Confessions of a Killer Virgin Genre: Dark Comedy | Neo-Noir Thriller Tone: Stylish, Satirical, Sinisterly Elegant Lucienne Marais is flawless. Fashionable, mysterious, and endlessly polite-she's the woman who leaves lilies at every funeral and never stays long enough for small talk. But behind the silk gloves and soft-spoken charm lies a secret: she's a virgin-and a serial killer. Her victims? Men of power who misuse it. A surgeon who touches what he shouldn't. A CEO who silences women with hush money. An influencer hiding his fists behind filters. Lucienne's kills are poetic, precise, and deeply personal. And always followed by her favorite ritual: slipping into a church pew and whispering a "confession" no one truly hears. To the world, she's a grieving beauty. A myth. A mystery. But former priest-turned-true-crime-podcaster, Elijah Voss, is beginning to put the pieces together. He's not just tracking the pattern-he's obsessed with her. And she knows it. Each chapter follows Lucienne's cycle: identify, seduce, destroy, repent-in heels. She doesn't feel guilt. She feels purpose. But the line between justice and addiction is starting to blur. As Elijah gets closer, and her past begins to crack through the surface, Lucienne faces the ultimate confession: Is she doing God's work-or just feeding her hunger for control? When Elijah finally confronts her inside a candlelit chapel, it isn't with handcuffs-but with a choice. Expose her... or understand her. Because Lucienne doesn't run. She whispers. She smiles. She walks away. And someone else always follows. ⸻ A seductive dark comedy of sin, stilettos, and sacred vengeance.
