This story is so exquisitely written & internal in nature. You delve into & feel the emotions of every single character. Even the protagonist on death row has a history that, while on the one hand, he may deserve the punishment - but on the other hand, maybe life in prison would be more just? That point can certainly be debated. The focus of the novel, though, is not as much on the offender. It is on the women he has encountered along the way. What are their stories, their history, their relationship with him - whether fleeting or lasting. Such an interesting & worthy take! So often in stories of crime, the victims are simply an object of the awful deed done & the awful person who did it. Their voices are lost or forgotten. This tale reverses that. You can see with each chapter that a person has suffered some level pain & in turn, causes pain to another. Sometimes, it's inadvertent & with otherwise best intentions but still the end result is hurt. This book really makes you think of the domino effect that one action leads to another. My only challenge was getting used to the "2nd Person" literary point of view. I'd never had the opportunity to read a book that utilizes it & I understand that it is rarely used. In this case, the death row inmate is You, the reader. After a few chapters, however, I adjusted & could see that the author wanted us to be that much more intimately inside his head. It works! I read this book last month & when I looked back at all the others I'd read in 2022, this one is easily the best! Highly, highly recommended! Review: Creepy/tragic/engaging - I ordered this book immediately after hearing the author on one of my favorite podcasts. I was intrigued by her desire to humanize the stories of the victims rather than just focus on the serial killer. I also love female detectives. This one should be a movie. It was a page turner till the end. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #13,455 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #487 in Psychological Thrillers (Books) #1,375 in Literary Fiction (Books) #1,597 in Suspense Thrillers | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (16,357) | | Dimensions | 5.31 x 0.76 x 8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0063052741 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0063052741 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 336 pages | | Publication date | January 24, 2023 | | Publisher | William Morrow Paperbacks | ## Images ![Notes on an Execution: A Gripping and Atmospheric Literary Thriller about a Serial Killer on Death Row - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zfAO4SVZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heartbreaking & Beautiful *by L***P on January 14, 2023* Notes on an Execution is a novel that illustrates the truth of "Hurt people hurt people."

I was intrigued by her desire to humanize the stories of the victims rather than just focus on the serial killer. I also love female detectives. This one should be a movie. It was a page turner till the end. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Story about the Victims, Not the Killer *by P***Z on October 29, 2025* I absolutely enjoyed this holistic perspective of the effect the murders had on the family and friends of the victims. More often than not, victims are forgotten to the crime itself. Seeing the people who cared and envied those who were affected, through the idiosyncrasies and imperfections that made them who they were, made this story feel like more of a tragedy of what they could have become and the roles they prematurely leave behind. I also enjoyed seeing how each women’s trauma leads them to cope in different ways. While they might have been perceived as morally right or wrong in their methods, I appreciate the nuance that is provided to each of them and their growth. Overall, it’s an incredible, well-worth read and deserving of the recognition it has currently been receiving! ## Frequently Bought Together - Notes on an Execution: A Novel - Never Let Me Go - Mexican Gothic --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/517247225-notes-on-an-execution-a-gripping-and-atmospheric-literary-thriller](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/517247225-notes-on-an-execution-a-gripping-and-atmospheric-literary-thriller) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
