Amanda White is grieving the loss of her child and husband. Her young daughter was abducted and murdered, feeling responsible her husband committed suicide. Although the police are convinced they know who is responsible, there is insufficient evidence to convict. Amanda is determined to kill the man responsible but is unable to get close enough to him. At a support group for the bereaved, she meets another mother who offers to carry out the murder if Amanda will do the same for her.
Fans of Steve Cavanagh's Eddie Flynn series will know that the author produces gripping, easily read thrillers full of twists; his last book in the series, The Accomplice is a perfect example of this. Knowing this you have a pretty good idea of what to expect from a standalone thriller and Kill For Me Kill For You ticks all the boxes - and more.
The author doesn't shy away from gritty descriptions, however, I felt that the tone of this novel was a lot darker than usual. Some of the details are quite graphic, but it's the mental anguish we learn about that makes this a more somber outing.
There are twists galore. Steve Cavanagh is masterful in the way these are delivered. Just when you think you've figured out what is happening, he delivers another. The pace at which twists appear leaves you reeling and you feel as if you are strapped to a roller-coaster. I really don't want to add much more as that would be edging into spoiler territory. Just know, if you enjoy twisty thrillers then this is the book for you.
