In the town of Blackjack, Nevada, washed-up singer Jimmy Wayne is down on his luck, playing covers to a limited and uninterested audience in a third-rate casino. One morning he awakens to find that everything has changed. Not only has he accidentally murdered Wendy, his girlfriend, but he's also written the best song he's ever produced. Is it the act of killing that helps him create his finest work? And if it is, should he go for a full album? Wrestling for his desire for success, his grasp of morality and haunted by his past mistakes, Jimmy starts searching for the most terrible people he has ever known.

" [...] You look at me with your vacant
stare, I se you but there's no one there. [...]"
OMG! I haven't read such a dark story in a long time. I admire the imagination of the author, Guy Hale. His "Killing me softly" gave me a lot of chills. Thanks to this story, I experienced a lot of unforgettable emotions. This author knows very well how to attract more readers. I was rooting for the main character. I was very afraid for his life. He was literally facing death at the hands of suspicious people.
Our hero is the failing musician Jimmy Wayne. He has huge debts. He lives on the edge of life. He is in danger of death. One day he wakes up and sees the hanging body of his girlfriend. Was he the one who killed Wendy? He was very scared. On top of all this, he sees her spirit, which tells him what to do with her body. What's more, he finds a song written by him. However, he doesn't remember when he wrote it. This song will become a hit and a ticket to a better world.
Every death Jimmy inflicts is a new, fantastic track. Will he take advantage of it? What will he do to record an album?
This hero will experience many dangerous situations. Does anyone know about his dark secret? Who can he trust, and who should he avoid?
If you like books with a strong plot, interesting action full of twists and unique characters, you've come to the right place.
"Killing me softly" evokes many contradictory emotions in the reader. After the strong action, I expected a different ending. Author Guy Hale left me at a point where I absolutely had to read the second part.
I am very impressed with this story. Big applause for the author.
If you like unusual books, "Killing me softly" will be perfect for you.
Novels like these stay in our minds for a long time.
This book is the perfect script for a good thriller series.
I recommend this book to all thriller lovers.
Ps.
I'll tell you a secret, that my favourite character is Wendy's ghost. I hope that my favourite will return to the second part.
Do you believe in the existence of ghosts? Do you believe that spirits help us make difficult decisions?
