The Kind Worth Killing

如果有一個機會，讓背叛你的人付出最高代價， 你卻可以不牽涉其中，全身而退…… 你，願意嘗試嗎？ 人都不免一死。 如果在神設定好的大限來到以前，先壓扁幾顆爛蘋果，有什麼關係？ 殺了只會利用人、糟蹋人、濫用他人善意的傢伙，不是為世間除害嗎？ 從倫敦飛往波士頓的深夜航班登機前，泰德遇到了神祕的百合，兩人品嚐著馬丁尼，玩起「真心話」的遊戲。 真心話總是危險的。 泰德說起自己婚姻的裂痕，講到妻子米蘭妲的外遇，憤憤難平。他們倆本就不相配，泰德太有錢，米蘭妲太奔放，一點點火花燒起的熱情，走到如今像是陳腔爛調的肥皂劇。 當泰德講到米蘭妲所作所為真是該死的時候，遊戲開始失控，因為百合的反應不是驚訝、勸誡、安撫，而是不疾不徐地說：「我可以幫忙，畢竟有些人就是該死，尤其那些欺騙、糟蹋伴侶真心的人。」 飛機落地，決心殺死妻子的泰德與百合已變得像熟識已久、可以託付性命的戰友。只不過百合少說了幾件往事，那些從她很小很小的時候開始，跟她密切相關的謀殺。 這對共謀犯在一連串計畫內與計畫外的事件中，展開了貓捉老鼠的冒險。不過，精密算計的可不只一組人馬，，交叉變化讓一切更加詭譎而出人意料…… 不可思議的逆轉情節！四名捉對廝殺、心計百出的男女，猜猜看，誰能活到下一頁？ 本書中文書介出自<<有些人就是該死>> 圓神出版THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLERA RICHARD & JUDY BOOK CLUB CHOICEBEST THRILLER, iBOOKS BEST OF 2015SHORTLISTED FOR THE IAN FLEMING SILVER DAGGER, 2015SUNDAY TIMES, TATLER, GOOD HOUSEKEEPING AND GOLDSBORO BOOK OF THE MONTH'Extremely hard to put down!'
