About this listen

JANICE HALLETT

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'

Already looking forward to the next one. It’s great how they’re all the books are linked. Recommended.

I didn't realise this book is the 3rd in a series, but I'm pleased to say it reads well as a standalone. This is my first book by this author and although it is well written it didn't quite hit the mark for me. I flew through the first part and loved the game changing twist, but the second half was less compelling and my mind kept wandering.. I did enjoy the character of Lily and I may read The Kind Worth Killing just to meet her again.

Missed the mark

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

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 !
