Book Tour: Sincerely, Your Murderer Review

 


Title: Sincerely, Your Murderer by Ravena Guron

Genre: YA Mystery, Thriller

Published: October 13, 2026

Rating: 4.5 ⭐


Thank you to Sourcebooks Fire and Colored Pages Book Tours for allowing me to be part of this book tour.

Kay is seventeen when she leaves her hometown behind after her friend Ivy passes away. When her parents go on holiday without her, she suddenly has to move back in with her cousin. Her homecoming doesn’t go smoothly at all, though. The very first thing she finds waiting on her bed is a strange, anonymous letter. It lays out a scary countdown. Something bad will happen each day, from Tuesday to Monday. Now Kay has just one week to work out who’s threatening her before time runs out.

I honestly didn’t have big expectations when I picked this book up, but I ended up liking it more than I thought I would, and I found myself getting more and more invested the further I read. It quite reminded me of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder with its small-town atmosphere and feeling of digging up secrets. I’d say the tension isn’t quite high here, which is understandable since it is a YA mystery/thriller. Still, it keeps you turning the pages easily.

And I loved how the characters felt like real people. They had depth and developed well as the story went on, which kept everything interesting. And the plot twist? I was so sure I’d figured things out, but I was totally wrong, lol. It was such an easy read too; nothing too complicated or heavy, just a solid, surprising mystery that was really fun to follow along with.

Overall, it was a really enjoyable read. If you like a mystery/thriller that feels like you’re racing against time where no one feels entirely trustworthy, and secrets are everywhere, this one's for you!
