A to Z: Letter K

Killing Me Softly, a novel by Nicci French

 Blurb: Alice Loudon has a wonderful boyfriend, Jake; a nice apartment in London; good friends; and a satisfying job as a research manager in a pharmaceutical company. On her way to work one morning, she locks eyes with a handsome man dressed in black, and cannot get him out of her mind. Later that day, she finds him waiting for her and she plunges into an affair of such intensity that she leaves Jake, neglects her friends and her health and even puts herself in great danger.

This psychological thriller was adapted to film in 2002.
It starred Heather Graham and Joseph Fiennes.

Personally, I've never read the book or seen the movie. Have You?

    I've always been interested in this one, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll have to add it back to the reading list!

    I've never read the book or seen the movie, either, Cathrina, but I can understand the instant attraction and the foolishness that could result from it. It sounds like a must ... if only to warn about the consequences.

    I haven't seen the movie either but if it's ever on Netflix I'll probably watch it.

    Coincidentally, Killing Me Softly was on satellite yesterday! It was listed as a thriller, but I have to say it moved so slowly that I lost interest and clicked away... I'm pretty impatient. ;)

    I haven't even heard of it before! I'm surprised too because I loved Joseph Fiennes in Shakespeare in Love so this should have been on my radar.

    The only thing I've heard of "Killing me Softly" is the song...which has nothing to do with the book or the movie o_0

    Count me among the naysayers. Never heard of this one... book or movie. Yes, to the song, but it doesn't count!
