I'd Rather Be Murdered in a Public Place is a deeply unnecessary, unapologetically inappropriate book about thinking too much and saying the quiet part out loud.This is not a memoir, not a manifesto, and definitely not self-help. It offers no solutions, no lessons, and no meaningful personal growth. What it does offer is an unfiltered look at the strange ways a mind wanders when left alone for too long, fueled by curiosity, misinformation, and a questionable amount of confidence.The book moves freely between observation and overreaction, sincerity and absurdity, touching on fear, aging, belief, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of the world. Some of it is true. Some of it is wrong. Much of it sounds convincing enough to cause concern.If at any point while reading you find yourself confused, uncomfortable, or stopping to ask, What is this supposed to be? then the book is working exactly as intended.This is a book for people who enjoy laughing, thinking, and occasionally regretting both.Read responsibly.
