⭐⭐⭐⭐½ Review – Kill for Me, Kill for You by Steve Cavanagh

Steve Cavanagh’s Kill for Me, Kill for You is a masterclass in psychological suspense that grips you from page one.

The story centers on two women bound by grief and vengeance.  When their paths cross, an extraordinary and terrifying bargain is struck each will kill the other’s tormentor. Cavanagh’s signature flair for morally gray characters and jaw-dropping reveals.

Told through multiple perspectives, the novel weaves together Amanda and Ruth’s desperate pact with the tense, dogged pursuit of Detectives Farrow and Clarke. As the investigation closes in, the question shifts from will they get away with it to who can be trusted at all because in true Cavanagh fashion, nothing is as it first appears.

What makes this book stand out is the emotional weight behind the suspense. Cavanagh doesn’t just deliver clever twists, though there are plenty of those. He grounds the plot in raw grief, trauma, and the way tragedy can warp choices. The pacing is electric, the stakes sky-high, and the ending while shocking is also deeply satisfying.
A compulsive, clever, and emotionally charged thriller that’s nearly impossible to put down.
