Author Danya Kukafka introduces us to Ansel Parker, a brutal serial killer on death row. In this haunting novel, rather than focusing on the mind and psyche of a killer, the classic narrative is turned on its head. We instead focus on the lives of the women who played a role in his life. We see Lavender, Hazel, and Saffy (his mother, his sister-in-law, and a detective), who are all struggling in their own way and whose lives were affected by his actions. "Notes on an Execution" draws you into their world and challenges you to question your understanding of human nature, empathy, and the criminal-justice system.
