Praise for How I’ll Kill You

“A triumph… Mark my words: Ren DeStefano—who has achieved a distinctness of voice and vision that is quite rare—is both an author to watch and a name to remember.”
—Criminal Element

“This deceptive thriller opens as a chilling, dispassionate chronicle of murderous triplets devoted to their chosen craft and each other, but it evolves into a twisted love story as layers of loneliness, self-sacrifice, and competing loyalties surface. Readers will find that this sneakily heart-wrenching story lingers with them after Sissy’s final words.”
—Booklist (starred review)

“When it comes to carefully concealed sociopathy, the fascinating protagonist in DeStefano’s adult debut gives Gone Girl’s Amy Elliott a run for her money. Combine this with a cleverly crafted plot that delivers ingenious twists, and you have a novel that will stun readers.”
—Library Journal (starred review)

“This devilishly clever textbook of malicious mayhem is a must for Dexter fans.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“This chilling book is both twisted and tense. The writing is lean, the plotting is tight, and the story is whip smart. Will have you glued to the page.”
—Samantha Downing, USA Today bestselling author of My Lovely Wife
