Lily is beautiful and seductive, and definitely the kind of woman who can be your best friend or your worst enemy and she caught Kimball’s attention years ago when he was investigating a crime. It was a fast read. I don't have so much time, but I finished it in 2 days. It is pretty good for me.

Something about the eponymous girl, Liana Decter, has haunted George Foss for twenty years. He met her on his first day of college and soon they were inseparable. But after Christmas break, she's gone and his heart is broken. Even after he learns the nasty truth about her, he unconsciously watches for her everywhere, thinks he sees her in crowds, on the street, on the beach. Not unlike its predecessor, The Kind Worth Saving features unlikely people coming together and plotting the perfect murder. Or four. When no one even knows they've talked to one another, who could possibly link them?In a tantalizing set-up reminiscent of Patricia Highsmith’s classic Strangers on a Train.... On a night flight from London to Boston, Ted Severson meets the stunning and mysterious Lily Kintner. Sharing one too many martinis, the strangers begin to play a game of truth, revealing very intimate details about themselves. Ted talks about his marriage that’s going stale and his wife, Miranda, who he’s sure is cheating on him. Ted and his wife were a mismatch from the start - he the rich businessman, she the artistic free spirit - a contrast that once inflamed their passion but has now become a cliché. All I am going to say is enjoy. There are plenty of twists and games happening throughout, and who do you trust? Who do you believe? Read it and find out, you will not be sorry. Now, I will admit to having trouble with psychological thrillers. They’re like romantic comedies for me. All too often, they sound better than they play out and I end up being disappointed.

Everyone dies. What difference does it make if a few bad apples get pushed along a little sooner than God intended? And your wife, for example, seems like the kind worth killing.” The Kind Worth Saving is the second book in the Henry Kimball/Lily Kintner series. And just like its predecessor, The Kind Worth Killing, I’m left wanting more!! I will say that just like the first book, this one started off slow for me, and then Part 2 of the book really took off. Part 3 is the conclusion of the book that made me sad that it ended. It’s safe to say that Peter Swanson likes to build up a momentum in his stories, and he succeeded once again.

Customer reviews

Kind of rambles along, two time frames. The present and 20 years ago as teens. The main character, George, seems pretty clueless and passive throughout, like a passenger on a bum road trip. Those who enjoy books about serial killers will most likely enjoy this book. Unfortunately, I think this will be the last book that I will read about this topic. When you know a character is a very bad person, a total psychopath, and yet you can't help rooting for them?! That's some good shit!
