The Sympathy Kill

Dead social insurance examiner Elena Voss narrates from the cold space between worlds, pleading for justice. She was murdered by a stranger, a crazed admirer who read her public plea for compassion. But as her ghost peels back the layers of memory, a darker truth emerges: her killer was not the revenge-driven sister of a denied claimant, but the very sympathy she cultivated to survive the scandal. A chilling psychological thriller in the vein of Loreth Anne White, where the revenge process crushes the soul long before the final breath, and the narrator’s own unreliability is the deadliest weapon.
