Summary: Women Meets Sexy Man, Marries Him and Lives to Tell!
Comment: Killing Me Softly was an engrossing novel of psychological obsession expressed as sexual obsession. Sort of a 9 1/2 Weeks light. I read it in a day and 1/2 and I'm trying to forget it so I can read it again! Alice, the heroine, is smart, brave and adventurous. She did the things women would love to do but don't really have the guts (or the heart) to do. Would you leave you nice boyfriend, comfortable life, college mates and parents for dream man? Many women have been tempted to go for it, but take the safe, expected route instead (bummer). I enjoyed reading about a WOMAN taking a huge risk, going over the edge, ENJOYING IT and living to tell about it! Adam the mountain man was also a mysterious, sexy treat. I found his character to be intriguing, sympathetic, needy and very, very,very sexy (if you don't mind the ropes!!!).
Women will love this book!!!!!!

Summary: Excellent psychological thriller
Comment: Anyone who knows Alice Loudon envies the young woman's near perfect life. Her boyfriend is handsome, nice, and treats Alice with respect. Her job as a research manager at a London-based pharmaceutical company pays well and is challenging.
However, her idyllic, seemingly established life abruptly changes due to a chance encounter while crossing a street. The eyes of Alice and mountaineer Adam Tallis connect. That evening Adam waits for Alice to leave work. He invites her to accompany him, which she does. They share the best sex of Alice's life. Over the next two months their relationship intensifies until they marry. Alice begins to neglect her work and friends. However, she begins to realize that the paragon she married has dangerous flaws. She learns former girl friends have died and now she is the target of his newest obsession.
KILLING ME SOFTLY is one of the best psychological thrillers of the year. The story line centers on an intelligent female enslaving herself to a dominant male even as she begins to question why. Adam is an intriguing but frightening character. However, this novel belongs to Alice, whose brilliant metamorphosis demonstrates the talent of Nicci French. After reading Ms. French's first time ever in America novel, sub-genre fans will obsessively clamor for the publisher to deliver her other two tales (only released in England).

Summary: Thrill
Comment: I am used to reading casual romances - I have read suspense and mysteries, but never a thriller such as this. I enjoyed the book very much and I only hesitate in giving it 5 stars in that I don't have too many thrillers to compare it to - otherwise, however, it is excellent. Alice, I feel, is amazing and real. Her choices and what she does - they are logical; insensible, immoral, yes, but they make sense, as does her endurance of Adam in his violence. And Adam - to the end of the book, I can see why she loved this man. And it's amazing that the book allowed that understanding. I am sure, if one is up to the deeper connotations of violence (which have nothing to do with guns, knives, or gangs), anyone will enjoy this book.
