I was lucky enough to hear Steve Cavanagh and Gillian McAllister talk about their latest books at my local Waterstones recently. So, of course, that means I have to start reading them (and pause for a moment on shopping my shelves). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘Kill for Me Kill for You’ is a standalone novel from the pen of Steve Cavanagh (do not worry, Eddie Flynn is returning), inspired by the novel ‘Strangers on a Train’ (yes, I have ordered a copy of that book too). It is a page-turning thriller full of twists and turns, and quite some suspense. It is a study of what may lead someone to agree to kill another person – and if an agreement means that someone can actually go through the act. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is always hard to review thrillers, as there are no spoilers here – however, this book is simply brilliant. I could not put it down; I read past my bedtime and chores were definitely left undone as I needed to know what was going to happen next. Especially each time something new was revealed that you may not have been expecting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a very well-constructed narrative, with the clever use of timelines and characters’ narratives building all the thrilling tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steve Cavanagh is a particularly talented thriller writer, and I cannot wait to read more of the Eddie Flynn books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
