Kill for You Kill for Me by Steve Cavanagh

As ever, Steve Cavanagh’s books grab you with the tag line and don’t let go!

Amanda is a woman in pain. Her husband and daughter have died and she is alone trying to come to terms with her losses. She meets Wendy who she finds she has lots in common with, and an idea of formed. Inspired by Strangers on a Train, they plan to kill each others enemies. Sounds simple right? Well very wrong actually….

There is so little I can say about the plot of this that will not be a spoiler so I will be careful! It’s the kind of book I’m desperate for all my friends to read just so I can discuss the plot with them!

Early on I thought I saw a twist coming, just a page or 2 before it happened. I was so pleased with myself for predicting it. I should have known – this was the first baby twist and was absolutely nothing compared with the roller coaster that was to come! And the ending…. it made me gasp out loud!

All the characters were flawed in their own ways, and although some of their choices are hard to understand, the story guides you to some level of understanding. Desperate people do desperate things.

I haven’t read all of Steve Cavanagh’s books yet, and the ones I have left have raced up my TBR after this.
