too old for this by samantha downing

You guys, my blood pressure is so high after reading this book. This is a crazy story about a 74-year-old lady who is a serial killer. She got away with a bunch of murders back in the 80s, but then she changed her name After being found innocent and relocated. That’s where the story picks up.

Can I just tell you how anxious I was the entire time I was reading this book, I hate to admit this, but I had to go and read the last five chapters after chapter 50. I was so nervous I had to know what happened at the end and then went back and read the last fourth of the book.

If you like Freida McFadden, you will probably love this book. At no point are we wondering who the murderer is, I assure you that is not a spoiler. The body count is relatively high I would say, and while it isn’t extremely violent, it is violent in a more theoretical way. This is “is she going to get caught” anxiety.

This is like if Dexter was a little old lady.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for an ARC of this book. Book to be published August 12, 2025.
