To his surprise, Lily doesn't flinch. She calmly agrees that some people simply deserve to die, and offers to help him do it.\n\nWhat starts as an abstract game between two strangers becomes a meticulous plan, and then something far more dangerous. Because Lily is not a bored socialite indulging a fantasy. She has killed before, she has her own reasons for everything she does, and the tidy scheme she and Ted are building has more moving parts — and more hidden players — than either of them will admit.\n\nA modern homage to Patricia Highsmith, Peter Swanson's The Kind Worth Killing is a coiled psychological thriller told through shifting, unreliable points of view. Every chapter recalibrates who is manipulating whom, building toward a game of murder in which trusting the wrong person is the only truly fatal mistake.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjhddwa1yebkm9bhnc9tck.jpg","LH9aT,_L?t%L_M?v.7xtOukso$s:",2015,"3.86",320,[862],{"id":863,"slug":864,"name":865},"01kkfjhddrz67f4y79e301r8ey","peter-swanson-tbik","Peter Swanson",[867,868,869,870,871,872],{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":20},{"id":221,"name":222,"slug":223,"is_fiction":20},{"id":269,"name":270,"slug":271,"is_fiction":20},{"id":873,"name":874,"slug":875,"is_fiction":20},210,"Noir","noir",[877],{"id":878,"slug":879,"name":880,"position":198,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kkfjhdfa77fzhmx6sgxzkza2","henry-kimballlily-kintner-zm8g","Henry Kimball\u002FLily Kintner",{"pace":79,"complexity":7,"audience":82,"mood":882,"themes":883,"setting_period":7,"summary":885,"content_warnings":7},[85,84,139,86],[884,90,278,355,231],"unreliable-narrator","A chance airport-bar meeting turns lethal when Ted confesses he'd like his cheating wife dead — and the poised stranger beside him, Lily, offers to help.

Millie’s employer, Nina Winchester, is erratic and increasingly cruel, leaving impossible demands and cleaning up messes that make no sense, while Nina’s charming husband, Andrew, treats Millie with a warmth that feels like a lifeline. As Millie tries to keep her head down and her past hidden, she realizes the household’s polished surface conceals something far more dangerous, and that the question of who holds the power here is not as settled as it looks.

