The author of the wildly popular The Kind Worth Killing returns with an electrifying and downright Hitchcockian psychological thrillerâ??as tantalizing as the cinema classics Rear Window and Wait Until Darkâ??involving a young woman caught in a vise of voyeurism, betrayal, manipulation, and murder.

The danger isn't all in your head . . .

Growing up, Kate Priddy was always a bit neurotic, experiencing momentary bouts of anxiety that exploded into full blown panic attacks after an ex-boyfriend kidnapped her and nearly ended her life. When Corbin Dell, a distant cousin in Boston, suggests the two temporarily swap apartments, Kate, an art student in London, agrees, hoping that time away in a new place will help her overcome the recent wreckage of her life.

But soon after her arrival at Corbin's grand apartment on Beacon Hill, Kate makes a shocking discovery: his next-door neighbor, a young woman named Audrey Marshall, has been murdered. When the police question her about Corbin, a shaken Kate has few answers, and many questions of her ownâ??curiosity that intensifies when she meets Alan Cherney, a handsome, quiet tenant who lives across the courtyard, in the apartment facing Audrey's. Alan saw Corbin surreptitiously come and go from Audrey's place, yet he's denied knowing her. Then, Kate runs into a tearful man claiming to be the dead woman's old boyfriend, who insists Corbin did the deed the night that he left for London.

When she reaches out to her cousin, he proclaims his innocence and calms her nerves . . . until she comes across disturbing objects hidden in the apartmentâ??and accidently learns that Corbin is not where he says he is. Could Corbin be a killer? And what about Alan? Kate finds herself drawn to this appealing man who seems so sincere, yet she isn't sure. Jetlagged and emotionally unstable, her imagination full of dark images caused by the terror of her past, Kate can barely trust herself . . . So how could she take the chance on a stranger she's just met?

Yet the danger Kate imagines isn't nearly as twisted and deadly as what's about to happen. When her every fear becomes very real.

And much, much closer than she thinks.

Told from multiple points of view, Her Every Fear is a scintillating, edgy novel rich with Peter Swanson's chilling insight into the darkest corners of the human psyche and virtuosic skill for plotting that has propelled him to the highest ranks of suspense, in the tradition of such greats as Gillian Flynn, Paula Hawkins, Patricia Highsmith, and James M… (plus d'informations)

Another interesting thriller from Peter Swanson. I love that we follow Kate to America and we get to meet some real "characters" in and around the apartment building. Just when you think you have the story figured out, there is a twist and you find out all of your assumptions are wrong.

Looking forward to reading more of Peter's work in the future. ( )

I was able to figure out early on the identity of the whodunnit. The why and how were not so easy to determine. In fact, the reason that the perpetrator of the crimes acted as he did was pretty chilling. It was what made this psychological thriller so scary. Any woman who lives alone is going to be afraid not only for Kate but for themselves as well. This book will make you second guess every odd sound you hear in your home. I believe that the "her" in the title "Her Every Fear" includes the reader.

The story has a jaw dropping plot that turns into an awful tale of horror. Fans of psychological mysteries will love it. The plot becomes more and more scary and disturbing as the story unravels and it kept me sitting on the edge of my seat. It also made me get up out of bed and check my door multiple times during the night that I finished reading the book. I can say so much more about why this book is good but basically it scared me to death. ( )

I wasn't sure how I felt about this one at first - normally I lean towards thrillers that builds suspense as the story unravels, but this one wasn't like that. This book was fantastic as it delved into more of the thoughts of the parties involved. This isn't exactly a traditional "mystery" as we learn who committed the crimes straight from the perpetrators, this is more about how these people are affected by what has happened to them and the actions it leads them to take.

Meh. ( )

As one imagine from the title, this novel is a creepy mystery, involving murdered women and characters with messed up relationships. Told from different perspectives, the characters and their stories intertwine, making for a fast-paced book with frequent new revelations. After some of the events in this book, I may have trouble sleeping tonight. ( )
