ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE’S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME.

Iconic author Ira Levin’s Edgar Award-winning debut novel set a new standard in the art of psychological suspense. A modern classic published to rave reviews, and twice adapted for the screen, A Kiss before Dying is a darkly thrilling, twisting tale of criminal psychopathy.

Known for his looks and charm, a young man obsessed with wealth and status will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He sets his sights on a beautiful and innocent college student named Dorothy, intent on marrying her for her family’s money. But when Dorothy becomes pregnant, his careful plans start to unravel, and he begins to take cold, calculating, and drastic measures to protect his future.

A Kiss before Dying, told from multiple points of view, has thrilled millions with its perfectly constructed plotting and is an acknowledged masterpiece of crime fiction.

It’s a classic for a reason. An audio ‘page turner’ , perfectly narrated, by which all mystery/suspense stories will be judged.

The outstanding introduction by Anthony Horowitz fortunately had a spoiler alert. As recommended, you should skip over the introduction and return after finishing.

There are a few surprises that are revealed subtly but land like a ton of bricks. The last line will leave you speechless and in awe of the simple but effective word craft.
