Product Description

Review

'The writing is crisp and suspenseful, and the dialogue is as sharp as ever.' (John O'Connell GUARDIAN )

'He [Marshall] takes a standard revenge thriller and whip-cracks it into something more satirical... this expertly constructed thriller exploits modern anxieties.' (FINANCIAL TIMES )

'Marshall's thriller is the perfect summer read: a high concept page-turner that is always rooted in character and the everyday... Killer Move is a forcefull, well-crafted nightmare for the modern age.' (MYSTERY SCENE )

'A subtle and unnerving story of the little things that can tip the balance of one's life and send it spiraling into chaos.' (PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY )

'Marshall ratchets up the stakes of his deftly written suspense novel by injecting telling if somewhat paranoid commentary on how regular people can be manipulated by those with the means and ways.' (BOOKLIST )

'A mind-blowing combination of crime and horror, made all the more terrifying because the character doesn't know why it's all happening. Compelling and unnerving, it will make readers look a lot more closely at the people around them, and the startling climax will make them wonder if anyone really knows anyone.' (ROMANTIC TIMES )

'It's juicy reading, and the gasp-inducing ending will leave you wishing for more.' (CASCADIA WEEKLY )

'Michael Marshall...has the rare ability as an author to accurately depict the world we live in, horrifying though it may be, in vivid detail. KILLER MOVE offers a franctically paced read, building up to a crescendo...another breathless modern-day thriller.' (Marty Mulrooney ALTERNATIVE MAGAZINE )

'Great plot, good strong characters, creatively and well written.' (CRIMESQUAD.COM )

5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent thriller, 19 Jun 2011
By 
Zola fan "Nana" (Hants, UK) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Killer Move (Hardcover)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
I really enjoyed this book, it deviates from the usual kind of crime thriller scenario because the main 'victim' is not a particularly appealing character. Estate agent Bill Moore should be happy, he has more than most with his luxurious lifestyle but still chases the pinnacle of his dreams. Moore thinks that the only way he can achieve the goals he set himself, the last cherry on the cake, he needs to meet 'the right people'. It all begins with a mysterious card on his desk which states 'Modified'. From here on in the nightmare begins; strange things begin to happen, people that Moore knows go missing, false accusations abound and deep secrets and lies are exposed.

It's an exciting thriller that had me trying to read faster in order to uncover what/who is behind all the chaos and terror - it does have quite a bit of violence in the book but personally, I thought this added to the mayhem. It's a rare author that elicits sympathy from the reader for a pretty hard-nosed, unlikable character like Bill Moore but I did feel for him. I won't spoil the ending, suffice to say I usually guess it miles off but I didn't see this one coming.

I have never read Michael Marshall before but based on this book I will read some of his others and I recommend this one to anyone who likes a fast-paced, intelligent thriller who doesn't mind some violence on paper.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fast paced expertly crafted thriller, 12 Jun 2011
By 
Champollion (Cheshire) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Killer Move (Hardcover)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)
There are crime novels, that you can spot the killer, and see the ending from a million miles away. "Killer Move," definitely does not fall into that category, and Michael Marshall's well crafted thriller, will keep you guessing, till the last page.

Meet Bill Moore, an ambitious estate agent, whose five year plan for himself envisages adding wealth and status to his already perfect marriage and lovely home. He sells condos for a living in an up-market part of the west coast of Florida. Life for him is about to take an unexpected turn and things start to go wrong, badly wrong. Someone is messing up his life and he tries to catch up with events, things get a whole lot worse.

Meet John Hunter a man on a mission. Only this mission is not about peace and love. He has just been released from prison after serving sixteen years for a murder he did not commit. He is intent on revenge, cold or otherwise, and will go to any lengths to achieve it.

So how those two people, cross each others paths and with what results, is revealed as the plot unwinds and it reaches a climax.

In amongst it all there are bloody victims along the way as the story veers from one side to another.

It is a fast paced thriller with a credible twisting story-line, believable characters, and a built in life warning to remind you that when you think your life is going well, there could be a spectacular fall, waiting round the corner for you.

As a newcomer to the books of Michael Marshall, I enjoyed this satisfying thriller and liked the setting of Sarasota and Longboat Key, which I know well. Walking around St Armands Circle will never be the same!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read!, 22 Feb 2012
This review is from: Killer Move (Kindle Edition)
I love this author!! I have been hooked since reading Straw Men and this book doesn't disappoint. He is a great storyteller with twists & turns....I was honestly kept guessing until the very end and I'm normally pretty good at sussing these mysteries out. You can really relate to and empathise with the 2 main characters even if they might not be doing something good. I would really love to see a sequel to this one...well done Mr Marshall!

If you like suspense then read this one! I literally finished it in 24 hours because I couldn't put it down.
