The Killing Kind

Read this in one day - one day! Revenge, perceived revenge, and constant terror - but so mundane you can believe it may happen to you if you meet just the wrong person. No spoilers, but you just have to keep reading and no cheating to see the end, you will want to, but don't!

Suspenseful, fun and overall a great read! Enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone looking for a good cat & mouse story!

Being paranoid all the time is no way to live. But what if you have good reason to be? Ingrid is a lawyer who has always felt a stalking case would come back to haunt her. That lingering fear comes homes to roost. The book has a clever twist, where the culprit becomes the accomplice, switching sides, or does he? The author weaves a story that swoops and dives with alacrity and will leave readers to feverishly pursue the truth until the final act,

I love Jane Casey's stories and the characters in them. The barrister is being stalked and only her stalker can save her. Or so he says. Who can she believe. A great thriller!!! It keeps you on your toes and guessing. I give this book five stars.

The Killing Kind is the perfect creepy read! Stalker stories are both captivating and terrifying, and this is one of the best! I loved this book!

This was my first book by Jane Casey and it was incredible!!

Barrister Ingrid Lewis finds herself in a bad situation once again after fellow Barrister Belinda Grey is killed in an “accident” while walking across the road. Ingrid believes she was the intended target due to the fact that Belinda was using her umbrella at the time of her death. Ingrid successfully defended an accused stalker named, John Webster. Ever since then, Webster has tried to destroy Ingrid’s life with her fiancé, Mark. Webster burned down her home and has sent her endless harassing emails and texts.

Jane Casey has created a truly gripping psychological crime thriller. While reading this story I developed several plausible theories to explain the events that take place, only to be proven completely wrong at the end. I can highly recommend this book with one serious warning…you may need to pull an all-nighter because the hours will disappear and it is impossible to put down! I will be checking into this author’s extensive back catalog in the near future.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Harper 360 for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I’ve read all of Jane Casey’s Maeve Kerrigan series and found them to be excellent reads. This standalone is a slow burn with lots of tension. The stalker claims he is the only one who can save her. The characters are well-developed but they don’t know who they can trust. The book has an intriguing plot with lots of twists and turns and a good ending. If you love gripping psychological thrillers then you will enjoy this one!

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you….. This book was a great read that keep me on my toes every step of the way. I highly recommend!

This new book by Casey is a nonstop roller coaster ride to the very end. Ingrid is a British barrister for whom a past case throws her life into a state of chaos. After successfully defending a stalker, Ingrid becomes his new object of obsession. Always one step ahead of the police and with an alibi, Webster moves in and out of her life with ease. When people connected to Ingrid's life start dying unexplained deaths, she think he is to blame, but that would be too easy. Ingrid investigates the deaths and finds it hard to know whom she can trust. Casey does a good job of slowly revealing clues to the answers Ingrid seeks.

This was a slow burn for me, but I actually ended up really liking the book.

Ingrid Lewis is a barrister who thinks she's been stalked by a former client who has spent the past few years stalking her and causing her to lose everything from relationships to jobs. Now, one of her coworkers got run over by a car, and Ingrid believes the attack was meant for her and not her friend. Ingrid is in danger, but John Webster insists he's not the one terrorizing her. All Ingrid knows is that the threats are getting too close.

I actually enjoyed the plot of this book and found it engaging. At first, I thought that many of the details in the first few chapters could have been skipped completely, but some of them become important as the story unfolds. The plot is told from alternate timelines. The first one focuses on Ingrid's efforts to keep John Webster out of jail from a stalking charge while the current timeline explores Ingrid's life after her coworker's accident.

The story escalates every time a development is introduced in the plot, and while the pace is slow at first, it becomes more and more engaging. I found the book truly fascinating in the end.

One of the best stalker books I’ve ever read, so scary! Ingrid defends John Webster and wins the case that allows him freedom after being accused of stalking and “breaking” a poor woman with alleged mental problems. Unfortunately, Ingrid becomes his next victim. But there are other sinister characters at work and John may be her only hope or is he the one to be afraid of? This story is so well written starting with startling action in the beginning and lots of twists and turns along the way. I did feel like it got a little long in the middle but would definitely read this author again. Thank you Netgalley, Harper 360 and the author for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Wonderful thriller that will keep you on your toes throughout the whole book. I was riveted from start to finish with this one.
