From the USA Today and International Bestselling author of The Widow Next Door comes a demented page-turner. If you knew your father’s darkest secret, would you turn him in? What if his secret was connected to you? When she's young, she doesn’t understand the weight of her father’s killing game. However, as she ages, she realizes her obsessive tendencies aren’t the only elements that separate her from her peers. After she begins to investigate her mother’s life and death, Ruby starts to believe there are some secrets even she doesn’t know about the serial killer she calls Daddy. As her father’s killing grows rampant, the secrets get harder and harder to hide—and she fears it will all come crashing down. Will Ruby seek a different life for herself and betray the only person who has ever loved her, or will she get wrapped up in his sinister path? A twisted page-turner that shines an eerie light on the father-daughter bond from the USA Today and International Bestseller L.A. Detwiler.
Ruby Marlowe’s always been a daddy’s girl. Her mother died when she was two, and her single father has ensured she has everything she needs. However, everyone has dark secrets, and Ruby’s father is no exception…

Written in diary format, we begin the story when Ruby Marlowe is 7 years old. As she ages, the story progresses and dark secrets begin to unfold. Ruby knows her father is hiding something dark and sinister, but the more Ruby learns the more dangerous things become.
“There’s something very wrong with Daddy….”
Detwiler does a fantastic job portraying young Ruby while staying true to her personality. The language style and grammar is realistic for her age and continues to develop as we progress through the diary entries. I also thought Ruby’s poetry was a creative addition that really heightened the book’s chilling suspense even more.
Diary of a Serial Killer’s Daughter visits the concept of “nature vs. nurture” with a thrilling tale and a twisted ending, perfect for psychological horror fans.
