Publisher's summary

Sean Tennant and Molly Winter are living quietly and cautiously in Houston when a troubled, obsessive stranger shatters the safety they have carefully constructed for themselves. Sean is at a shopping mall when Henry Alan Keen, scorned by a woman he's been dating, pulls out a gun at the store where she works and begins shooting everyone in sight. A former soldier, Sean rushes toward Keen and ends the slaughter with two well-placed shots - becoming a hero with his face plastered across the news.

But Sean's newfound notoriety exposes him to the wrath of two men he thought he had left safely in his past. One of them blames Sean for his brother's death. The other wants to recover a treasure that Sean and Molly stole from him. Both men are deadly and relentless enemies, and Sean and Molly will need to draw on all their strength and devotion to each other if they hope to elude them. Thus begins a cross-country chase that leads from Texas to Montana, from Tennessee to New York to Michigan, as the hunters and their prey grow ever closer and, in a heart-stopping moment, converge.

A wickedly clever and exhilarating thriller, The Good Killer offers a sophisticated, breathtaking look at the extremes people will reach for love, greed, and survival.

Great book!

This was a great book and very poignant at the end, I will read his other books now. Great author.

Great read.

Story line kept me awake for the entire book. Good job by the reader and author both.

Really good!

I enjoyed this story a lot. The narrator was excellent too. Believable story, told well.

Runs out of gas before it's over

I enjoyed about 75% of this thriller that begins with a man shooting strangers in a mall. Unfortunately, I somehow lost interest in the story and the characters before the book ended. There were a lot of characters, but none were sufficiently developed for me to care what happened to them. I found the ending especially weak.

Slow to start, but it gets real, real good.

This was a great story. It was a little bit slow in the start, but once it got going, it was a thrill.

Great!

Grabs you from the beginning. Very good! First time exposure to this author. I look forward to any of his other books. Highly recommend!

Review of Audible book The Good Killer.

Very good story. I couldn’t put it down. Finished in 3days. Would recommend good to listen too.

Disappointed

I bought this book based on positive reviews. At best it is average. Not great and not terrible. Mostly, by the time I was 80% into it I realized that I didn't care at all about the way the book ended. Although the author did develop the characters, I didn't care about any of them. The story was not interesting. Sometimes a narrator can really punch up a story, but not this time.

3.8

Barely a 4. Easy to listen to, some interesting quirks, but nothing really new or different here. A solid crime novel.

Lots of characters

Listening to this in audible was challenging for me as there were many characters. Too many to keep track of in my head, but I pushed thru and finished it and enjoyed it.
