This is more than a novel about a lonely woman who becomes the quarry of an obsessed detective. It is more than a gripping psychic suspense story that holds the readers right down to the last sentence. It reaches into the subconscious; the core of violence and aggression in all of us. It explores the question that most civilized people ask themselves: What would I do if I had the power to kill just by thinking about it?

This review is from: The Killing Gift (Signet) (Paperback)
This is a story about a woman who is a recluse. Attacked by an armed man, the main character kills him by wishing him dead. The homicide detective who investigates the crime becomes enthralled with this woman and her killing gift. Excellent suspense story, more suspense than horror. It's a Putnam Award Novel. definitely worth a look.

Incredibly complex and thought provoking,
By "rejii" (earth, the universe) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The killing gift: A novel (Hardcover)
When I picked this up, I thought it would just be a horror book. The story of Dr. Jennifer List Gilbert, a very ordinary and lonely woman whose extraordinary and unwanted "gift" repulses all the other people in her life. It begins with a sociopathic intruder to the Gilbert home dying an inexplicable and painful death during a home invasion robbery. The story of the police officer trying to get to the bottom of the mysterious death is interwoven with the strange and sad life story of Dr. Gilbert. Scary, suspenseful, tragic - I've read this book so many times I've worn out my copy and need a new one! Definitely recommend.

The Killing Gift - FANTASTIC,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Killing Gift (Signet) (Paperback)
Even though the settings are a little dated, this book is very exciting and I thoroughly enjoyed it and would happily recommend it to anyone who likes psychological thrillers. I was so happy with the author that I sought out other, less enjoyable, books by her. This one is a winner.
