A Deadly Game of Secrets in Suburban Paradise
What happens when three women with dark pasts become neighbors in an affluent cul-de-sac? John Marrs' psychological thriller "You Killed Me First" explores this premise through a mind-bending supernatural twist-murder victims temporarily inhabit their killer's consciousness before fading away. At the center is Anna Khan, a jewelry designer whose meek exterior hides a methodical killer on a revenge mission. She hears voices-not hallucinations, but the actual consciousness of her victims. Alongside her live Margot Rosetti, a former pop star desperate to reclaim her faded glory, and Liv, a wellness entrepreneur whose perfect life masks morally questionable foundations. As their lives intertwine through friendship, jealousy, and manipulation, we discover the true connections binding them together-a decades-old tragedy that set each woman on her current path. What begins as typical suburban competitiveness evolves into something far more sinister as buried secrets resurface with devastating consequences.
