I liked this continuation of the Henry Kimball/Lily Kintner series, maybe not as much as the first but still worth reading and I ended up really zooming through this book to find out how everything unfurled.

Follows Peter Swanson’s classic approach of villain povs, narrators being killed off, a no one is safe vibe and a master planner behind it all. I found the denouement a bit lacklustre, I kind of wanted more emotional drama from that but overall I liked the cat and mouse element the story took. Though after that ending, I’m curious to see how this series will continue on…

     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.
