The Kind Worth Killing
A Thriller & Suspense Short Story by Peter Swanson
Book 1 of the Henry Kimball Series
From Little Stack
If you enjoy thrillers where absolutely everyone is lying and nobody is safe, The Kind Worth Killing should be at the very top of your TBR. It all starts with an innocent conversation between two strangers in an airport bar. One admits he wishes his unfaithful wife were dead. The other casually offers to help. From there, Swanson takes readers on a wildly entertaining ride filled with manipulation, double-crosses and revenge served ice cold.
Inspired by Patricia Highsmith's Strangers on a Train but with plenty of fresh twists, this is one of those novels that constantly stays one step ahead of the reader. Every time you think you've figured out who's pulling the strings, the story shifts again, revealing another layer of deception. Best of all, the characters are deliciously morally questionable. You may find yourself rooting for people you probably shouldn't.
Fast-paced, wickedly clever and packed with jaw-dropping twists, The Kind Worth Killing is the perfect revenge thriller for readers who love psychological mind games.
A devious tale of psychological suspense perfect for fans of Paula Hawkins' The Girl on the Train—and is soon to be a major movie directed by Agnieszka Holland.
In a tantalizing set-up reminiscent of Patricia Highsmith's classic Strangers on a Train… On a night flight from London to Boston, Ted Severson meets the stunning and mysterious Lily Kintner. Sharing one too many martinis, the strangers begin to play a game of truth, revealing very intimate details about themselves.
Ted talks about his marriage that's going stale and his wife Miranda, who he's sure is cheating on him. Ted and his wife were a mismatch from the start—he the rich businessman, she the artistic free spirit—a contrast that once inflamed their passion, but has now become a cliché.
