Luane Devore’s days are numbered. All her neighbors in the declining seaside resort town of Manduwoc want her dead. Some, like her young husband Ralph and his girlfriend Danny, want the thousands of dollars she keeps hidden under the mattress she spends her days resting on. Others want her to stop her malicious gossip–some of which could ruin lives.

Told from multiple perspectives, The Kill-Off tells the story of a woman not long for this earth–but who will finally take matters into their own hands, and when? THE KILL-OFF was the basis of Maggie Greenwald’s critically acclaimed film of the same name.

One reader’s comment - -Best thing about the style,it is written is that every chapter is written of the perspective of another character. They all entwine together, some of them have more to tell than others but not necessarily without the reader’s deductions between what they’ve already read and what is being read at the moment.

Another–Another dark, disturbing tale from the Duke of American noir fiction. Thompson can spin a tale like few others ever. Just be prepared for characters who are dark, nasty, disturbed, and just plain mean.

The original was a poor quality Audible rip. I eliminates the preview at the end.
