Without ruining it, the finish could have been alot better
The attempt at comedy
Could have been alot better
Maybe this would have been alot better without Emma watson, we will never find out. But in my opinion, it says alot when karen Gillan was by far the better actress and sadly had half the screen time compared with Watson.
As per normal, Hanks was brilliant in his role and what made it even better was you get to see his darker side.
Overall, as a thriller, theres a crushing lack of suspense.
The idea was brilliant, the film was not. I had high hopes when watching but ended somewhat disappointed.

Loved the book it it kept me hooked for the entirety.

I loved the way you saw the story from everyone's point of view. Each chapter opened a new door on the memories that Rachel couldn't quite remember, even if the chapter wasn't hers.

Throughout you hope that things didn't end the way they do.

The only bad bit I found was the ending due to the suspense throughout once you worked out the killer it had a bit of a drag. It also had such a dull end which is a shame as a whole the book is fantastic and kept me gripped. This is my personal opinion on the ending as I have spoken to others who loved it so maybe it's like marmite: you either love it or hate it.

Still minus the end it's a five star thriller.

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 😊
