Book Review : The Killing Type by Jane Corry

The Killing Type by Jane Corry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars






Oh what a tangled web we weave,when we first practice to deceive. And deception is most definitely the name of the game in this twisty,gripping short story of lies,manipulation,murder and secrets with a added dash of poetic justice.

Susie and her sister Danielle have never been very close and are now barely on speaking terms. So when Susie receives a message out of the blue from her sister begging to meet. Susie knows something must be wrong.

Susie is shocked when Danielle informs her that she is terrified of her husband Simon and believes that he is trying to kill her. Susie doesn't believe Danielle who has a history of lying and being over dramatic. Susie knows that Simon is a bit of a bully but surely he wouldn't hurt Danielle?

But then the accident happens,the sisters circumstances change and Susie finds herself caught in a situation that forces her to rethink everything.

Who is lying?

Who is telling the truth?

And who,really,is the killing type?

What crime - and let's be honest here - are you capable of?

This riveting,short story is told in short,snappy chapters that alternate between Susie and Danielle and jump quite quickly through time. There is also a chapter that covers a traumatic event from the sister's past. Being a very short story,the reader isn't given much time to build a connection with either of the two sisters. But I can honestly say that I liked one sister a lot more than I liked her manipulative sibling.

I really enjoyed this compelling short story that had me hooked in from the very first page. I think this would have been a really enjoyable,twist packed,full length novel. Highly recommended but far too short.
