‘Nobody writes psychopaths like Swanson.’ MARK EDWARDS
When private detective and former cop Henry Kimball is hired to investigate a 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 rapidly gets ever more dangerous, he’s forced to turn to the only person he can trust, the sociopathic Lily Kintner, the woman who once stabbed him, but with whom he shares a peculiar bond.

Henry Kimball is a private detective, and former high school teacher. One day a woman, a former pupil, asks him to find out if her husband is cheating on her. As he begins his investigation the husband and his girlfriend are found dead (supposed murder/suicide) and he soon realises these are not the first deaths to happen around the wife, Joan – some of them dating back to her schooldays. This is a very decent read and the characters are well-drawn, although I wished I'd read the first book featuring Kimball so I could fill in some of the background gaps in this. Nonetheless, even being read as a standalone novel, it's definitely worth 4 Stars.
