Peter Swanson has become one of my favorite thriller authors. This sequel to The Kind Worth Killing starts with poor Henry Kimball, the frustrated poet, ex-teacher and ex-cop.
Without a job, Henry starts his own private detective agency. One of his former English students hires him to help prove that her husband is cheating on her.
The novel jumps back and forth between the present and Joan's time as high school student.
I don't want to spoil anything...so I shouldn't say anything else.
But if you liked the previous book, you will love this. I am hoping he does a third one in this series!

Great second book for this series. Intriguing and definitely gave me a good jaw drop moment.

This is the continuation of The Kind Worth Killing and I just loved loved loved it!
I listened to the audio book which was just what I needed. Great narrators, interesting storyline, two different timelines, suspenseful atmosphere, messed up teens and psycho adults. Juicy and right up my alley!
We meet again detective Henry, now a PI, and Lily in a race to catch a killer. This was interestingly done as Henry is hired to investigate the husband of a previous student of him from back when he was a teacher. Loved how the past was told and where the present brought them all.
And Lily... devious Lilly. Won't reveal what she's got to do with all this.
Some think this volume was not necessary but for me it worked perfectly. I needed more after The Kind Worth Killing and I got a perfect sequel. I can only hope for vol. 3.
- I think that romantic love, not family love, is the most destructive force on earth. It’s the only thing that makes otherwise good people hurt one another.
- It doesn’t have to.
- It does, actually. I’m not talking about what people will do for love. I’m talking about what people do to the ones they love. They break each other’s hearts.

⭐ 2.5/5
This was good, but tbh, I didn't care for Kimball. What I do care for is Lily's character and Lily's POV didn't come up until Part 3. Soooo basically, I started liking the book in the last half lol
