The Kind Worth Killing

Peter Swanson is the author of novels The Girl With a Clock For a Heart and The Kind Worth Killing. His books have been translated into 30 languages, and his stories, poetry, and features have appeared in Asimov’s Science Fiction, The Atlantic Monthly, Measure, and Yankee Magazine. Swanson’s The Kind Worth Killing is a dark psychological thriller that many readers have compared to Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. In this novel, During a delay at Heathrow, wealthy Boston businessman Ted Severson shares drinks with fellow American Lily Kintner, an archivist at a small Massachusetts college. One thing leads to another, but instead of sleeping together, the two confess their deepest secrets: Ted wants to kill his two-timing wife, Miranda, and Lily wants to help him. In case the Patricia Highsmith connection isn’t blatant enough, Swanson shows Lily reading The Two Faces of January, “not one of her best”, in the airport. While the title implies that Ted’s enemies are the kind worth killing, the reader almost immediately decides it’s the cold, heartless protagonists who should ultimately get the axe. Miranda is indeed cheating on Ted with Brad Daggett, the handsome and dim contractor who’s building the couple’s extravagant Maine vacation home, yet it’s hard to feel sorry for a man who tells a complete stranger that he fantasizes about killing his spouse, let alone a woman who openly encourages such behaviour… You can listen online to free English audiobook “The Kind Worth Killing” by Peter Swanson on our website.
