Publisher's summary

He is watching her....

Alex Parkinson is in love with his writing tutor, Siobhan. He has never loved anyone like this, but how can he convince Siobhan that they are meant to be together? So Alex stalks her on Facebook and finds out where she lives, buys her presents using her own credit card and sends her messages telling her exactly what he wants to do to her. He breaks into her house, reads her diary and secretly listens to her while she takes a bath. Isn't that what all lovers do?

But when a love rival appears on the scene, Alex has to take drastic action, and soon a young woman lies dead after tumbling from the roof of her house. Now there is no one standing in the way of Alex and his true love. But someone is watching Alex, too, and he is about to discover that there is a thin line between love - and hate.

Critic reviews

"I was gripped all the way - the ending is terrific." (Peter James)
"A very clever, very pacy story that kept me guessing right to the end." (Elizabeth Haynes)
"An ingenious tale of stalking and its twisted repercussions. Took me in a very different direction from the one I'd been expecting." (Alex Marwood)

Whoa!

These two authors are just amazing! So creative and interesting. This book had my immediate interest from page 1.

Wow

I hardly ever write reviews. This book definitely took a turn I was not expecting. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Perfection!

I absolutely love a well written book. This one does not disappoint!

I will be careful not to give any spoilers! What I will tell you is this is definitely a real page turner. The characters are believable and well thought out. The story moves along at a good clip and does not falter. The storyline is solid and the book does not disappoint!! I was not expecting the ending and will now go purchase more from these great authors!!
Enjoy!!

Alex & Siobhan

Killing Cupid is more then a thriller its literary art on a 2017 modern day ROMEO & JULIET Steelo.
If this aint estranged love I dont know what is?
Alex has it bad for Siobhan.
Siobhan has it bad for Siobhan? This was magnificently written and proformed. Well Worth the credit and highly recommend.

Love conquers all

Wonderful story, full of twists and turns! Who knew they would finally connect in the end.

Performance was good

I don't really know what to say here... this was ok. Nothing grand and honestly it was a bit boring. if I had known the ending going in, I would have never purchased it. I can't say it was bad but I can't say it was good. More like an... "ehh" mind of feeling. I did enjoy the narration a lot. I lived their Bristich accents.

if u are not already a fan of this dynamic duo...

Try another (perhaps one of the detective series books) first. Applicable to this book only, it is an acquired taste - I have read Abt 98% of Edward's novels maybe 65% of Bosses, and I was fading fast until after the Midway point (as I found the main and supporting characters miserable and pitiable, in ever changing ways and amounts) however after Midway point Shioban's character provided me with at least half a dozen spontaneous "laugh out loud" moments which were enthusiastic enough to elicit not so covert glances from wary strangers as I listened to this book via small Bluetooth earbuds while out on a series of walks. in this tragic time of a Nationwide pandemic my laugh out loud experience s are precious and few, so I raised my rating to a solid 3 stars, a good listen for true fans with odd sense of humor who are in need of a good belly laugh (or two, or three..or...)

lots of unanswered

This was interesting and held my interest enough to steadily get through it. However, there was a lot of hinting at things in the main character's past that kept coming up so I thought they would be eventually be relevant, but they never did and was no clarification. Had the story addressed them, there would've been opportunity for more twists and character development. Felt a little lazy and disconnected toward the halfway point and ended that way.

Peculiar,.. Pervy,... waste of $$$

I’m getting my money back on this stinker... I regret the time wasted on the read and review.

Awful people and unbelievable story

I've not read a book with such terrible, despicable characters in a long time. I probably would have been ok with their awfulness as human beings if the situations they found themselves in and their reactions were in anyway believable but they weren't. My ability to suspend disbelief quit well before the halfway mark.

On the positive side, the narrators did a great job.
