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.
《杀戮目标》[美]彼得.斯旺森 之前被种草,买回家很久了一直没读,读完之后不禁感叹,太好看了。 故事开始于飞机上,一个男人遇见一个女人,聊的很投机,他向女人合盘托出企图杀妻的意图,女人也答应帮他。本来以为故事将按照这个路线发展,顶多在男女主人公回溯过往的时候有点...
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...
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...

评分可读性很强,文字流畅,节奏合理偏快,一步步跟着作者的描述展开故事,阅读快感不错。
评分故事就松本清张他们一个中篇或短篇的容量,为了凑字数强行POV,把同一段情节讲好几遍,角色历史又扯好几章,也没什么实际作用,角色塑造停留在女的都是碧池男的都是SB。这个水平的书分还很高还引进中文版了,真是奇怪。
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
评分几乎每章节一个翻转,结局竟然是开放式,作者我们出来聊聊人生理想和星星月亮!
评分朋友说这本比gone girl好看,剧情是曲折一点,但也就那样
