3.66 AVERAGE


It was worth revisiting The Kind Worth Killing to fully enjoy this.

The first one is so messed up, but this one felt more like dexter (although I’ve never actually watched that show). Entertaining but very dark
medium-paced
dark mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The dynamic of Lily Kintner and Henry Kimball is so powerful that you want them to succeed and whilst Lily doesn’t make her appearance until about the final 1/3 the writing and story for book two in this series is almost as good as the first and it is definitely one to pull you in to the dark side. Richard and Joan are insanely clever when it comes to murder and manipulation so there of course can only be one detective to see through it all and where there’s Kimball there’s Kintner in the shadows.

The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because Lily isn’t in it enough and her part is just a little to easy and too quick to execute.
I received this book as a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Quite enjoyed this one. I have read the kind worth killing so I knew the background of the characters but this can be read as a standalone if need be.

Even though you know who the killers are in this book, it gives you enough suspense to keep reading. The writing is easy to read and the characters are interesting and developed.

A decent thriller. Even if the ending was predictable from the start.
