A Killing Cold

 
Author: Kate Alice Marshall
Publisher: Flatiron Books
Year: 2025

Teddy is invited to her wealthy fiancΓ©’s family’s mountain retreat for the holidays. She’s nervous about meeting his family, but also because she’s received messages warning her to stay away from her fiancΓ©. The holiday vacation awakens Teddy’s long repressed childhood memories, uncovering deadly secrets and lies. 


I know I’m too critical of psychological thrillers and I should just not read them. They’re usually a little too slow paced for me. I thought this was going to be a more of a locked room mystery and it kind of is. But it has a huge psychological thriller aspect. And that wasn’t doing to for me. It’s me. I’m the problem. I find the majority of psychological thrillers kind of boring. I didn’t find Teddy trying to piece together vague memories compelling or intriguing. Most of the characters were to cliched. I know lots of readers really loved this one, but it just wasn’t for me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️


Do you DNF a book of you’re not into it or do you stick it out to the end?
