Kill Night

We Could Be Heroes

By: Victor Methos

Narrated by: Ryan Burke

In this moody short story, bestselling author of The Secret Witness Victor Methos weaves a psychological legal thriller about one lawyer’s quest for a fair trial when the only suspect is his client.

Nick Collins vows to uncover the truth behind an accusation of murder, but as the trial progresses, the only truth he discovers is that his big-city client doesn’t stand a chance against small-town beliefs. If the accused is found guilty until proven innocent, the real killer could still be out there, and there won’t be any heroes left to catch them.

Victor Methos’s Kill Night is part of We Could Be Heroes, a darkly inquisitive collection of short stories that examines heroic intentions versus their real-life consequences. Read or listen to each in a single sitting.

It was good

The short book was good, but it could’ve been a little bit longer. Narrator was good.

A delicious morsel of suspense

Whenever you’re in the mood for just a novella, a little creepiness, this is it. Ryan Burke voices it so well, too. Well done, guys!

Nice short thriller

This was a brief read, but it kept me guessing. I also enjoyed the legal banter!

A short story.

A short story of murder and travel. A man is traveling to meet up with his wife who is having their baby. He picks up a stranger. This stranger has already murdered a woman and buried her. What will he do next?

Too short!

This would have been even better if it was a full story. Though for it being such a short story, a lot was put into it we understood the characters. Mostly, I wish we would’ve known more about the defendant in this case like
why was he on that road?
And who was the serial killer?
