Michelle Chouinard: The Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco
I enjoy picking up a book where I don’t know what to expect, and it’s even better when the book I’ve selected doesn’t match my expectations — but in a good way. From the title, I supposed this book would be all shiny concept, heavy on clever plot, no emotional engagement, but probably funny. It does have a shiny concept, but the concept (as it should be), is just the kick off. Heroine Capri (like the car, the pants or the island) Sanzio, granddaughter of a serial killer, makes her living giving – you guessed it – serial killer tours of San Francisco. She’s been quite successful, and the patrons only infrequently ask questions about her grandfather, who was known as “Overkill Bill.”
