Love Letters to a Serial Killer

When William Thompson, a handsome lawyer in Georgia, is accused of being a serial killer, Hannah goes from casual true crime consumer to obsessed. Avoiding her failing professional and personal life, she finds a sense of belonging in the true crime community. As her infatuation grows, Hannah begins writing letters to William, letters that he actually replies to. Believing they have a deep connection, Hannah leaves her life behind and travels to William’s trial as a macabre groupie, mingling with the victims’ families and friends. When he is acquitted, though, she’s unable to stop searching for evidence of his guilt, and Hannah must decide if she was attracted to the man or just aroused by the possibility that he was a murderer. Coryell makes a delightfully disturbing debut with this grimly humorous psychological suspense. Narrator Andi Arndt gives an expressive performance of Hannah’s deeply flawed first-person perspective. The combination of comedy and cliffhangers yields a compelling experience that will keep listeners rapt.
