A review by paracosm
The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson
4.0
This one was good. It's technically my second book by the author, I DNF the first one, and from what I've heard about the rest of his bibliography I will not be picking up any of the rest of his books.
There were several good plotwists scattered. Moments in which the story made a surprising turn that I wasn't expecting, always for the better. The characters were smart without being invulnerable. Things we're turning against them, not because of stupidity, but for reasons beyond their control. For example, at some point someone realized the plates in a car were switched because the new ones were cleaner than the rest of the car.
Regardless of all that, I still wouldn't consider it a great book. Maybe thrillers are not my thing anymore. It's been so long since I've read one that truly gripped me.
