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.

把杀人说的太轻松,杀意也起的太随便了,有点麻木了。可能也是才看完gone gilr,暂时对这种模式的小说有点腻了
评分可读性很强,文字流畅,节奏合理偏快,一步步跟着作者的描述展开故事,阅读快感不错。
评分时间线穿插+不同视角读起来很吊人胃口,节奏掌握的也可以。果然像这种psychological thriller真的很适合编成电影,期待明年上映,求别糊。

评分朋友说这本比gone girl好看,剧情是曲折一点,但也就那样
《杀戮目标》[美]彼得.斯旺森 之前被种草,买回家很久了一直没读,读完之后不禁感叹,太好看了。 故事开始于飞机上,一个男人遇见一个女人,聊的很投机,他向女人合盘托出企图杀妻的意图,女人也答应帮他。本来以为故事将按照这个路线发展,顶多在男女主人公回溯过往的时候有点...
评分 评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...
评分初听到这本书书的推荐是被表达方式所吸引的。每一章都是从不同角色的角度来进行描写的,穿插着主要人物的成长经历为即将来临的谋杀铺垫。 几乎上每几章就会有一个反转,机场的艳遇,貌美的妻子,山羊胡的建造师;为了爱情,为了金钱,为了背叛,为了报复;设局,引诱,真心,假...
