Killing Kate

By: Alex Lake

Narrated by: Genevieve Swallow

From the Sunday Times top ten bestselling author of Seven Days and The Choice comes a gripping serial killer thriller with a psychological edge you won’t want to put down!

A serial killer is stalking your home town.

He has a type: all his victims look the same.

And they all look like you.

Kate returns from a post break-up holiday with her girlfriends to news of a serial killer in her home town – and his victims all look like her.

It could, of course, be a simple coincidence.

Or maybe not.

She becomes convinced she is being watched, followed even. Is she next? And could her mild-mannered ex-boyfriend really be a deranged murderer?

Or is the truth something far more sinister?

Once you start reading, you won’t be able to stop!

Good story and climax

I really liked the build up of this story. There are points of view from the present and the past and while I figured out the truth fairly early, I still thoroughly enjoyed how it was revealed as well as the aftermath. A good thriller and story in my opinion.

A must read...

Starts out slow, but then grabs you to the end. I highly recommend this book and the audio too!

Waaaay too long but good story!

This author drags his novels out way too long. He spends hours and hours boring us to death until finally the story gets good. The thing is that then it’s really good so if you’re willing to wait five or six hours you’ll probably enjoy this book.

THOMAS in FL. Gives this 5 feathers 👍❤️

A tremendous read, incredible mystery/thriller, always kept me on the edge, guessing. And to narrator Genevieve swallow, your Voice is so addictive, I could never stopped listening to you.🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧

Decent suspense thriller makes the mark

Killing Kate is about a 28 year old lawyer who has just broken up with her boyfriend. The boyfriend is taking pretty hard, but Kate is ready to move on. She meets a man who has the ability to draw her in, and things seem good until a recent string of grisly murders in her own backyard threatens girls her age- who look a lot like Kate. In a race against time, Kate needs to protect herself from danger and doesn't know who she can trust anymore.
This book started out a little trite but gradually hooked me. The storyline became more sophisticated and the characters well drawn out. Kate does not come off as too naive or trusting- you can identify with her situation and see that she makes educated decisions that sometimes just bring her closer to danger. I enjoyed seeing the close friendships between Kate and her long-standing group of friends who have her back. The suspense started to build pretty quick until I was holding my breath at the end to see whether the killer would be caught in time to save Kate! The narration was great and overall, while this book may not be a heavy-hitter, it was well written and enjoyable, and I would recommend it as an easy-to-read page turner!
