Utterly original and wildly entertaining, Killing Me is a laugh-loud-loud thriller with a protagonist whose life is a total mess.

She escaped a serial killer. Then things got weird.

Amber Jamison can’t believe she’s about to become the latest victim of a serial killer. She’s savvy and street smart, so when she gets pushed into, of all things, a white windowless van, she is more angry than afraid. Things get even weirder when she’s miraculously saved by a mysterious woman . . . who promptly disappears. Who was she? And why is she hunting serial killers?

You’d think escaping one psychopath would be enough, but Amber’s problems are just beginning. Her close call has law enforcement circling a past she’s tried to outrun. She’s forced to flee across the country, ending up at a seedy motel in Las Vegas with a noir-obsessed manager and a sex worker as her unlikely companions . . . and danger right behind. She’s landed in the cross hairs of the world’s most prolific killer, caught up in a deadly game that’s been going on for years. To survive, she is forced to dust off her old playbook and partner with someone she can’t trust. The odds are against her, but sometimes you just have to roll the dice.

Reseñas de la Crítica

One of BookBub’s Best Mysteries & Thrillers of Spring

One of CrimeReads' Most Ancipated Thrillers of 2023

"Gagnon’s neo-noir thriller hits all the right notes, providing an entertaining, escapist ride."—The Washington Post

"This twisty game of cat and mouse is as addictive as the Vegas Strip."—Elle Cosimano, author of Finlay Donovan Is Killing It

“For a little levity, Michelle Gagnon’s suspenseful dark comedy has big Stephanie Plum vibes. . . With their chase taking us to Las Vegas, and picking up various kooky supporting characters on the way, this thriller sounds firmly tongue-in-cheek.”—Paste Magazinee

Bright narration

The narrator was great. Kidnapping and killing can be difficult to listen to but this narrator added a brightness to the reading that made this easier to listen to.

Pretty good

I enjoyed the story and characters, but felt it was a bit slow at times…

It was ok

Started out full throttle. I hate when a book takes forever to get going. Very far fetched. Not very deep, good “girl power” book.

Sarcastic and Funny...

The synopsis of this had me clamoring to pick it up, and this book didn't disappoint. It's a sarcastic, dark comedy and a wild ride from start to finish. This book is in no way believable and requires quite a lot of suspension of disbelief. Amber is a likable character who is easy to root for and the other characters are great to read about as well. Dot is a personal favorite of mine.

Overall, this was so fun, and I had a blast with it. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone just looking for a fun, serial killer dark comedy.

Fantastic performance!

Absolutely loved the narrator! She did such a good job of changing the attitudes voices of each character. Loved the story so much more bc of her.

What Great Characters!

This book is so much fun! The characters are starkly unique from any other thriller I've read, which was exciting, and I couldn't wait to see what each of them would do next. It was a great introduction to Michelle Gagnon's work for me, and I look forward to reading many more of her books!

Love this

What are delightful story. It had enough twists and turns in it to keep your attention, and was just outright fun.

Entertaining

It was a fun listen. A nice distraction. Gets and keeps your attention with the characters and story. Nice comedic thread through out.

Juvenile Writing Cadence

This book made me feel like the audience was meant to be junior high girls….. except for the fact that it talked about prostitution and murder. Weird mix. Not for me. Couldn’t keep my interest.

Very enjoyable!

I really enjoyed this book and I hope it is a series. The book was funny and different.
