I loved it!' <i>'The Kind Worth Saving</i> is another superb slice of Neo-noir a genre in which Peter Swanson is pretty much peerless.'<b> </b> 'An elegant sequel to <i>The </i><i>Kind Worth</i><i> Killing</i> by one of the world's best crime writers. Nobody writes psychopaths like Swanson.' 'Swanson is bringing the keen pacing and insights of psychological thrillers to the private eye genre and with remarkable results: <i>The Kind Worth Saving</i> is <b>a pitch perfect mystery</b> with all the humanity and depth we've come to expect <b>from this master of suspense.</b>' Peter Swanson is a master at sticking knifes into familiar tropes and then giving them a twist and<br>his latest is a twin narrative page-turner of the highest order. Peter Swanson is an author that excels in adding twisty layers into his stories that has the reader riveted and unable to tear themselves away. Nothing is straightforward or as it seems and it had me on edge throughout. A master storyteller! This is a sequel to Swanson's smash hit <i>The Kind Worth Killing</i> but you don't have to have read it to enjoy this one as Kimball's riveting back story is stitched seamlessly into the narrative. The suspense filled plot means <i>The Kind Worth Saving</i> will be another sure-fire winner and I've no doubt this won't be the last we'll hear of Henry Kimball. In the footsteps of Patricia Highsmith Swanson has always had a talent for making defiantly amoral<br>characters seductive and the waltz of treachery between most of his characters is a joy to behold.<br>Another page-turning success which cleverly makes the reader complicit in its celebration of<br>ambiguity. I cheered when I received this as <i>The Kind Worth Killing</i> is one of my favourite thrillers and now I have a sequel to read; how great it is to be reunited with Lilly and Kimball. It is literal magic when an author can seamlessly weave characters from one book into another in such a way that a reader does not have to have read the first book in order to become completely engrossed in the second. This is precisely what best-selling author Peter Swanson has done in <i>The Kind Worth Saving. </i> The story is told in alternating timelines. How those two stories converge and the shocking sleight-of-hand twist that is trust me impossible to predict are just two of the many balls that Swanson juggles in this entertaining story. Finding oodles of poetry in a crime thriller is unusual but then the protagonist here is not your average gumshoe. <b>From the <i>Sunday Times</i> bestselling author</b><br><br><b>TWO'S COMPANY THREE'S MURDER</b><br><b></b><br><b>'I loved it!' </b>GILLIAN McALLISTER<br><b>'Nobody writes psychopaths like Swanson.' </b>MARK EDWARDS<br><br>When private detective and former cop Henry Kimball is hired to investigate a cheating husband he senses all is not quite what it seems and before he knows it he's gotten far too close to the other woman.<br><br>As the case rapidly gets ever more dangerous he's forced to turn to the only person he can trust the sociopathic Lily Kintner the woman who once stabbed him but with whom he shares a peculiar bond.<br><br><b>'Swanson has made me fall in love with plot twists again.' </b>DOUG JOHNSTONE<br><br><b><u>Readers are gripped by <i>The Kind Worth Saving</i></u></b><br><b><u></u></b>***** 'Definitely one of the best books of the year!'<br>***** 'Wickedly delicious!'<br>***** 'A thrilling gripping book that will keep you on the edge of your seat.'<br>***** 'Fantastically twisty'<br>***** 'Wow this was a nonstop whirlwind!'<br>***** 'Oh my goodness I couldn't put it down'
