The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson
4.0

It seems that thrillers in literature are enjoying a renaissance of sorts thanks to Gillian Flynn.

The Kind Worth Killing is just the kind of dark, demented thriller I've come to enjoy. I haven't read Strangers on a Train, so was unprepared for the blow(s) this book dealt. Its got all the Flyyn-ic elements alright. Femme fatales who do not as much blink an eyelid when planning/committing grievous crimes, unfaithful men, and an epic climax. Triple whammy!

Despite the fabulous theme, the narration was slightly off and some things were clumsily dealt with. All that notwithstanding, this is one hell of a book.

Read it if you loved Gone Girl!
