Summary

'A killer read with twist after twist.' JANICE HALLETT

'So many great twists and a truly chilling villain . Swanson's best one yet.' MARK EDWARDS

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE KIND WORTH KILLING

Two years ago, Martha didn't know that Alan existed. Now, they're married - it was easy to say yes to someone so sweet.

But when Martha thinks she sees Alan's 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 her research unearths a string of dead women, she enlists the help of Lily Kintner, an old friend from grad school. What Martha doesn't know is that Lily has a dark side of her own . . .

'The master of the gently perverse.' Crime Time

Another great Peter Swanson Novel

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!

Never disappoints!

Twists and turns with a completely unpredictable plot twist. Excellent cast of narrators. Loved it. I hope we meet Lily and Henry again.

Get them Lily

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.

This book moves along at a good pace. Each chapter was relevant and interesting. I enjoyed this book a lot and will read more by this author. A good story, well narrated with a satisfying ending.
