Title: The Kind Worth Saving
Series: Henry Kimball/Lily Kintner #2
Author: Peter Swanson
Publisher: William Morrow
Release Date: March 7, 2023
In this spectacularly devious novel by New York Times bestselling author Peter Swanson—featuring the smart and complex Lily Kintner from his acclaimed novel, The Kind Worth Killing—a private eye starts to follow a possibly adulterous husband, but little does he know that the twisted trail will lead back to the woman who hired him.
There was always something slightly dangerous about Joan. So, when she turns up at private investigator Henry Kimball’s office asking him to investigate her husband, he can’t help feeling ill at ease. Just the sight of her stirs up a chilling memory: he knew Joan in his previous life as a high school English teacher, when he was at the center of a tragedy.
Now Joan needs his help in proving that her husband is cheating. But what should be a simple case of infidelity becomes much more complicated when Kimball finds two bodies in an uninhabited suburban home with a “for sale” sign out front. Suddenly it feels like the past is repeating itself, and Henry must go back to one of the worst days of his life to uncover the truth.
Is it possible that Joan knows something about that day, something she’s hidden all these years? Could there still be a killer out there, someone who believes they have gotten away with murder? Henry is determined to find out, but as he steps closer to the truth, a murderer is getting closer to him, and in this hair-raising game of cat and mouse only one of them will survive.
I have no idea how I missed reading this book when it came out. I finally corrected that mistake!
Henry Kimball, no longer a detective, has embarked on a new career as a private investigator.
Joan Whalen, a woman he knew as a teenager, hires him to follow her husband, Richard, to determine if he’s cheating. Henry remembers Joan from his brief time as a teacher, a job cut short by a tragic event.
The case takes a darker turn when Henry discovers two bodies in a house for sale. He keeps returning to the possibility that Joan is involved, despite her having an alibi. A nagging feeling persists that she’s somehow responsible. This is where Lily Kintner comes into play.
To understand why I adore Lily, you need to read the first book, The Kind Worth Killing. My Dexter Lily is a fantastic character that everyone should know.
I can only say that I love The Kind Worth Saving and would read anything featuring Lily and Henry again!
Cliffhanger: No
5/5 Fangs
