About this listen

'A killer read with twist after twist.'
JANICE HALLETT
'So many great twists and a truly chilling villain . . . Swanson's best one yet.'

STACY WILLINGHAM
FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE KIND WORTH KILLING

After an unexpected, whirlwind romance, quiet librarian Martha married Alan. But when she thinks she sees his mask slip, she starts to fear that the conferences he travels the country to attend might be a cover for something far more sinister.
As she secretly starts to map his movements she unearths a string of dead women, but could these two things really be linked? Unsure of her own instincts, Martha turns to an old friend, Lily Kintner, who once helped her escape a toxic relationship in grad school. But what Martha doesn't know is that Lily has a dark side of her own . . .
'Menacing and exciting [...] It makes for a riveting entertainment.'
SUNDAY INDEPENDENT
'Clever, scary, endearing and plotted like clockwork'

Excellent continuation of the “Murder” series by Peter Swanson. The usual great twists and turns I’ve come to expect from these excellent enthralling novels.

Gripping from beginning to end !

I enjoy these American crime/psychological thriller books, the narration and plot lines keep you listening and there are always clever twists. This book should be read after The Kind Worth Killing and then the Kind Worth Saving, they feature some of the same characters and refer to previous books so makes it more understandable and enjoyable to read them in the written order. Intend to read through all the books of this author as they really are recommended for Patricia Highsmith fans and the like!

Another great Peter Swanson Novel

Is this the best book ever? No. Is it predictable? A little. However the familiarity of characters saves this and you end up rooting for the lesser of two evils.

Get them Lily
