The Killing Kind The Killing Kind
UK US
"The unrivalled master of Maine noir. Menace has never been so seductive."
    —The Guardian

"Connolly does the chill factor brilliantly, creating horror out of the sort of misguided religious fervour not seen since Waco. Mass graves, Parker's sixth sense, and deadly spiders set the mind and pulse racing."
    —Daily Mirror

"A stunningly creepy book, with a villain who sets a new benchmark in nightmare-inducing fear. Nail-biting stuff."
    —Yorkshire Post

"A brilliantly terrifying ride."
    —Irish Times

"The Killing Kind is smart and literate, wise and tender, enthralling and compulsive. A rare thriller indeed."
    —Sunday Tribune

"The Killing Kind is a phenomenal book. Since [Every Dead Thing] his books have only improved, getting better with every one, hitting an elegant crescendo with his next book, The White Road. The prose is beautiful and incredibly evocative. There are certain passages which stop you in your tracks, inspiring wonder and awe. The plot is equally outstanding; thrilling, yet not too complex. The Killing Kind is a page-turning, exciting read. I find it hard to praise this book adequately. You simply have to read it."
    —Mystery Ink Online
