Rezensionen
"An ingenious twist on a noir classic, about the hell that awaits co-conspirators Wendy and Thom after they become a 'happy' married couple. Swanson's decision to move swiftly backward in time over 40-plus years is surprisingly suspenseful. I raced through the pages, anxious to learn the couple's last deadly secret -- and I was not disappointed." - Laura Lippman, New York Times bestselling author of Prom Mom

"A feat of structural magnificence-- the instant I turned the final page, I flipped straight back to the start to put it all together again. Exhilarating and exceptionally clever, Kill Your Darlings zings with a singular sense of tension. Peter Swanson writes with the lyrical acuity of a literary master." - Danya Kukafka, nationally bestselling author of Notes on an Execution

"Engagingly original... Swanson has a bent for revenge and murder." - USA Today on Eight Perfect Murders

"The inventive Mr. Swanson never lets the willing reader down." - Wall Street Journal on The Kind Worth Saving

"[It] 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." - BookPage on Her Every Fear

"Swanson unfolds this creepy story with the assurance and economy of a master." - Wall Street Journal on Before She Knew Him

"A taut thriller with a mounting body count and a final twist so ruthlessly clever it's criminal." - Entertainment Weekly on The Kind Worth Killing
