The Serial Killer Survivors Club

Summary

From bestselling thriller writer Fiona Cummins, The Serial Killer Survivors Club explores the fragile friendships formed in a unique support group—for the young family members of people who have committed the darkest of crimes.

It takes the daughter of a serial killer to catch one.

Robyn “Sulky” Sullivan is the teenage daughter of a convicted serial killer, a father she adored but whose shocking crimes turn her into a pariah overnight. Ostracized and bullied, Sulky spirals—until an intervention lands her in a support group for the young family members of mass murderers, where, amid awkward confessions and unspeakable histories, she finds friendship for the first time in her life.

As Sulky and her new friends—Bliss, Abi, and Bug—cling to their newfound and fragile sense of belonging, the nearby market town of Lavenham is gripped by terror: three young women have vanished without a trace, with no suspect in sight.

When Bliss disappears on the night of the worst storm in two hundred years, the others head out into the woods, risking everything to find her. Out in the darkness, their hunt for Bliss collides with the hunt for a killer—and forces them to confront the question that haunts them all: If your bloodline is steeped in violence, can you ever truly choose a different path?

A dark yet emotionally resonant novel about friendship, resilience, and the far-reaching consequences of childhood trauma, The Serial Killer Survivors Club is perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell’s Then She Was Gone and The List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey.
