Capri makes a living giving guided serial killer tours of San Francisco. Ever since she found out her grandfather was a convicted serial killer, she’s been fascinated in the topic and the chance to maybe one day prove his innocence. When a copycat killer suddenly pops up in town, Capri dives back into all of those unanswered questions to figure out who was murdering in the past and also the present.

THE SERIAL KILLER GUIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO by Michelle Chouinard pulled me in from the jump when we joined Capri on one of her infamous serial killer tours and found out her origin story - so so fascinating and I couldn’t wait to keep on reading!

The story did devolve a bit for me as the copycat killer emerged and we seemed to lose focus on both the tours and the Overkill Bill case - they became background players to a mystery that I found far less interesting.

This was overall and intriguing mystery, but based on the other elements within this story, I felt that it had the chance to be so much more!

A good debut from Chouinard, regardless.

Thanks to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, and Minotaur Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!
