I wish I reread The Kind Worth Killing before jumping into this but I still enjoyed it. I love the darkness and the dynamic between Joan and Richard. I just wish for a little more depth. Hard to say without spoiling the book. Overall, I would recommend this duology (:
I was expecting this to be bad and I was pleasantly surprised. A 3.5 that I am happily rounding up to 4.
The book was OK however it seemed like the plot took a turn the second half of the book that didn’t really make sense with the first half of the book. The character introduced the second half of the book was abrupt.

LOVED IT! This was great fun to read. Be sure to read "The Kind Worth Killing" first, as this is a continuation of that story. That one was also a great read. I would recommend them both.

Just like The Kind Worth Killing, I finished this audiobook in a day. Loved it just as much! On to the third installment of the series!
Swanson delivers a solid follow-up in this sequel to The Kind Worth Killing. Like its predecessor, the narrative of The Kind Worth Saving is driven by the actions of a killer couple, Richard and Joan. However, this time, it’s Henry Kimball who is first drawn into their web of deceit, prompting him to reach out to Lily Kintner for help in unraveling Richard and Joan’s crimes.
The highlight of this book is the evolving relationship between Kimball and Lily – it has elements of an enemies-to-lovers dynamic. Furthermore, forgiveness plays a significant role in their companionship, challenging readers to consider whether love can truly forgive all things.
On the downside, Joan and Richard, the central couple of this crime thriller, are less compelling. While the narrative devotes substantial time to their past, explaining how their unholy alliance began, it doesn’t convincingly explain the continuation of this alliance in the present.
Overall, I would recommend this sequel to anyone who enjoyed the first book.
Rating: 3/5 (Rounded down from 3.33)

I thoroughly enjoyed retuning to these characters I had loved so much from The Kind Worth Killing. Peter Swanson has become an author firmly on my bookshelf.
