What is The Killing Kind about?
Based on the acclaimed novel by Jane Casey, The Killing Kind follows the "compelling past and present relationship between a high-flying defence barrister, Ingrid Lewis and her client John Webster, a successful businessman", according to the synopsis.
After representing Webster in court when he was accused of stalking his ex-girlfriend, Ingrid won his case, and things turned personal between the pair. But when she was ready to end the relationship, Webster couldn't let he go, and Ingrid's world imploded.
The synopsis continues: "Just as Ingrid is rebuilding her life, the sudden death of her mentor and friend collides with the unexpected reappearance of Webster with a sensational claim. Locked in a game of cat and mouse and fuelled by an obsession to find out the truth, Ingrid's world threatens to unravel once more."
