Katie Williams made a splash with Tell the Machine Goodnight back in 2018. Her new release, My Murder, takes place in a similar futuristic setting, though one that’s not too far off from where we are now.
The book follows Lou, the victim of a serial killer, who along with her other victims, is brought back to life as a clone of her former self. Through their support group, Lou and the other victims together try to make sense of their murders.
I spoke with Katie Williams about this not so distant future, society’s fascination with true crime, and the complexities of writing from the perspective of a clone.
My Murder was published by Riverhead.
Marginalia was produced at KMUW Wichita and is part of the NPR Podcast Network.
