A worthy successor to The Kind Worth Killing.

Joan hires PI Henry Kimball, our “disgraced” ex-police protagonist, to investigate her husbands suspected cheating.

And with that act, this rollercoaster of a plot is put into action.

This was better than I was expected, even though I really enjoyed the first. I just thought this one couldn't live up to the quality of the first. And it didn't, but it didn't fall far short. I don't really like the character of Henry or the motivations of most of the characters, even though that's partially the point of the books. This book didn't feel as fresh and original as the first and had more cliches that felt outdated and some even offensive. But I do still enjoy the thought processes from Lily and it was interesting to watch the twists/mystery unfold.
