NO SHELF CONTROL

Title: The Serial Killer Support Group

Author: D.B. Stephens

Publisher: Harper Collins 

Publication Date: May, 2025

Genre: Thriller

My Rating: ★★★★☆

Serial Killer Support Group is a dark thriller. Jess and her friends all have chilling tales of domestic abuse, but fortunately for the women, “The Caretaker” is out there protecting them. Killing the men who have evaded justice, and exacting revenge of his own.

“The past always catches up with you, one way or another”

This was a really emotive book. It made me angry, sad and everything in between. The short and engaging chapters kept me turning the pages and I felt sympathy for the women in the group. It’s unusual to be on the side of the killer, and I did enjoy that spin.
As the mother of an autistic child, I felt Lottie was a nice bonus character, and the way she was depicted was accurate and well done.

I thought the way we found out who the caretaker was was a bit meh though. I felt that could’ve been a little better done and the book felt longer than I needed to be.

Apart from that, a good 4* read.

“It had been years since he had rested so well, and it told him that what he had done, the suffering he had caused, was justified. He slept like a baby because a bad man has finally faced justice for his crimes… Soon they would know this wasn’t an isolated murder. More would be killed before he was done”

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins for my advanced copy.
