Psychological thriller To Kill. Never confide your problems to strangers.
Never confide your problems to strangers. Successful entrepreneur Ted Severson, who made his fortune from internet startups, breaks this rule while waiting for a delayed flight from London to Boston. Perhaps it's because he drinks too many martinis, or because Lily, the stranger who strikes up a conversation with him in the airport bar, is too attractive. A casual conversation turns into an intimate game of truth-telling, and a drunk Ted confides that his wife is cheating on him. Lily states quite seriously that some people don't deserve to live, and will help him kill his wife if he wants to. Ted has no idea that Lily has a dark secret of her own, so he doesn't back down from her proposal when he could...
Peter Swanson's psychological thriller pays homage to Patricia Highsmith's famous novel Strangers on a Train, which was successfully adapted for the screen by Alfred Hitchcock. Critics place his book clearly alongside bestsellers like The Disappeared. With one difference - Peter Swanson goes much further than Gillian Flynn in devising plots and shocking denouements.
They wrote about the book To Kill
„An exceptional thriller, sharp as a scalpel. “
Publishers Weekly
"If you're getting married, read something else."
Chris Pavone
"An exceptionally well-written tale of lies and revenge told by a gifted author... The characters seem normal on the outside, yet are delightfully wacky on the inside. The twists and turns don't just happen in the plot, but in the minds of the actors."
