    INTENSE!
  

*by L***W on Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2024*

A newlywed librarian begins to suspect the man she married might be a murderer—in this spectacularly twisty and deviously clever novel by Peter Swanson, New York Times bestselling author of The Kind Worth Killing and Eight Perfect Murders.Martha Ratliff conceded long ago that she’d likely spend her life alone. She was fine with it, happy with her solo existence, stimulated by her work as a librarian in Maine. But then she met Alan, a charming and sweet-natured salesman whose job took him on the road for half the year. When he asked her to marry him, she said yes, even though he still felt a little bit like a stranger.A year in and the marriage was good, except for that strange blood streak on the back of one of his shirts he’d worn to a conference in Denver. Her curiosity turning to suspicion, Martha investigates the cities Alan visited over the past year and uncovers a disturbing pattern—five unsolved cases of murdered women.Is she married to a serial killer? Or could it merely be a coincidence? Unsure what to think, Martha contacts an old friend from graduate school for advice. Lily Kintner once helped Martha out of a jam with an abusive boyfriend and may have some insight. Intrigued, Lily offers to meet Alan to find out what kind of man he really is . . .but what Lily uncovers is more perplexing and wicked than they ever could have expected.My Thoughts:From the very beginning of A Talent for Murder, the reader is drawn into an intriguing and chilling series of events. Deaths that suggest a serial killer, with clues that hint at something troubling about Martha Ratliff’s new husband Alan.Reaching out to an old friend from graduate school, Lily, the two of them begin to see a troubling pattern. Are the events coincidental, or is there more at stake?Meanwhile, another person from the past is on the horizon, and researching his whereabouts might just take the two old friends to other scenarios.By the end, we are all biting our nails and hoping for different answers.5 stars.***

    a good murder/mystery!
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2024*

My first time reading Peter Swanson- very good mystery! This is a twist, we find out in the first few pages who the murderer is and their motive.  Then we have multiple POV from others and we root for them as they figure it out.  I enjoyed that I didn't have to play detective but instead play cheerleader.  It was a fun, fast, easy beach read.  If you like murder mysteries, I think you would like it!

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Absurd plot, unlikable characters
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2024*

Would have given this banal “twister” two stars for dopey plotting, but the writing is decent. Not sure why reviewers were so enthusiastic.
