The Kind Worth Killing pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
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.

四星多吧,算得上page-turner!現實中也有Lily這樣的人吧,嗷。。
評分把殺人說的太輕鬆,殺意也起的太隨便瞭,有點麻木瞭。可能也是纔看完gone gilr,暫時對這種模式的小說有點膩瞭
評分文筆一般的page-turner
評分一般 隻有她把那個男的殺瞭的時候有點意思

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...

評分 評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...
