You should never talk to strangers

With his flight delayed, Ted Severson meets Lily Kintner, a magnetic stranger, in an airport bar. In the netherworld of international travel and too many martinis, he confesses his darkest secrets, about his wife's infidelity and how he wishes her dead. Without missing a beat Lily offers to help him carry out the task.

Could not stop listening to this. This is my third Swanson book and probably the best. Gripping stuff.

Superb thriller

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The book is so good with twist I never saw coming. It kept me at the edge of my seat.
The narrator for Lilly however keeps pronouncing W and H in every wh word, W-Here, W-Hite etc it really really irked me, SORRY!

Amazing book

Quite fun murder story. I’ve enjoyed listening to the scheming and plotting, from a bunch of ne’er do goods that you can’t help rooting for!

Excellent page turner

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
When two passengers met in the bar at the vip lounge in Heathrow airport, they get chatting. They are both waiting to return to New York. When Ted confides to Lily that he suspects his wife is having an affair with their building contractor he half joking tells her he could kill his wife. Lily offers 5o do this for him.
She isn’t joking. Ted is married to her rival from her collage days, the one who stole the affection of her one and only love, the cheating Eric.
If you think you know how this is going to pan out from that short description, get ready to have your theories thrown out more that once!

Slick and very readable

Murders and money, a well illustrated story but I didn’t find it that interesting. Not really a thriller

Money and murder, not so much thriller
