What would you do if you thought your coworker was getting away with murder—literally?
Dolores dela Cruz has been dying to spot one in the wild, and he fits the mold perfectly: strangler gloves, calculated charm, dashing good looks that give a leg up in any field . . . including fields of unmarked graves.
The new office temp is definitely a serial killer.
Jake Ripper finds a welcome distraction in his combative and enigmatic new coworker. He hasn’t come across anyone as interesting as Dolores in a long time. But when mere curiosity evolves into a darkly romantic flirtation, Jake can’t help but wonder if, finally, he’s found someone who really sees him, skeletons in the closet and all.
Until Dolores asks Jake’s help to dispose of a body . . .
A morbidly funny and emotionally resonant novel about the ways life—and love—can sneak up on us (no matter how much pepper spray we carry).

      DEBUT What happens when a person suspects their gorgeous new coworker is a murderer? Dolores dela Cruz is consistently on the lookout for serial killers, and she thinks Jake Ripper, the new temp at her office, might be one. Jake, on the other hand, finds Dolores refreshing and intriguing and thinks she's the only one who gets him. But when Dolores asks him to help dispose of a body, things get weird. Posey's debut is told from both characters' points of view as they enter a world of banter, creepy vibes, and of course, a dead body, then get caught up in an awkward love situation. The dual perspectives let readers see the inner workings of the characters and their relationship when fate pushes them together. Throughout the novel, there are fun references to classic horror, plus clever chapter titles. The story gets more complicated as it moves along, while the well-written banter between Dolores and Jake is enjoyable. VERDICT A humorously gruesome love story with a murder in the mix.--BreAnn Weeks

      You might think Posey's debut is a thriller about serial killers, and it is, but hiding beneath that exterior is an offbeat dark romance with some very unusual characters. Much of the action takes place in the off ice where Delores (Dodi) dela Cruz works. When she meets Jake Ripper in the elevator, Dodi is sure that she's finally met a serial killer. But is he? Or is she? Jake blends in wherever he goes and tries to watch people, and Dodi is a fascinating woman to watch. Now he's wondering: Could Dodi be the person pushing people off the roofs of New York office buildings? The two engage in a cunning cat-and-mouse game, which leads to a trip to Las Vegas where Jake and Dodi finally let down their guard and really get to know each other, skeletons in the closet and all. Posey's banter and character development is spectacular. She gives us vulnerable characters and the pacing of this twisted relationship is spot-on. Recommend to fans of podcast My Favorite Murder who also love a good romance.
