It’d be one thing if the reasons behind these requests were things like “this man killed my family” or “this woman pushed my son into traffic on his tricycle,” but nearly half the book is Kit killing people over messages that read “Tony won’t date me because I’m not pretty enough.” Who cares that you didn’t kill the person with your bare hands, you hired an assassin and the person is dead, because of your lousy letter you put in a drop box. Now that aside, what’s the point of having someone killed if you’re going to be incriminated, which is exactly what happens in Dear Killer. Could you imagine if this was a real life concept – yeah so could I and I don’t buy it. Kit goes through them and selects who to kill. People write her letters with their murder requests and place them in a special drop box.
The first weird concept of the book is that being a serial killer is something of a family tradition, the second, she decides who to kill based on letters. Katherine Ewell’s Dear Killer is a sinister psychological thriller that explores the thin line between good and evil, and the messiness of that inevitable moment when life contradicts everything you believe.The main character of Dear Killer is the most famous London serial killer since Jack the Ripper. Her moral nihilism and thus her murders are a way of life-the only way of life she has ever known.īut when a letter appears in the mailbox that will have the power to topple Kit’s convictions as perfectly as she commits her murders, she must make a decision: follow the only rules she has ever known, or challenge Rule One, and go from there. Every letter she receives begins with “Dear Killer,” and every time Kit murders, she leaves a letter with the dead body. The letters and cash that come to her via a secret mailbox are not a game choosing who to kill is not an impulse decision. Kit takes her role as London’s notorious “Perfect Killer” seriously. The first blow should be the last, if at all possible. Rule Three-Fight using your legs whenever possible, because they’re the strongest part of your body.
Rule One-Nothing is right, nothing is wrong.
