One of Cosmopolitan's Best Romance Novels Ever
Turns out that reading nothing but true crime isn't exactly conducive to
modern dating--and one woman is going to have to learn how to give love
a chance when she's used to suspecting the worst.
PhD candidate Phoebe Walsh has always been obsessed with true crime.
She's even analyzing the genre in her dissertation--if she can manage to
finish writing it. It's hard to find the time while she spends the
summer in Florida, cleaning out her childhood home, dealing with her
obnoxiously good-natured younger brother, and grappling with the
complicated feelings of mourning a father she hadn't had a relationship
with for years.
It doesn't help that she's low-key convinced that her new neighbor, Sam
Dennings, is a serial killer (he may dress business casual by day, but
at night he's clearly up to something). It's not long before Phoebe
realizes that Sam might be something much scarier--a genuinely nice guy
who can pierce her armor to reach her vulnerable heart.
