Synopsis

The attractive redhead at the A&P checkout counter opens her checkbook and begins writing a check, unaware that she’s signing her own death warrant. The man behind her in the dark overcoat memorizes the address on her check. When she leaves the A&P, he follows her home. In the next few weeks he tracks her every move…and when she rebuffs his advances, he stabs her.Five women, chosen at random, fall victim to a man the press dubs the Hyena. The NYPD has no leads until young Babette Watson walks into homicide detective Max Segal’s office. She tells him she’s had disturbing visions of all the crimes before they happened. Dubious, Max takes a chance in believing the pretty psychic, and it isn’t long before they’re on the Hyena’s trail. But the Hyena knows they’re tracking him, and it won’t be long before he strikes.Like Fear Itself and Exes, Dan Greenburg’s other bestselling thrillers, Love Kills is a terrifyingly realistic, darkly humorous, startlingly sexual, street-tough page-turner with a surprising climax.

He never returned it to me (I went to a private religious school so I'm certain my teacher's eyes fell out of their sockets from some of the sc......more

Este libro estuvo en la biblioteca de mis padres desde que recuerdo. De hecho uno de mis primeros recuerdos infantiles es una pesadilla que tuve con la imagen de la tapa (una hiena fluorescente muy fea). En la contratapa tiene una sinopsis intrigante "TE AMO, DECIA. Y DESPUES MATABA". Todos estos ele......more

Goodreads review by Henriette on September 28, 2015

From the timeline jerkily moving back and forwards, the police needing a psychic to solve the murder (and in the end still not being able to solve it, as they catch the wrong guy and more or less stumble upon the correct one) to the killings mostly being accidents, this book was not only annoying bu......more

Goodreads review by Anna Cazale on April 05, 2016

Good but don't recommend. The story had merit but had a lot of what I considered filler. I found myself speed reading over the repetition. I didn't know I had speed reading capabilities....good to know. Maybe due to reading book three in the series first I was disappointed with the authors beginning......more

Goodreads review by Mikel on February 13, 2025

Last year I enjoyed, Exes by Dan Greenburg, so this year I read the first novel in the Max Segal trilogy, Love Kills. Love Kills is a pure, late 70's sleaze thriller with a psycho killer, the Hyena, obsessing over women and then killing them when they reject his crazy, stalker overtures. Homicide De......more
