Descripción: Críticas “Chilling and hypnotically suspenseful … could be an instant classic.” -- Lee Child, author of Personal“A fun read, full of switchbacks and double crosses… With classic misdirection, Swanson distracts us from the details - changing up murderers and victims fast enough to keep us reading. And, implausibly, rooting for the cold-blooded killer at this thriller’s core.” -- Boston Globe“A twisty tale of warring sociopaths [and] a good companion to similar stories by Laura Lippman and Gillian Flynn.” -- Booklist“Revenge has rarely been served colder than in Swanson’s exceptional thriller....With scalpel-sharp prose, Swanson probes the nature of coldblooded evil. Few will be prepared for the crushing climax.” -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)“A devilishly twisty plot, with some gasp-inducing moments. And the ending is terrific.” -- Bookseller (UK)“[Lily] becomes my favourite sociopath―and believe me, there are plenty of them in this very convincing, tightly-plotted novel of revenge and betrayal. . . . Very entertaining.” -- Daily Mail (UK)“A work of lovely violence and graceful malevolence, The Kind Worth Killing slips into your life like a stiletto in the ribs. This is a book that launches Peter Swanson straight into the ranks of the killer elite, alongside Tana French and Gillian Flynn. He’s the real deal.” -- Joe Hill, author of NOS4A2“Peter Swanson has updated Patricia Highsmith’s Strangers on a Train for the new millennium...This is a well written and highly accomplished thriller… You cannot fail to be captivated by this book.” -- Tatler (UK)“A wicked tale full of wicked characters... Sublime writing and more than a few sit-up-straight surprises.” -- Huffington Post“Gripping, elegantly and stylishly written, and extremely hard to put down!” -- Sophie Hannah, author of The Monogram Murders and Kind of Cruel“Filled with double-timers and double-crossers, cold-eyed stalkers and cold-blooded murderers, The Kind Worth Killing paints a riveting, disturbing picture of marriage gone horribly awry, with no shortage of startling surprises. If you’re engaged to get married, by all means read something else.” -- Chris Pavone, author of The Expats“A terrifically hypnotic page-turner that marks Peter Swanson as an exciting new talent.” -- Good Housekeeping, Thriller of the Month (UK)“From its initial nod to Strangers on a Train onwards, this is a homage to Patricia Highsmith, but in some ways it outdoes the queen of queasy in sheer nastiness. . . . [Swanson] continually juggles narrators and pulls off surprises.” -- Sunday Times (UK)“Nothing and no one are as they first appear in this deliciously twisted and devious thriller… A classy, slick and stiletto-sharp thriller that builds to a nerve-shredding climax.” -- Sunday Mirror (UK)“[There are] many surprises in a plot that twists and turns like a jack-knife.” -- BBC Radio 4 (UK)“A dark tale of an affair that ends in murder, with a number of Gone Girl-esque twists along the way.” -- Shortlist (UK)“An extraordinarily well-written tale of deceit and revenge told by a very gifted writer. . . . The characters [] seem normal on the outside, but are deliciously abnormal on the inside. The twists are not just in the plot; they are also in the heads of the plotters.” -- Nelson DeMille“Revenge has rarely been served colder than in Swanson’s exceptional thriller, his second standalone after 2013’s The Girl with a Clock for a Heart. . . . With scalpel-sharp prose, Swanson probes the nature of coldblooded evil. Few will be prepared for the crushing climax.” -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)“Might be first truly unputdownable book of 2015. . . . A whole plethora of gasping surprises and gutting reveals that’ll will keep you on the edge of the seat all to the end. . . . An addictive and seductive read. . . .Simply brilliant stuff.” -- Upcoming4me.com“The next Gone Girl? . . . There aren’t just two unreliable narrators, there are four. There isn’t just one enormous, game-changing twist.
