TWO’S COMPANY, THREE’S FATAL
‘Do you remember me?’ she asked, after stepping into my office.
When private detective and former teacher Henry Kimball is hired to investigate an ex-pupil’s 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.
As the case gets ever stranger, he turns to the only person he can trust, Lily Kintner, someone with dark secrets of her own…
With its ingenious clockwork-like plot, and twists aplenty, The Kind Worth Saving is a crime novel to savour from a modern master.

This is a sequel to Swanson’s smash hit The Kind Worth Killing, 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 The Kind Worth Saving will be another sure-fire winner and I’ve no doubt this won’t be the last we’ll hear of Henry Kimball.
'Swanson is bringing the keen pacing and insights of psychological thrillers to the private eye genre, and with remarkable results: The Kind Worth Saving is a pitch perfect mystery with all the humanity and depth we’ve come to expect from this master of suspense.'
Peter Swanson is a master at sticking knifes into familiar tropes and then giving them a twist, and
his latest is a twin narrative page-turner of the highest order.
'Smart, surprising, cool and fun, with a deeply satisfying ending. I loved it!'
'The Kind Worth Saving is another superb slice of Neo-noir, a genre in which Peter Swanson is pretty much peerless.'
'An elegant sequel to The Kind Worth Killing, by one of the world's best crime writers. Nobody writes psychopaths like Swanson.'
Peter Swanson’s novels include The Girl With a Clock for a Heart, nominated for an LA Times book award, The Kind Worth Killing, a Richard and Judy pick and the iBooks store’s thriller of the year in 2015, and, most recently, Before She Knew Him. He lives with his wife and cat on the north shore of Massachusetts.
