Summary
Killing Me Softly, by the acclaimed and bestselling author Nicci French, is a terrifying journey into the heart of obsession . . . You have everything. But you give it up for an affair. You're in passionate love. And grave danger…
Alice Loudon couldn't resist abandoning her old, safe life for a wild affair. And in Adam Tallis, a rugged mountaineer with a murky past, she finds a man who can teach her things about herself that she never even suspected. But sexual obsession has its dark side - and so does Adam. Soon both are threatening all that Alice has left. First her sanity. Then her life.

Boring! Very little happens...
Was expecting good things from the snippet available to listen to before buying but that was the best bit. The rest was so boring, with endless bedroom scenes and nothing else. Shouldn't have bought this- it was not the book for me.

Slow burn that's not really worth the effort
This is such a slow burner, and whilst I am a patient reader/listener this book tested me to the max. I did listen to the end and I can say that the last few chapters really picked up in pace, but it was a lot of effort for not much of a pay off.
The themes include sexual exploration and domination, obsession and manipulation.
Adam is a sinister character but in contrast the protagonist of the book is frustrating at times and I couldn't really get to the bottom of what motivated her to do the things she did.
Over all I don't think this book is worth the effort there is better out there in this genre, which is a shame as I am a big Nicci French fan - My advice try one of their other books first.

So bad, I stopped after 3 hours
This book must be aimed at intellectually-deprived teenagers or empty-headed romantics with no grasp on reality. Everyone likes escapism, but this was just rot.
Worst book I've had in a long time.

Gripping from beginning to end!
This was well paced, well read and enjoyable throughout. Brilliantly researched. The story carrys one along effortlessly. Loved it.

Not my style book
I had to return this book. I've read most of Nicci French's books and enjoyed them, however this one went down a route that was far too close and personal for my liking and I wasn't able to listen to it. I'm sure Nicci's fans will enjoy it and the narrator is good but I couldn't. Sorry Nicci

First class thriller
Intense complex characters and plot. Shows how fine a line there is between being totally in love/lust with someone and being something else entirely.
If you've ever been so in love that you have shut people out of your life to be joined at the hip to each other, you should read this book and try and answer the questions the story poses.

A fatal love story
This is at once a tragic love story, and a murderous rampage. As one of my favourite authors, Nicci French has done it again. A riveting story of one man's passion, and intent on murder when the passion tries to leave him.

Nothing much all a bit “self indulgent “
It was very slow to get off the ground and not a particularly believable story line. I did listen to the end but not one of her best.

Disappointing
This book was not for me and I had to give up. I am a fan of Nicci French, but this did not feel like her usual style.
