A Reason to Kill

De: Eric A. Shelman

Narrado por: Eric A. Shelman

Frank Swanson is a serial killer.

His entire life he has moved from place to place, never putting his roots down in any one town too long. He has studied his craft, and he has reasons and justifications for who he is and what he does. But one quiet night as Frank disposes of a body, his world changes forever.

In a rural Texas town on the banks of a river, Olivia Rainey becomes Frank's first witness over his long career of killing. Strikingly beautiful, but with dark secrets and longings of her own, she sends his world into a tailspin with her mysteriously self-destructive actions. Could it be that Olivia has a plan that even Frank can't unravel?

In this case what Frank Swanson doesn't know just might kill him.

A Reason to Kill is a psychological thriller that will whip you lightning-fast down a dark road from which there is no return. Fasten your seat belt, and sit low in the seat - just in case.

Thriller with Really Warped Characters...

Any additional comments?

This book is certainly thrilling! It is author narrated and I must say I think he did a fine job. I often think (as long as the author has a nice voice) that more authors should narrate their own work, then the book is not left to someone else's interpretation.
This is the story of Frank Swanson and Olivia Rainey. Unfortunately neither the protagonist or antagonist is a likable character. This however does not take away from the book. Frank is a serial killer of primarily abusive men. He began killing when he was just 12 yrs old. At that time he killed his abusive stepfather while he was raping his sister. Years later he finds this is his calling.
Olivia is a widow of a serial killer who was executed by the state for his crimes.
Frank and Olivia meet and as the story unfolds you learn that neither is who they seem to be.
The ending is a shocker (if a little gruesome), but it demonstrates the saying "what goes around comes around ".
This is good light listening, recommended.
If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You.

Thrilling

his audio book keeps you very interested. The end is unexpected. I really loved this book!

read by author

who better to read the story than the author who knows the characters so well.

an excellent thriller. it had me glued to it in anticipation.

Holy Cow

What can I say about this one. Twists and turns until the end. You will not see some of the things coming in this one. This killer has a back story and you can see where things turn for him and reading through the book at times you have sympathy for him but he is quickly able to drown that out. This book will keep you reading nonstop as you won't be able to believe how it unfolds.

Dark, unique serial killer novel!

This book was very unique. The storyline almost reads like true crime. Frank Swanson is a killer whose path was chosen when he was very young. When he meets Olivia, things really begin to change for him I did not see the end of this book coming. It was a great twist and I highly recommend this book.
