A middle-aged widow. A cleaver. A second career nobody saw coming.
Thank you Harper Perennial for the gifted book!
Korean crime fiction just delivered something truly unhinged and I am here for it.
I was out of town for a few weeks and it was so nice to come home to find book mail waiting for me. And this one has me intrigued.
Mrs. Shim Is a Killer by Kang Jiyoung has a wild premise. A widowed mom loses her job at the butcher shop, answers a vague help-wanted ad, and accidentally becomes a contract killer. Turns out her knife skills translate beautifully.
It’s a darkly funny Korean thriller about survival, reinvention, and a woman who is done being everyone’s doormat. The author already has a Disney+ adaptation under her belt (Shopping Mall for Killers), so she clearly knows how to build a world that’s equal parts absurd and gripping.
This is exactly the kind of read I pick up when I need something that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but still delivers. Can’t wait to dive in.
Interested in other book mail I've gotten? Check out this post.
