The Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco: A Mystery By Michelle Chouinard

In The Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco by Michelle Chouinard, the vibrant, fog-shrouded city hides a chilling legacy of death—and Capri Sanzio knows this better than anyone. As the granddaughter of infamous serial killer William "Overkill Bill" Sanzio, Capri has always lived in the shadow of her family's dark past. She’s turned her morbid fascination into a career, leading tourists through San Francisco’s notorious crime scenes, never fully believing her grandfather’s guilt.

But when an Overkill Bill copycat begins a new string of murders, Capri finds herself thrust back into the terrifying legacy she thought she’d left behind. Faced with mounting financial pressure—especially after her former mother-in-law, Sylvia, cuts off her daughter’s tuition payments—Capri sees an opportunity. Maybe this is her chance to clear her grandfather's name, capitalize on the media attention, and finally uncover the truth through a podcast and book deal.

However, everything takes a dark turn when Sylvia becomes the latest victim of the copycat. Suddenly, Capri is no longer just a curious bystander but a prime suspect, and worse, so is her daughter. As the police close in and the media frenzy escalates, Capri must race against time to unravel the twisted truth behind the murders before she and her daughter are trapped in the deadly web of San Francisco’s killer history.

With clever plotting and sharp twists, The Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco is a thrilling mystery that explores how the sins of the past can haunt the present.
