Killing Kate follows, predictably, Kate! On holiday with the girls trying to escape a break-up with long term ex, Phil. She returns home to news that the murder of a woman who bore resemblance to Kate, has now become the case of a serial killer and his next victim looked much the same.
Kate is understandably, unnerved and begins to feel that she is being watched and contemplates that she could. perhaps, be next.
But who could be the culprit? Desperate ex Phil who literally, will not leave her alone. Whatever the male equivalent of a bunny boiler is, Phil becomes that. Or is it her harmless work flirtation, who seems to know a great deal about the ins and outs of the murders?
Meanwhile we get flashback chapters, the friendship group of three, actually used to have four, until Beth was driven away by a traumatic set of events.
I got this book completely wrong, my money was on the wrong culprit and I could never have imagined the way the end unfolded. My only problem was really that whilst I loved the first half of the book, I hated the second half, I felt that careful Kate became reckless despite the serial killer ramping up his murder toll and although it was a good twist, I wasn't a huge fan.
It was a two star for me, but I think that's probably personal preference.
