The Serial Killer Wife Rulebook is as wickedly witty as it is deliciously deranged—in true Victor Peter style!

Victor Peter doesn’t just deliver a thriller full of twists and jaw-dropping reveals—he weaves fame, true crime culture, and the insanity of internet virality with non-stop razor-sharp humor. Emily Graves is chaos personified constantly living on the hot mess express. Once the narrator of a hugely popular true crime podcast, she’s now the crime itself—and watching her spin, survive, and scheme her way through a media frenzy (and a body count) is a pulse-pounding and binge-worthy experience.

The dynamic between Emily and her husband Nathan is one of the most hilariously intriguing parts, as they are polar opposites. Nathan wants a quiet life, Emily wants the spotlight, and together they’re trying to outrun everything from the FBI to fangirls with murder manifestos. Speaking of fangirls—Claire is the perfect foil: obsessive, deranged, and determined to steal Emily’s crown as queen of infamy. The cat-and-mouse tension between the two is sharp, bloody, and brilliantly entertaining.

What sets this book apart is the voice. Emily’s snarky commentary, her unapologetic flair for drama, and her obsession with “controlling the narrative” make her feel like a character you should hate—but can’t stop rooting for. It’s Dexter meets Only Murders in the Building, with stilettos, mugshots, and coffee.

Totally twisty, sharply satirical, and packed with quotable “rules,” this is the kind of thriller that leaves you grinning even as you gasp. If you love your thrillers bloody but stylish, twisted but smart, this one’s a must-read.

A hilariously twisty thriller that kept me on my toes and turning pages throughout the night! Wow, Victor Peter you have done it again! What a fabulous follow up to the Serial Killer Husband Rulebook! I loved reading the banter between Emily and Nathan and trying to figure out what Emily was going to do next! Emily is such a firecracker and so unpredictable and her character is such fun to read about. With reappearances from Jenna and Claire, I felt like the whole tribe was back together again but in a different setting. And Margaret Carlson was such a deliciously fun character in the story as the annoying neighbor we all love to hate! The chapters were short, the writing was fast-paced, the plot was great, the twists were everywhere, and the characters were layered and fun – all the things I love in a book! Thank you for another incredible book! I honestly don’t know how this author writes these fabulous books so fast but I hope there’s a sequel coming soon! I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is a dark, hilarious thrill ride from start to finish! Emily Graves is the kind of chaotic antihero you can’t help but root for—part podcaster, part fugitive, and 100% unforgettable.

The twists are wild, the humor is razor-sharp, and the whole thing reads like your favorite true crime doc got hijacked by a stylish maniac. If you like satire, suspense, and unhinged women taking back control, this is your next obsession.

A killer read—literally!

“Serial Killer Wife Rulebook” by Victor Peter builds perfectly on “Serial Killer Husband Handbook”, this sequel is another dark, twisted, and wildly entertaining ride. Victor Peter masterfully blends suspense and humor, keeping you laughing even in the tensest moments. Watching Nathan unravel while Emily takes center stage is pure fun—she’s cunning, unpredictable, and absolutely captivating. The tension never lets up, the twists keep coming, and the pace doesn’t slow down for a second. I was hooked from the first page and couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait to see what’s next for this deadly duo!
