Fiction. Literature. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:

A devious tale of psychological suspense perfect for fans of Paula Hawkins' The Girl on the Trainâ??and is soon to be a major movie directed by Agnieszka Holland.

In a tantalizing set-up reminiscent 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 startâ??he the rich businessman, she the artistic free spiritâ??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 co-conspirators are embroiled in a chilling game of cat-and-mouse, one they both cannot survive . . . with a shrewd and very determined detective on their… (plus d'informations)

This kept changing the narrative so you would think you were aware of who was on top but then it would switch again and leave you wondering. It starts off like strangers on a train, but gets so much more convoluted from there. It leaves off on a bit of a cliff hanger, but I nothing so major you have to rush to the next book. ( )
