A Talent for Murder by Peter Swanson

mysterious

1.0

Decently written, but repetitive and tedious. If I hadn't read the previous two books, I might have rated this a little higher, but as it stands, this one was quite dissapointing. There are just too many sociopaths and serial killers conveniently orbiting Lily’s life. Also, I don't like the retrospective reframing of Lily’s character. Here she's presented more as a righteous vigilante, someone who does what "must be done", rather than the morally ambiguous, borderline sociopath we met in the first book.
