Ansel Packer is scheduled to die in twelve hours. But this is not his story.

Ansel doesn't want to die; he wants to be celebrated, understood. Yet now he awaits the same fate he forced on those girls, years ago.

This is the story of the women who survive.

As the clock ticks down, three women - a mother, a sister, a detective - reckon with the choices that culminate in tragedy, the impact on those in its wake, and the possibility of redemption.

Industry Reviews

The stories of these richly drawn characters are layered like nesting dolls, each one revealing more about how we love and how we survive. Kukafka's prose, alive and poetic, is unforgettable. I relished every page of this brilliant and gripping masterpiece - Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author of The Push

A searing portrait of the complicated women caught in the orbit of a serial killer. Compassionate and thought-provoking. - Brit Bennett, bestselling author of The Vanishing Half

Exploring the effects of violence by men and the worlds that are ruined, this is a breakout book for 2022 - Stylist, Books you can t miss in 2022

This novel is defiantly populated with living women; it ruminates on trauma, the criminal justice system and guilt . . . In particular, the relationships between women - sisters, friends, colleagues - are beautifully drawn, dense with detail and specificity . . . Notes on an Execution is nuanced, ambitious and compelling - Katie Kitamura, New York Times

Spellbinding and beautifully written. An irresistible, unbearably tense thriller, a poignant, deeply compassionate tale of resilience, and a vital intervention in the way we talk about violent crime, its endless reverberations and foremost its survivors. - Megan Abbott, author of Dare Me

Bruising, chilling, powerful and brilliant. Notes on an Execution is that rare book that transcends genre, moving from a deft thriller to an examination of fractured lives and the ripples of violent crime. - Chris Whitaker, author of We Begin at the End
