From the author of the acclaimed The Girl with a Clock for a Heart - hailed by the Washington Post as crime fiction’s best first novel of 2014 - comes a devious tale of psychological suspense involving sex, deception, and an accidental encounter that leads to murder that is a modern reimagining 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.
But their game turns a little darker when Ted jokes that he could kill Miranda for what she’s done. Lily, without missing a beat, says calmly, “I’d like to help.” After all, some people are the kind worth killing, like a lying, stinking, cheating spouse.
Back in Boston Ted and Lily’s twisted bond grows stronger as they begin to plot Miranda’s demise. But there are a few things about Lily’s past that she hasn’t shared with Ted, namely her experience in the art and craft of murder, a journey that began in her very precocious youth.
Suddenly these coconspirators are embroiled in a chilling game of cat and mouse, one they both cannot survive…with a shrewd and very determined detective on their tail.
彼得·斯旺森(Peter Swanson),毕业于马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校的三一学院和爱默生学院,取得创意写作、教育和文学学位。他的小说和诗歌曾经发表于《大西洋》(Atlantic)、《神秘-E》(Mysterical-E)、《词评》(Vocabula Review)和《扬基杂志》(Yankee Magazine)。和妻子以及一只猫,住在马萨诸塞州的萨默维尔,潜心创作。
(注意:严重剧透)这本书必须满星,节奏毫不拖沓,其中充满惊喜,读完一章你以为你知道了后面的发展,翻页你就发现有反转。我跟男友说我很喜欢我最近在看的这本小说,他说“腹黑中带点小变态的哇?”我问“你咋晓得?”他说“因为你就好这口”。女主Lily就是个腹黑中带点变态,冷酷中带点迷人的红发美女。我挺喜欢她的。虽然Lily和Miranda都是谋杀犯,但Lily杀死的几个人都是“the kind worth killing”--该死之人,除了最后那个警察,不过反正也没能杀死。而Miranda就是个爱钱的bitch。结尾我有点意犹未尽,又有点遗憾,因为我希望Lily可以完全逍遥法外,哈!这本是Goldsboro Books2月的“Book of the month”,果然不错。我得看看3月推荐的书是哪本。
评分最后是不是暗示她妈妈一直都知道呀
评分一般 只有她把那个男的杀了的时候有点意思
评分audiobook读的很好啊;最毒妇人心,女主是个狠人,倒吸一口冷气;作者很会讲故事, 层层递进,娓娓道来;适合拍成电影,优质反转家庭悬疑惊悚剧;有些白夜行的感觉
评分A lot of tweaks. I was like wooooooow by the end of a chapter for at least 2 times.
我记得此书在日本推理海外书榜前十中有一席之地,2016年的时候该书曾以《杀戮目标》为名出版,三年后再版不仅换了个名字和封面,而且价格也涨了三分之一(好吧,没涨一般就很良心了)。小说被誉为《火车上的陌生人》升级版,也就是在交通工具上两个过去素不相识的人商量交换杀...

评分两个貌似毫无关系的陌生人,一场纯属偶然的相遇,一段关于背叛和报复的闲谈,然后,他们决定联手实施一场完美谋杀。这是一本有着精妙设定和多重反转的悬疑小说,原本应该是我的菜。但是在叙事上过多平铺直叙的细节和枯燥乏味的心理刻画,耗尽了我所有的耐心。最令人匪夷所思的...
评分初听到这本书书的推荐是被表达方式所吸引的。每一章都是从不同角色的角度来进行描写的,穿插着主要人物的成长经历为即将来临的谋杀铺垫。 几乎上每几章就会有一个反转,机场的艳遇,貌美的妻子,山羊胡的建造师;为了爱情,为了金钱,为了背叛,为了报复;设局,引诱,真心,假...
