The Kill Clause

A Short Story

By: Lisa Unger

Narrated by: Vivienne Leheny

A hired killer finds herself caught between her conscience and her contract over the holidays in this riveting short thriller from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger.

A hit woman’s work doesn’t stop for the holidays. As the advent calendar winds down, Paige slips into a palatial house, ignoring a blizzard of texts from her ex-husband. No surprise—Julian always gets maudlin this time of year. The real shock comes when the target is not alone. His young daughter is there too.

Risking the wrath of her organization, Paige retreats. There are some lines that, for personal reasons, she just won’t cross. But when she returns on Christmas Eve to finish the job, the girl is still there…along with someone even more startling. As the ghosts of her past gather—to haunt or to help, it’s unclear—Paige must confront old traumas and outwit her superiors to make it to Christmas morning alive.

Do you have your safe house prepared???

A quick book worth reading!

This is not a genre I typically read (I prefer to watch my thrillers) and I could see a lot of the twists coming but this was still enjoyable and had me giggling!! Definitely time well spent listening to this book!! 😁

Good Christmas Thriller

This was a solid read. An assassin with a moral compass. Action packed and gave full novel vibes even though it’s a novella.