A celebrated painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house overlooking a park in one of London's most desirable neighbourhoods. Then, one evening, her husband Gabriel returns home late and Alicia shoots him five times in the face — and from that moment never speaks another word.\n\nHer refusal to explain, or even to talk, turns a domestic tragedy into a public sensation and hardens into an unsolvable mystery. Alicia is confined to the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London, where she paints and stays silent. Theo Faber, a criminal psychotherapist who has been fascinated by her case for years, engineers a job at the unit and sets out to reach her, convinced that if he can only get Alicia to speak, he can uncover the truth of that night.\n\nTold through Theo's obsessive investigation and Alicia's own private diary, Alex Michaelides's debut is a tautly plotted psychological thriller that draws on Greek tragedy and builds to one of the genre's most talked-about twists.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksxn51w268j0at5kteg1gx1n.jpg","LXPPZCI:InRi_4xaV?V@S$ozahj[",2019,19,338,[1047],{"id":1048,"slug":1049,"name":1050},"01kjq77dyksetajsedf6dp3qqw","alex-michaelides-vigb","Alex Michaelides",[1052,1053,1054,1055,1056],{"id":221,"name":222,"slug":223,"is_fiction":20},{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":20},{"id":269,"name":270,"slug":271,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":79,"complexity":7,"audience":82,"mood":1059,"themes":1060,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[85,139,84],[884],{"id":1062,"slug":1063,"title":1064,"description":1065,"primary_cover_url":1066,"cover_blurhash":1067,"first_publish_year":1043,"community_rating_avg":1068,"community_rating_count":1044,"page_count":1069,"authors":1070,"genres":1075,"series":1085,"enrichment":1089},"01kjq708p23t2ry31w7hm60a9b","a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-cdxc","A Good Girl's Guide to Murder","Five years ago, Andie Bell was murdered in the quiet town of Little Kilton. Everyone knows the story: her boyfriend, Sal Singh, killed her and then took his own life. The case is closed. But Pippa Fitz-Amobi has never quite believed it. When she chooses the murder as the subject of her senior capstone project, she tells herself she is only reopening old questions for a school assignment.\n\nThe deeper Pip digs, the less the official version holds together. With the help of Ravi Singh, Sal's younger brother, who has spent years living under the weight of his brother's supposed guilt, she starts tracing the last hours of Andie's life through interviews, old messages, and secrets the town would rather keep buried. Someone notices. As anonymous threats begin to arrive, it becomes clear that the truth is still dangerous, and that the real killer may be much closer than anyone imagined.\n\nTold through Pip's project log, transcripts, and maps alongside the narrative, Holly Jackson's debut is a tightly plotted whodunit that helped define a wave of modern young-adult crime fiction. It is a story about the cost of certainty, the pull of an unsolved case, and how far an ordinary teenager will go to be sure she has found the truth.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6w5vgmqycxdp0ef1n13tz.jpg","L29GR9xG0etRnis:aKR*2@Sf~Cw{","4.50",416,[1071],{"id":1072,"slug":1073,"name":1074},"01kjq708qaq6gwrvex7vbawj8b","holly-jackson-sfps","Holly Jackson",[1076,1077,1078,1079,1080,1081],{"id":221,"name":222,"slug":223,"is_fiction":20},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":20},{"id":341,"name":342,"slug":343,"is_fiction":20},{"id":1082,"name":1083,"slug":1084,"is_fiction":20},17,"Children's Books","childrens",[1086],{"id":1087,"slug":1088,"name":1064,"position":198,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq708tq2w4nycb8n6dgczx3","a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-m9hd",{"pace":79,"complexity":7,"audience":352,"mood":1090,"themes":1091,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[139,84,85],[],{"id":1093,"slug":1094,"title":1095,"description":1096,"primary_cover_url":1097,"cover_blurhash":1098,"first_publish_year":150,"community_rating_avg":1099,"community_rating_count":1100,"page_count":1101,"authors":1102,"genres":1104,"series":1111,"enrichment":1112},"01kjq80kf9938jetgptddrgx9j","verity-oqqr","Verity","Struggling author Lowen Ashby accepts an assignment: travel to the home of bestselling thriller writer Verity Crawford, incapacitated after an accident, and ghostwrite the remaining books in Verity's series.

As Lowen and Jeremy grow closer, she must decide what to do with what she has read — and whether the woman in the wheelchair is as helpless as she appears.

There are signs of a struggle in the living room, and as the hours pass with no word, the police and a ravenous national media begin to circle. Nick, evasive and strangely composed under the cameras, quickly becomes the prime suspect in his wife's disappearance.\n\nGillian Flynn tells the story in two alternating voices. Nick narrates the investigation from the present as suspicion tightens around him, while Amy's diary traces the couple's courtship and the slow souring of their marriage. The two accounts refuse to line up, and the widening gap between them keeps the reader guessing about who is lying, who is telling the truth, and what really happened on the anniversary.\n\nBeneath the missing-person case, Gone Girl is a caustic anatomy of a modern marriage and the performances it demands. Flynn dissects the roles spouses play for each other and for the outside world, the machinery of a media spectacle, and the resentments that accumulate when two clever, image-conscious people stop being honest with each other. Sharp, cynical, and ruthlessly plotted around a pair of unreliable narrators, it became one of the defining psychological thrillers of its era.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ktkx3dk6k3s6syphedc5mc2x.jpg?v=2f60cfe167","L35;,O~p%#-:MxIUM{Rj029GMxIV",2012,"4.02",486,[1126],{"id":1127,"slug":1128,"name":1129},"01kjq7te064746m1ayvtbsbyh4","gillian-flynn-liux","Gillian Flynn",[1131,1132,1133,1134,1135,1136],{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":20},{"id":221,"name":222,"slug":223,"is_fiction":20},{"id":269,"name":270,"slug":271,"is_fiction":20},{"id":448,"name":449,"slug":450,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":79,"complexity":7,"audience":82,"mood":1139,"themes":1140,"setting_period":7,"summary":1141,"content_warnings":7},[85,84],[884,462],"On their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne's wife, Amy, vanishes, leaving behind a trail of clues that suggest a struggle.
