     This one was slightly better than the first one in some ways but not as good in others. Henry Kimball is back and hunting a pair of killers. After a former student hires Kimball to follow her cheating husband and his supposed mistress, they end up dead. But could these be linked to a school shooting in Kimball's past?
     My biggest issue with this book is that none of the main characters/ POV characters are likable. The story I found was more interesting and twisty. 
     The narrator was pretty good, but not the best with voices. Overall a solid 4-star book.

The elegant sequel to the Kind Worth Killing, and it didn't disappoint. Henry Kimball is now a PI, hired by Joan an ex pupil from his teaching days, to investigate her husbands affair, Henry senses that it's not what it seems. Told from various points of view, and I enjoyed it when Lily turns up. Several twists and turns to the book, which whilst I expected twist, some of them crept up on me. A very satisfying, smart, twisty, "fun" read.
