When I Kill You
The multimillion-copy and New York Times bestseller B. A. Paris returns with a triumphant, unsettling next suspense novel, When I Kill You.
Who is watching Nell Masters?
Nell Masters is certain someone is following her. The hairs on the back of her neck rise when she travels to and from work, there are silent calls to her office, and a huge bouquet of flowers arrives without a card. And Nell has a reason to be looking over her shoulder, because she has a secret that she’s hiding from everyone in her life, including her new partner, Alex. But Alex also has secrets of his own.
Fourteen years earlier, when Nell went by the name Elle Nugent, she witnessed a student, Bryony Sanders, getting into a stranger’s car. When Bryony was found murdered, Elle became obsessed with finding the person responsible. She was convinced she knew who it was and her fixation with Brett Parker, the man she accused, led her down a dangerous path . . .
Now, Nell tries to convince herself that this unnerving feeling of being watched is all in her mind. Has someone from her past discovered her new identity? Has the stalker become the stalked? Or is there something even more deadly at play?

My biggest disappointment was the ending. As a thriller, the twist should be the payoff — but I found it quite predictable. While the book does a decent job of making you question suspects along the way, I wasn’t shocked or even surprised when the reveal came, which took a lot of the tension out of the read.
The characters also weren’t particularly compelling for me, and certain plot points felt unnecessary and only added to the feeling that the story was dragging.
Not a bad book by any means, and fans of slow-burn thrillers may enjoy it more than I did — but for me, it missed the mark on the element that matters most in the genre.

Thank you to B.A. Paris, MacMillan Audio, and NetGalley for an early copy, therefore I am leaving an honest review.
