Kill Your Darlings

By: Josh Lanyon

Narrated by: Kale Williams

At this mystery conference, murder is more than just another plot twist....

Nobody likes conferences, but they’re part of the job.

Millbrook House senior editor Keiran Chandler has spent years curating the best voices in crime lit, but when an unsolicited manuscript is handed to him at the Noir at the Shore mystery conference, truth collides with fiction. I Know What You Did is more than just another slush pile submission—it’s a direct threat.

U.N. Owen seems to know what really happened in Steeple Hill all those years ago. Who is Owen? How does he know these things? Clearly the mysterious author is after more than a book deal. But what?

With a potentially career-ending publishing merger on the horizon, the end of his affair with best-selling author and former homicide detective Finn Scott, and not so subtle threats from someone in his past, Keiran has a lot bigger problems than coming up with something witty to say on discussion panels.

Another Outstanding Book

Layton has provided us with exceptional mysteries and outstanding charters. I greatly appreciate Willisam's ability to breathe life into these charters.

Plot- wonderful!

Narrator does an amazing acting job with all the characters bringing them to life. Story is unveiled a little at a time making you think you know....when you don't! Thoroughly enjoyable.

More time spent with favorite characters!

This book is for fans of Josh. The story is good but the narrator is too familiar and it affects the novelty.

S’mores

Excellent murder mystery, interesting characters and complicated romance in familiar Josh Lanyon style. Her MCs are like s’mores. I would very much like some more Keiran and Finn if ever offered.

Adrien English and Christopher Holmes from other Josh Lanyon’s series are a part of the story and my brain instantly wants to re-listen them. How devious! 😉

Enjoyable narration by smooth voiced Kale Williams. There are often author - voice actor matches that just work amazingly, and this pair is one of them.

Obviously a female author ✍️ 😜

Honestly a good read, I Love josh lanyons angsty writing, but you can always tell a female author cause when the angsty couple finally fight and make up, they mention everything BUT the fact that the love interest at some point has cheated on the main character, only women authors don’t care about the cheating, their ALL about emotions and how they feel……..and this books a great example the love interest shows up with a completely younger guy who they are obviously getting it on with, but when the big make up happens……the blind siding cheating isn’t even mentioned lol god no man would EVER forget that lol
