The Killer You Know by S.R. Masters
This debut novel has a contemporary feel with an interesting mix of nostalgia and thriller. It follows a group of friends who are torn apart at age sixteen by a number of strange events. Told with a dual time frame, the book has one of the most intriguing opening lines I’ve ever read: “All of this started the night Will told us he was going to be a serial killer.”
Atmospheric and interesting, this is not a fast-paced thriller, but the nostalgia, a la Stephen King in ‘Stand By Me’ is intriguing enough to keep you going, with a relatable protagonist and an alluring hook.
