Podcasts about kind worth killing

I knew I wanted to interview Peter because one, The Kind Worth Killing is one of my all time favorite thrillers and two, he is a North Shore guy and well that takes the cake! Peter was such a fun interview. We chatted thrillers, Boston, his inspiration and so much more. A Talent for Murder is his latest thriller and continues with story of Lily Kitner, one of my fave characters, but can also be read as a stand alone.

In Episode 163, Sara Hildreth, from @FictionMatters and co-host of the podcast Novel Pairings, returns for her third appearance on our show as our expert for Classics & Retellings 101. Sara guides us through the sometimes intimidating world of timeless reads in an accessible way. She busted some myths about classics and changed my mind about some elements of the classics. And, she has a great approach to find the perfect retelling of your favorite classics for your next read.  This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). CLICK HERE for the full episode Show Notes on the blog. Highlights Sara explores the definitions of a classic and a modern classic book. We talk about separating the American literature canon from the idea of a classic. Sara talks about being free to define classics on personal terms. The idea of a book being labeled a “future classic.” Now-famous books that went unnoticed initially when they were released. Sara's personal reading motivations. Common issues people have when trying to tackle classic books. Notable quirks of many classics that were first published as serials. Tips and advice for approaching older books. Addressing the pressure surrounding reading or revisiting classics. Examples of nonfiction classics. Legal considerations for all those retellings. The rise of retellings as a trend with today's audience. The difference between retellings and fan fiction. Sara's recommendations for accessible classic literature. A different approach to finding the right retelling for your reading. Please note: Sara mistakenly mentions during the discussion that The Great Gatsbydid not come into popularity until its distribution to soldiers during World War I, when this actually occurred during World War II.

Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Robin Whitten discuss listening to this sequel to THE KIND WORTH KILLING, where Keith Szarabajka gives voice to detective Henry Kimball. Helen Laser delivers the backstory of his manipulative client, while Micky Shiloah is convincing as her gullible husband. Kathleen Early reprises her role from the earlier novel, returning as the disturbed Lily. Pay close attention, as nothing is what it really seems.

We are on a roll with great reads! This week we read, The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson, a twisty thriller that broke our brains so well we couldn't put it down. There's deception, sex, and muuuurder, all the hallmarks of a great mystery. This book is going in the hall of favorites for sure! Trigger Warning: This book briefly touches on themes of sexual assault and grown adults being creepy with children. What Did We Just Suggest?! Justin: The Case Study of Vanitas is a great anime! It's only got a couple episodes out, but they've both been really good. Give it a watch. Maya: I am your dad now, go get your oil changed. Also, reset your trip mileage every time you get gas so you can keep track of your car's mileage.

Psycho killers abound in this week's Halloween episode--so be sure to check over your shoulder. No murderers? Good. Grab yourself a Bitch's Brew cocktail and sit with your back to the wall for our first book, "Gone Girl", by Gillian Flynn. We talk book and movie with our latest guest star, Momma Kush, before moving on to "The Kind Worth Killing" by Peter Swanson. Both feature unreliable narrators and crazy female killers, and we can promise our Gin Martini won't clarify the plot at all. Don't worry--the goal is just to make it out alive, not sober!
