Clever plot, unique storyline. If there is one mystery audiobook that you need to listen to this year - it has to be this.

I wouldn’t exactly call this book a thriller or a romcom but I did have a lot of fun with it!

Book rating: 4-4.5⭐️
Audio performance rating: 4.5-5⭐️

I listened to the audiobook and the narration was so good! I was able to listen with 2.0x speed and I didn’t have any issues following the dialogues. There is one narrator but she did magnificent job with the dialogues and overall the whole performance. The audio is 7h20min long which made it easy to finish under 2 days.
The storyline is pretty unique and interesting. The execution didn’t give me the usual thriller/murder mystery vibes. It somehow is a combination of crime, mystery, thriller and romance but despite the killings it doesn’t have the serial killer-y vibes. The romance is a subplot, more like a background story. It was simply a good time and highly entertaining listen to me. I was actively NOT trying to figure out the killer but even with such intention, I did figure out some of the plot twists.
Basically it’s a story with multiple killings happening over the course of one night when the group of people is stuck at the airport but it doesn’t give you anxiety or twist your stomach (which is the usual for me when I go for thriller-thriller). (I mean it as a compliment).

There is one POV 1st person narration with kind of dual timeline - you have airport (current) chapters but they are mixed with making of the reality TV show (throwbacks) chapters. Hazel - a girl with some skeletons in her past decides to take part in new reality TV show (sorry, social experiment) that uses AI (sth like Apple Watch with Siri) to find a perfect match for Marc - the bachelor, heir of one of the wealthiest UK families. It was super fun and interesting both - the storyline of how they matched, and the murder mystery part at the airport. The role of AI in the story was pretty well balanced and well written into the story.
I enjoyed the plot twists. They were fun, unexpected (even if some of my guesses happened to be true) and overall well placed and executed.
It wasn’t exactly a laugh out loud read for me but it did have a couple of very funny moments and as a whole was kept in mostly light and funny writing style.

There were some details that you shouldn’t think too hard about - like why they stayed at the airport overnight, why she was still in her wedding dress but the type of writing made it quite easy for me to ignore those little things and just ignore for the sake of having fun with the story.

The title and cover might indicate as it’s a romance about serial killers, but it’s not exactly that. It’s not a thriller, nor a slasher. While there are multiple killings happening in this book, it’s closer to murder mystery with a romance subplot.

Big thanks to Head of Zeus Audiobooks for NetGalley ALC.

A solid 5-star enjoyable listen!

Are Hazel and Marc really destined by love? decided by AI? What could really go wrong.. right? And someone got murdered? count me in!

Ah I loved this! Everything from the characters to the storyline to the adorable Norwegian accent during the narration. Narrator Mei Mei Macleod did a great job with this book. From start, I understood that this would be a solid listen, and I was in for a treat!

I definitely recommend this book, especially as a listen if that's something you enjoy!

Thank you to Netgalley, Head of Zeus Audiobooks and author L.M. Chilton for the advanced audio copy of I Think We Should Kill Other People!

This was such a fun listen! 🎧

I devoured it in a day, so easy to do. It is full of vile characters that I really wanted to get what they deserved. The setting was fun, a remote airport in Norway in the middle of a snowstorm. The place is deserted apart from the Van Batton family and a few others and they are stuck there with no escape. It is not long before one of them is dead.

There is no love lost amongst these people. Marc and Hazel were meant to marry in a reality TV show that matches people with AI. The wedding doesn’t happen and we go back in time to find out what happened and why they all hate each other.

This is one dark book, and if dark humour is your thing you will love this book. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments. A story of revenge, family secrets and love.

Thanks to Head of Zeus Audio for my early listening copy. The narrator did all the different accents so well and it was easy to keep all the characters straight while listening. Out on April 9th

I knew I was going to love this book just from the title and the cover, but the actual story topped it off! The premise was so unique- I especially loved the reality TV program element and the inclusion of Cilla the AI. It added such a clever, modern layer to the plot.

I truly loved everything about this book: the characters, the dark humor, and the pacing. I did a mix of listening to the audiobook and reading the physical book, and I’d highly recommend both formats. It's a wild, fun ride from start to finish!

Married at First Sight meets Scream, or more likely Scary Movie, in an isolated airport cut off from the world by a ferocious snowstorm.

It's entertaining, witty, and more than a little bit deadly, with some brilliant twists you genuinely won't see coming. L. M. Chilton goes from strength to strength in these social tech-based serial killer thrillers.

Add in some extra sparkle from narrator Mei Mei Macleod and this book becomes just that bit more special.

I loved loved loved this! I found it genuinely witty and an excellent pastiche of the genre of dating shows coupled with an excellent use of the fear around AI and technology. Excellent!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars! This was an addictive listen.

I think we should kill other people was a smart and funny mystery. I really liked the flashbacks to the filming of the show and how the plot was split into episodes, especially as Hazel starts going from smitten to infuriated with Marc.

I also really liked the use of Cilla the AI wristband in both solving the mystery and how awkward she made the show itself. I was glad I was listening to the audiobook and was given an idea of what the AI would sound like, otherwise she would definitely have sounded like Cilla Black from Blind Date in my head.

Mei Mei Macleod’s narration was outstanding, she perfectly captured just how fed up Hazel was, I totally believed I was listening to a woman stuck with the worst people she’s ever met on the worst day of her life. She also perfectly brought Marc’s family to life, I particularly enjoyed every moment Dante was in the book, because she made him sound just so petulant.

Also, I owe L.M. Hilton a big thanks because Hazel’s dream date food of French fries and peanut butter is now my fussy toddler’s favourite food.

I highly recommend this audio book for when you are in the mood for a darkly funny mystery.

Thank you to NetGalley and Head of Zeus Audio for the opportunity to listen to this ALC.
