The Novel Killings

True crime podcaster and self-published author, Ana Adams, struggles to reach the success her co-host sister Bex believes they're both capable of, finding herself stuck in a comfortable (if dreary) loop of isolation, social media, medication, and instability. But when an email arrives detailing a grisly murder that follows the plotline of Ana's first book, she's thrust into the spotlight. Sudden fame, overnight bestsellers, and a national profile are every author's dream but that soon turns to nightmare when the killer strikes again. And again. While Bex and Ana race to catch the murderer, they must navigate their newfound celebrity, unwanted attention from obsessed fans, and the suspicions of the FBI.

With the bodies and the scrutiny starting to pile up, Ana knows she must plot another story to catch the killer and clear her name. Instead, she discovers unexpected connections, buried secrets, and the reality that true crime attracts true criminals.
