Vengeance essential house 11/22/2024 ![]() ![]() Set in the late 70s, the novel’s grasp of the era is pitch-perfect, and Knoll’s craft in both plotting and dialogue is at a peak. The novel is split between two perspectives: a supremely self-possessed student who faces the daunting challenge of preserving her sorority sisters’ dignity in death, and a shy young woman who finds love, then seeks vengeance. Bright Young Women is Knoll’s take on Ted Bundy, as we follow the residents of a sorority house during and after a horrific attack by a serial-killing misogynist who will soon become as famous for his adoring fans as for his murders. Jessica Knoll’s brilliant, blistering third novel is a tart new addition to the growing oeuvre of novels critiquing our fetishization of serial killers and focusing on their victims as whole people with interrupted lives, not props in their murderous dramas. The CrimeReads editors make their picks for the year’s best fiction. ![]()
