Love in the Time of Serial Killers
by Alicia Thompson
If you're looking for a romance that's less 'meet cute' and more 'meet suspiciously,' Alicia Thompson's Love in the Time of Serial Killers is a delightful surprise. We follow Phoebe Walsh, a true crime dissertation-writing PhD candidate, who spends her summer convinced her charming, but slightly mysterious, new neighbor might be a murderer. Her overactive imagination and deep dive into forensic psychology mean every kind gesture from Sam is viewed through a lens of potential menace, leading to some truly laugh-out-loud misunderstandings. This book is a warm, quirky, and genuinely funny read that balances Phoebe's endearing neuroses with a slow-burn romance you can't help but root for. It's perfect for readers who love a protagonist with a unique worldview, a healthy dose of humor, and that satisfying 'enemies-to-lovers' dynamic where one party is just hilariously mistaken about the 'enemy' part.
