The Killing Kind is a gripping psychological thriller packed full of suspense. I didn’t know who to trust - even the main character, a barrister, is pretty unreliable. It’s hard to put a finger on who the bad guys are: it’s not black and white, but shades of grey. So this is a book that will keep you guessing from start to finish.

It’s always interesting when the character you’re not supposed to like (in this case it’s John Webster, a stalker amongst other things) is more likeable than Ingrid, the main character. And the police don’t seem to be much better.

I really enjoyed this - it’s the second Jane Casey book I’ve read, and I doubt it’ll be the last. If you like psychological thrillers, you’ll love this!

Many thanks to The Pigeonhole for serialising this 😊

Gone With The Wind: The Cold Wind Belows
The Wind- is a excellent psychological horror that has suspense, thrills and drama and its set in late nineteenth-century on the American frontier. Its a supernatural western film and its excellent.

The plot: Lizzy is a tough, resourceful frontierswoman settling a remote stretch of land on the 19th-century American frontier. Isolated from civilization in a desolate wilderness where the wind never stops howling, she begins to sense a sinister presence that seems to be borne of the land itself, an overwhelming dread that her husband dismisses as superstition. When a newlywed couple arrive at a nearby homestead, their presence amplifies Lizzy's fears, setting into motion a shocking chain of events.

The suspense, the thrills, the psychological, the supernatural and the horror are all excellent. I highly recordmend watching this film.

Page turner
This is a page turner, that gripped me from start to finish. It is a very psychological book that will keep you on your toes. The writing was very good and the main character is fascinating. The plot is one of the most original that I have ever read.

Flimsy story, almost comedic
While this story was extremely engaging for its genre and content, it started off with the mystery of a psychological thriller and ended up becoming like a 1970's hammer horror. It couldn't hold itself in the end and the description of the "thing" reminded me of a Sam Raimi style boring gorefest. A bit of a disappointment after 14 hours of listening.

Atmospheric Masterpiece
A spooky psychological suspense/horror film that will draw you in and get under your skin. Set in the famously huge Danvers asylum, which has been closed for years, we start with a 5-guy asbestos clean-up crew charged with making the building safe for renovations. We end with...something else. Just watch! And probably rewatch because it begs for it.
