Serial Killer Support Group

A Novel

By: Saratoga Schaefer

Narrated by: Abby Craden, Timothy Andrés Pabon

After her sister is murdered, a woman infiltrates a support group for serial killers in this biting queer feminist debut thriller, perfect for fans of The Final Girl Support Group and My Sister, the Serial Killer.

When Cyra Griffin’s younger sister is murdered by a serial killer, Cyra knows better than to expect justice from the hands of the police department. With the investigation already dying its own slow death, Cyra follows the blood trail and finds her own way forward.

Using insider information (don’t ask), Cyra infiltrates a support group for serial killers by pretending to be one herself in the hopes of finding the person who ended her sister’s life. Proving herself to them comes at a cost, but it’s one Cyra is willing to pay in the name of revenge.

But the dangerous men in the group aren’t the only obstacle in Cyra’s path for vengeance, and the further Cyra descends into the deadly world of serial killers, the harder it becomes to hold on to her own humanity.

This dark, witty debut novel is a cunning homage to women’s wrongs that will have you wondering exactly how many monsters walk unseen among us.

Maxium creepiness for the whole family*

(*Not for the whole family, please don't do that to your loved ones.)

I liked this title a lot. It reminded me very much of My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite. I enjoyed the main narrator, not so much the additional narrator for the serial killer interstitials.

Original and really good!

You know, in this day and age, I wouldn't be surprised if a group like the one in this book was real. I certainly hope not, though.

Anyhoo, the book's title dug its nails into my intrigue, and I'm glad to have given in. The serial killer support group in this book read like a real support group. You could easily imagine being a fly on the wall as each session took place, and there were back stories for some of the group's serial killers as well.

Cyra, on a mission to avenge her murdered sister, goes into the belly of the beast as she infiltrates a serial killer support group to see which one, if any, of the serial killers murdered her sister, Myra. She's nothing like the men in this group, at least, that's what she tells herself. Cyra must be careful, though, because if she's found out, avenging her sister will be the least of her worries.

Captivating

I really loved how the characters kept my attention and I was intrigued to find out what happens next. This was a unique story and I loved that it was different from anything I’ve read. Great writing and great storytelling. Loved it!!
