About this listen

Everyone has a story. But not everyone’s story is true.

When a young woman vanishes from her remote Greek island estate, her best friend races to find her, using clues found in the explosive manuscript she left behind.

“Full of sun, sex, money, and greed, not since Gone Girl have unreliable narrators been this fun.”—Katy Hays, New York Times bestselling author of The Cloisters

Gia and Abby have been friends since childhood, forever bonded by the tragedy that unfolded in Greece when they were eighteen. Now thirty, heiress Gia is back in Greece with her shiny new husband, entertaining glamorous guests with champagne under the hot Mediterranean sun, while bookish Abby is working fourteen-hour days as an attorney. When Gia invites Abby on an all-expenses-paid trip to Sweden to celebrate her birthday, Abby’s thrilled to reconnect.

But on the day of her flight, Abby receives an ominous email that threatens to unearth the skeletons of her past, and when she and Gia’s brother, Benny, arrive in Sweden, Gia isn’t there. Worried, Abby and Benny fly to Greece, where they find Gia’s beachfront estate eerily deserted, the sole clue to her whereabouts the manuscript she penned, detailing the events leading up to her disappearance. Gia’s narrative reveals the dark truth about her provocative new marriage and the dirty secrets of their seductive guests, a story almost too scandalous to be believed. But the pages end abruptly, leaving more questions than answers.

How much of Gia’s story is true? Where is she now? And will Abby find her before it’s too late?

Critic reviews

“A missing woman, a dark secret, and a sizzling romance set in the glamorously decadent world of the uber-rich—Ladykiller is a salacious and steamy thriller with utterly unpredictable twists and turns until the mind-bending conclusion.”—Liv Constantine, bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish

Ladykiller is the perfect mix of setting, atmosphere, and tension. A past indiscretion (or more than one), a mysterious couple, a sun-drenched setting, unrequited love, and lust swirl together in this spellbinding novel from Katherine Wood. Trust no one, but read this immediately.”—Catherine McKenzie, USA Today bestselling author of Please Join Us and Have You Seen Her

“An absolute knockout of a thriller, Katherine Wood has crafted the perfect summer read with Ladykiller. Sun-drenched and sultry with shades of Highsmith and Gillian Flynn, I was utterly mesmerized by this twisty, devious, staggering suspense loaded with gorgeous backdrops, long-buried secrets, toxic female friendship dynamics, and jaw-dropping twists you’ll never guess, try as you might! I could not tear myself away from it!”—May Cobb, author of The Hunting Wives

The Talented Miss Wood

Fantastic! Echoes of Patricia Highsmith, a smidgeon of The Secret History… intriguing, engrossing, satisfying. Not your average thin-but-entertaining thriller; this story has literary merit. Loved it!

Middle of the road for me

I’m not sure I would recommend this book…
It’s not bad, but the ending didn’t fit the rest of the story, at least for me.
Plus one narrator was great, while the other could be hard to take at times.

unreliable narrators

Thank you Netgalley for the advance reader copy of Ladykiller by Katherine Wood in exchange for an honest review. Wow, this book was full of twists, it was so good. With different viewpoints and unreliable narrators, you never know what's real, who's the killer, and is anyone what they seem. I really enjoyed the book and had fun reading it.
