The Killing Type by Jane Corry is a great short story that is scary, mysterious and fast paced. Really kept me reading and not knowing what to expect next. Fantastic read.

Excellent story. Wonderful characters and plot line. I really enjoyed it. I would recommend this book.

A short story but gripping read which could actually be a really promising novel. Nevertheless, and despite the length, a totally great read. Hope there's more, though.

A short but very enjoyable story from this talented author. .. Well worth reading .. I recommend it

The Killing Type is a cleverly designed novella (or short story, I'd even go as far as to suggest) that focuses around the bond of sisterhood and the love children have for their parents. Corry demonstrates the strength of familial bonds and manages to bend the reader's brain to suit her own narratives, revealing everything only in the final moments.
Though short, The Killing Type was a fantastic representation of what lies beneath.

Short, thrilling read with plenty of twists. I received a copy from NetGalley and this is my honest review.

The Killing Type is a short story about two sisters named Susie and Danielle who despite their close age difference have never been close.

This was an excellent short story that grabbed my attention from the start.

I wish The Killing Type become a novel. It was very interesting but far too short.

I would like to thank NetGalley and Penguin Books for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

It is a short story and that alone disappointed me as this could be a really promising novel. Nevertheless, it is a gripping one and despite the length, a totally great read. Hope there's more, though.

The Killing Type is a short story of two sisters seemingly wrapped up in a whirl wind of lies and deceit. You, also, won’t know who to trust in this wonderful, condensed thriller!

I would LOVE to see The Killing Type become a novel. It was engrossing and gripping but I needed more! I love all of Jane Corry’s books and this short story is no different!

Thank you to Netgalley, Jane Corry and Penguin Publishers for the opportunity to read The Killing Type.

Had a good story to it. Some parts were quite clever. Was too short I think. Wouldn't say it was awful just wasn't t for me

Short but enjoyable. Features two sisters, a husband, and a twisty, shocking, revenge whodunnit plot - what's not to love.

When I requested this I didn't realise it was a novella, or that it was so very very short! It was a good story for how short it was, but I would have liked more depth and detail. You can't get that with a book of 50 pages! It is a good premise for a full length book. As it was so short it did jump around a lot.

If you like novellas this is a good one to read with a twist at the end I wasn't expecting. But don't expect the detail of a full novel as you won't get it here. Also be aware that it is just 50 pages on kindle, but also that the book ends at 49%. It took me half an hour to read it. The remainder is part of The Dead Ex which is a novel by the same author, but totally unrelated to this story.

A great set up for a short story. I just knew exactly where it was going from the beginning so I wasn't ever able to thoroughly enjoy it... often if I guess the end, the story telling will wrap me up regardless. I did think the writing was good and I would definitely try more from this author.

I'm not a big reader of short stories, but I like this author so I thought I would. It's good! And enjoyable read, fast paced, great for those looking for a quick read. I hope she releases another novel soon though!

This book was really fun and gripping. I lovedd the our main character and the plot. And the twists and turns were so page turning!! I read this along with a friend who too got a advance copy from netgalley and it was worth our may summer! Thank you for the free ebook!

The Killing Type is a short story about two sisters named Susie and Danielle. The barely speak to one another, but Susie is the first person Danielle turns to when she becomes convinced her husband, Simon, is trying to hurt her. Neither Susie, nor the police, believe Danielle's claims. A few months later, someone dies, and only one question remains. Was it an accident—or murder?

This is one of the best short stories I'm truly impressed that such a compelling story with amazingly clever twists was accomplished with such brevity. I've read full-length novels that were nowhere near this unputdownable.

If you're a fan of short stories, do give this one a try. I have a feeling you'll love it!

I received an advance reading copy of this book courtesy of Penguin via Netgalley.

Thank you to Netgalley& Penguin Books (UK) for allowing me to read this for free in exchange for an honest review 🙏🏻❤️.

I flew through this book as it was only a short story and covered the time frame very fast! Quick, action- packed chapters!

The plot was a great one, I even laughed out loud! Who in the world would go to all of this trouble only to basically turn yourself in at the end 😂😂

I wish this story was longer, and I was dissapointed that it ended abruptly at 53 percent. Where's the rest? I knew it was supposed to be short, but that was teeny tiny! I think it deserved a bit more "meat" in the middle instead of racing straight through to the point.

Also, I didn't like how the second half of the book was directed towards her new novel. I felt like It was kind of thrown at you like " here, read this, buy my new book." Not a fan of that being half of the novel and to be honest I didn't read past the short story,

I'm not normally a short story fan but having just had surgery I have the attention span of a gnat. Clocking in at 50 or so pages The Killing Type is a tale of two sisters, one married and one not, and a fateful text needing to talk. Six months later the husband is dead but who was responsible and what really happened?

If you're a fan of fast-paced thrillers with a satisfying twist then check out The Killing Type but maybe don't share it with your sister... Bumping My Husband's Wife to the top of the pile now and intrigued by the snippet of Ms. Corry's next book included at the end of this novella!

I'd just read 'The Dead Ex' which I thoroughly enjoyed but had not realised this was a very short story, which I always avoid at all costs as I find them most tiresome. As they go, this was typical. If you like short stories, then it's fine, you'll like this. Personally, not for me.

I really enjoyed this read. Not just because it was a thriller, but because of the way the story was told.

I loved the twist at the end, but to be honest, I wanted to read more! Although this is a short story, the character-based chapters keep the pace smooth and the story fluid. This would have been a good tale to tell as a novel, as I found myself wanting to learn more about the characters.  

Corry did a fantastic job setting up the ending, but my lips are sealed – too much happens to give away the surprise.
This breakneck short story draws you into the lives of Danielle and Suzie, who - despite being sisters - are not close. Susie is weighed down with the responsibility of caring for their mother, while Danielle is busy with her own life. 

But when Danielle sends Susie an ominous text message she agrees to meet her at a café.  

When outgoing, dramatic Danielle reveals that she thinks her husband may be trying to kill her, Susie doesn't believe it, thinking her sister must have misread her husband's intentions.  

Until Danielle is involved in a car accident - her brakes failing. Danielle is convinced it wasn't an accident at all, that Simon tampered with her brakes.  

Now Susie doesn't know what to believe.
  
Would Simon have a reason to try and kill Danielle?  

Or does Danielle have a reason to lie?    

For fans of short story suspense and good twists.
