Publisher's Synopsis
Alice Loudon is a young woman who seems to have all she wants from life: a group of close friends, a loving boyfriend, a successful career. Then one day she meets a stranger and - impulsively, immediately - gives up her safe, ordered existence for apassionate affair. It leads her into deception, the abandonment of an old life, and a dark, secret realm of experience that both entices and alarms her. KILLING ME SOFTLY is a story of love and madness, eroticism and death. Exploring the temptations of passion and irresponsibility, Nicci French has written a nail-biting thriller of rare power.
