 The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson (Goodreads Author) 4.01 of 5 stars 4.01 · rating details · 8,592 ratings · 1,476 reviews 23 A devious tale of psychological suspense involving sex, deception, and an accidental encounter that leads to murder. This is a modern re-imagining of Patricia Highsmithâ™s classic Strangers on a Train from the author of the acclaimed The Girl with a Clock for a Heart. On a night flight from London to Boston, Ted Severson meets the mysterious Lily Kintner. Sharing one too many martinis, the strangers begin to play a game of truth, revealing intimate details about themselves. Ted talks about his marriage and his wife Miranda, who heâ™s sure is cheating on him. But their game turns dark when Ted jokes that he could kill Miranda for what sheâ™s done. Lily, without missing a beat, says calmly, “Iâ™d like to help.” From there, Ted and Lilyâ™s twisted bond grows stronger as they plot Miranda's demise, but soon these co-conspirators are embroiled in a game of cat-and-mouse--one they both cannot survive--with a shrewd and very determined detective on their tail.  Peter Swanson is the author of two novels, The Girl with a Clock for a Heart, and The Kind Worth Killing, available from William Morrow in the United States and Faber & Faber in the United Kingdom. His poems, stories and reviews have appeared in such journals as The Atlantic, Asimovâ™s Science Fiction, Epoch, Measure, Notre Dame Review, Soundings East, and The Vocabula Review. He has won awards in poetry from The Lyric and Yankee Magazine, and is currently completing a sonnet sequence on all 53 of Alfred Hitchcockâ™s films. He lives with his wife and cat in Somerville, Massachusetts.
