzle together online. Solve the murders. Somehow. Maybe solving the case would make her feel okay about getting fired. Maybe it would make her sort-of-boyfriend love her. Maybe. And then handsome lawyer William Thompson is arrested. And Hannah is so full of female rage about everything he's done and everything she's going through, that she decides to write him a series of angry letters. She just doesn't count on him writing back... Her new pen pal feels like an exciting adventure at first. But when William is released, when she finds herself engaged to him and living in his home, she must wonder if her obsession has gone too far. Because how blissfully happy can you really be if you're worried you might be your fiance's next victim? And what if William's innocent - just an ordinary man who loves her? Will she still want him if he is?
