Name: Notes on an Execution
Author: Danya Kukafka

by Danya Kukafka · 2022

Mystery & Thriller · ranked #20 in category

Winner · The Edgar Award for Best Novel, 2023

On the night of his execution, a serial killer's life is reconstructed not through his own perspective but through the women connected to him — his mother, his sister-in-law, the detective who caught him. Kukafka's Edgar Award-winning novel deliberately withholds the killer's voice, redirecting the true-crime genre's usual fascination with the perpetrator toward the women whose lives intersected with his.
