The New York Times Book Review gave SAVAGE APPETITES a stellar review, writing: “the journalist Rachel Monroe is interested in a paradox: upper-middle-class women who find that proximity to murder makes them feel more alive . . . Monroe has a knack for nosing a new story out of an old one, like a detective casting fresh eyes on a cold case.” The Guardian also interviewed Monroe and published an excerpt from SAVAGE APPETITES on the Columbine shooting and how it inspired a foiled mass murder plot. Scribner published the book on August 20, 2019.
