Enjoyable, manipulated and contrived relationships and murder. It has been a while since I read the first book so the connection was not obvious to me at first. This isn't really a mystery as you follow the murderers and the detective at the same time, but it's fun just the same.

The Kind Worth Saving, follow up to The Kind Worth Killing is a quick read that I would describe as generally okay. Unlike the first book, which I really enjoyed, this one took a while to get the premise going, while also having a number of duller spots. There is still some good sections and it's fun to see how some characters have progressed further, but without its short length, I may not have stuck around to the end.

Clever plot. Very convoluted and felt more like an excuse to get Henry and Lily back together. But, you know, I like serial killers with nuance.

Ehh not as good as the first. Honestly I don't think this book was necessary.
