Meet your new best friend (who also just happens to be a serial killer)

For readers of Finlay Donovan is Killing It and The Bandit Queens comes a bright and biting thriller following Cordelia Black, a best friend, a businesswoman, and, in her spare time, a killer of bad men.

Ask Cordelia Black why she did it. The answer will always be- He had it coming.

Cordelia Black loves exactly three things- Her chosen family, her hairdresser (worth every penny plus tip), and killing bad men.

By day she's an ambitious pharma rep with a flawless reputation and designer wardrobe. By night, she culls South Louisiana of unscrupulous men-monsters who think they've evaded justice, until they meet her. Sure, the evening news may have started throwing around phrases like "serial killer," but Cordelia knows that's absurd. She's not a killer, she is simply karma. And being karma requires complete and utter control.

But when Cordelia discovers a flaw in her perfectly designed system for eliminating monsters, pressure heightens. And it only intensifies when her best friend starts dating a man Cordelia isn't sure is a good person. Someone who might just unravel everything she has worked for.

Soon enough Cordelia has to come face to face with the choices she's made. The good, the bad, and the murderous. Both her family, and her freedom, depend on it.

Goodreads Readers' Most Anticipated Mystery Thrillers Fall 2024

"Wells mines plenty of laughs and thrills from Cordelia's attempts to claw her way to safety, with the darkness of the premise nicely balanced by the novel's fizzy first-person narration. Anyone who's ever wondered what kind of trouble a female Dexter Morgan would get up to is in luck." -- Publishers Weekly

"Emma C. Wells has a hit on her hands with this debut! This Girl's a Killer is a darkly delicious ride. Expertly dancing on the thin line between villain and anti-hero, Cordelia Black (what a perfect name!) is a woman with a killer style. She's on a mission that will have you questioning your ethics as you root for her ruthless brand of justice. With a sweet, found family, heart-pounding moments of suspense, and an ending you'll never see coming, This Girl's a Killer will stick with you for a long, long time." -- Xio Axelrod, USA Today bestselling author of Girls with Bad Reputations
