I think I enjoyed The Kind Worth Killing slightly more, but The Kind Worth Saving was still such a good read and a worthy edition to this series! Although there aren’t many jaw-dropping twists, the deep dive into the more psychological side of the characters makes up for the predictability of the book. It was fast paced and kept me drawn in, and the multiple POV’s worked really well.

I am glad I continued!! This was better than the first one IMO. I definitely liked the writing a bit better, and I appreciated the character development.

I recommend reading “The Kind Worth Killing” before this book as parts of that plot are mentioned throughout the book. Was difficult to follow the characters at times but overall it’s another good murder mystery. Listened on audible.

     This one was slightly better than the first one in some ways but not as good in others. Henry Kimball is back and hunting a pair of killers. After a former student hires Kimball to follow her cheating husband and his supposed mistress, they end up dead. But could these be linked to a school shooting in Kimball's past?
     My biggest issue with this book is that none of the main characters/ POV characters are likable. The story I found was more interesting and twisty. 
     The narrator was pretty good, but not the best with voices. Overall a solid 4-star book.
