Publisher's summary

In Michelle Chouinard’s clever mystery The Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco, the granddaughter of a serial killer shows listeners another side of the beloved city.

Welcome to San Francisco, a city with killer charm.

The chill of a San Francisco summer can be deadly. No one knows this better than Capri Sanzio, who makes her living giving serial killer tours of the city. Capri has been interested in the topic since she was a kid, when she discovered she’s the granddaughter of serial killer William "Overkill Bill" Sanzio. She’s always believed in his innocence, though she's never taken the leap to fully dive into the case.

But now an Overkill Bill copycat has struck in San Francisco. And Capri’s former mother-in-law, Sylvia, just cut off Capri’s daughter’s tuition payments. Needing cash, Capri wonders if this is the time to exonerate her grandfather. The case is back in the news and the police will be looking to understand the past to catch a present-day killer. Capri could finally uncover the truth about Overkill Bill—documenting the process with a podcast and a book—and hopefully earn some money.

Before Capri can get very far, the cops discover the copycat’s latest victim: Sylvia. Capri soon finds herself at the heart of the police’s investigation for an entirely different reason. She and her daughter are prime suspects.

“Readers in search of a classic mystery need look no further.”–First Clue

“I could practically feel the heavy San Francisco fog as I was reading . . . I was glued to the pages!”—Alicia Thompson, author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers

A fun cozy mystery!

This was such a fun cozy mystery and a fantastic narration! I enjoyed reading from the perspective of someone in middle age rather than someone in their late teens/early 20’s as many books are.

Amazing!!

This was a great story, the characters are interesting and very well developed.
there's a good pace from scene to scene. I couldn't stop listening and at the end I was happy to have come across this author. I hope she comes out with more books.

Cute!

Love Capri as an amateur sleuth who is willing to do anything for truth. She gets herself in the middle of two different serial killer cases all while juggling doing tours around the city. The ending left with the possibility of a sequel! Can’t wait if so!
