This is a really interesting thriller that piqued my interest as someone who loves to enter competitions. The Killing Sense follows a red-haired woman (that fact is important!) named Kate Wilde who wins a Facebook competition for a place on a perfume course in Paris, with all expenses paid. However she cannot remember entering it.
Kate has a daughter called Hanna and has a restraining order out on her violent ex-husband. But when she arrives in Paris she gets the feeling that she is being watched. She knows her ex-husband Erik has links to the city. Could it be him, wanting access to his daughter?
The plot of this novel stems from the fact that perfume reacts differently on redheads and alongside Kate's story, body parts have been found in the city. A young girl named Agathe is worried for her friend after her disappearance and asks her uncle who runs a newspaper to look into it. They soon discover a link to a cold case where a redheaded woman's remains had been found.
Agathe's friend had just recently had her hair dyed red. And what about Kate and the fact she thinks she is being watched? Could she be the next victim?
I really enjoyed this thriller and the setting of Paris. I honestly didn't guess where it was going and felt myself wanting to go back a bit and reanalyse certain characters behaviours. It is an interesting premise and not one I've read about before.
