her many faces by nicci cloke

Killer Kate is on trial for murdering 4 upper class elite men. She is a waitress at an exclusive club and was the last one in there before they all died. This book is written in second person and from multiple points of view. So, one POV from her dad, to whom she is Kit Kat, one POV from her lawyer, to whom she is Katherine. Other POV including two love interests and a journalist after the truth.

I really enjoyed the unique take on a narrative, how the people in our lives all know a different version of who we are. It was unique to read in the second person and to see how different she was portrayed.

It got both confusing and dragged a bit in the middle. I’m not even sure I completely understand the ending. Maybe 1 or 2 fewer POV would have worked.

Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for the ARC. Book to be published July 14, 2025.
