About this title

Review:

I loved it! A brilliantly original premise, delivered with panache. Author: Clare Mackintosh, author of I See You

Has 'movie adaptation' written all over it. It has an alluring location, a fragile yet resilient protagonist and a thoroughly Hitchcockian storyline, replete with the requisite false starts and plot twists. High tension, lightning-fast pacing and psychological drama in spades. Source: BookPage

Peter Swanson's third thriller cracks to life in the opening pages. His characters are engaging, and the reader is treated to multiple points of view... The payoff for the reader is an excellent whodunit with a magical appeal for the mystery thriller lover. Source: Seattle Book Review

A compelling tale of murder and deception that keeps the reader turning pages. Kate is a sympathetic heroine who has seen too much, but rises above it. Source: Authorlink.com

The skillfully conjured Boston winter creates the perfect atmosphere for breeding paranoia, which kicks into high gear with the introduction of Cherney's Rear Window-like flashbacks. Swanson . introduces a delicious monster-under-the-bed creepiness to the expected top-notch characterization and steadily mounting anxiety. Source: Booklist, starred review

Psychological thriller devotees should block time to read Swanson's (The Kind Worth Killing) novel in one sitting, preferably in the daylight. Readers can expect the hairs on their necks to stand straight up as they are consumed with a full-blown case of heebie-jeebies. Source: Library Journal, starred review

I read a lot of mysteries, and Peter Swanson's The Kind Worth Killing was one of my absolute favorites of the last several years. This new book doesn't quite hit that mark, but it's still a cracking good read. There is a heroine with a well-earned case of anxiety, newly arrived in a drafty Boston apartment. There is a neighbor's cat wandering in and out of this apartment, sometimes when the protagonist is sure, just sure the front door was closed and locked. Oh, and there is also the discovery of a body in another apartment across the hall. Her Every Fear has atmosphere and tension to spare. Author: Shannon Rhoades Source: NPR Best Books 2017
