Following a whirlwind romance, the pair of book nerds have been wed for a year now and their life has settled into a routine that seems to suit them both...
until Martha starts to suspect that not only is her husband still a stranger to her, but he might also be a serial killer. If you like your psychopaths mad, bad, dangerous to know, or just wickedly seductive, then you won’t want to miss this summer’s most compulsive, edge-of-the-seat murder mystery from the grand master of misdirection Peter Swanson. Award-winning US author Swanson’s awesome, literary brain loves to defy readers’ expectations and in this stunning and ingeniously plotted psychological thriller, he harnesses all the familiar crime tropes and then performs some spectacular, mind-bending twists and turns.
Written with his signature stylish assurance and awesome complexity, and steeped in breathtaking malevolence, mind play and murder, A Talent for Murder bewitches and bamboozles us from the first jaw-dropping chapter, through the return of two memorable stars from his bestselling books, The Kind Worth Killing and The Kind Worth Saving, and on to the spectacular dénouement. So buckle up, sit back and enjoy the ride as we meet Martha who conceded long ago that she would most likely spend her life alone. Far from being unhappy at the prospect, she enjoyed her solo existence, finding stimulation from her work as a librarian in Maine.
But then Martha hooked up online with fellow book lover Alan, a charmi.
