Butter

2024

A convicted serial killer who lured lonely businessmen to their deaths with her exquisite cooking refuses to speak to anyone—until a determined female journalist contacts her, not for an exposé, but for a recipe. As their correspondence evolves into a clandestine culinary exchange, the journalist finds herself drawn into the killer's world, questioning her own appetites and the societal pressures that shape women's desires. This unsettling literary thriller, inspired by a true story, is a darkly delicious exploration of obsession, isolation, and the profound, often transgressive, power of food.
