A nice addition to the series. I like how we get alot of the connections pretty quickly but the rest play out as you get to know the characters.
Nice to come back to this murderous world that Lily Kintner lives in but why can Henry not keep it in his pants? DO YOUR JOB.
This was a good book. I liked the premise and the characters. Didn’t really it was the second in a series. Oops!
Solid little thriller, I’d read more by this author. Low stakes and fast pace.
I mean…it kept my attention?
I couldn’t keep up knowing the difference between Richard Sutton and Richard Whelan lol

4.5 ⭐️ I really enjoyed this sequel! At first I thought I’d have to reread TKWK because I forgot a lot of the small details from the first book, but the author did a great job reminding the reader of the characters and events that happened. Plus, it was fun having those “oh that’s right” moments as the story unfolded. With regards to the plot, there were definitely twists that caught me by surprise, and I was consumed by the lives of these truly awful and dark characters. As always with a Swanson book, the writing was engaging and with short chapters and alternative perspectives, it was easy to binge in a day. There are a few big triggers, so I definitely advise looking them up prior to reading if you are a sensitive reader.
Read if you like:
-Serial killer thrillers
-Cat/ mouse plot points
-Alternating timelines and POVs
-Massachusetts setting
Thank you William Morrow for the gifted copy.

This was book two, but can also be read as a standalone. I enjoyed it a lot. A lot of twists and turns / cat and mouse style!
Great second book in this series. I absolutely love Lily and glad she made an appearance in this book too.
3.5/5
The Kind Worth Killing is one of my favorite thrillers of the last 10 years. I loved rooting for the antihero in Lily Kinter and the complexity in Henry Kimball. None of us are all one thing, and nobody better exemplifies it than these two.
It was great to have them brought back together and see the fruits of their strange friendship come to pass. I love the idea of Lily as a Dexter-like character but one with much more heart and compassion and depth. Really makes you think.
I liked this less than the original, but it was still a great read. Even my least favorite of Swanson’s books is still a better book than most.
