Another great thrilling mystery from Swanson. It is elaborately plotted, twists and turns that I had never expected. It is tge story of a woman’s suspicions about her husband and we watch as these suspicions spiral out of control. Nobody will ever put all these pieces together. Yet, by the end, the author has provided masterful closure.

I really enjoyed this, thank you Netgalley for this great, chilling read.

WOW.
I absolutely LOVED this book. I genuinely could not put it down. I’d read “The Kind Worth Killing” by Peter Swanson a few years ago and it ended up becoming one of my favorite books. I recently just found out about its sequel but decided to hold off on it. I requested this book due to recognizing the authors name and loving the first couple sentences of the synopsis. When I realized it was the third book in this series, I was bummed because I am never one to skip a book in a series. I decided to keep reading this despite having not read “The Kind Worth Saving” and hoping for the best. and that’s exactly what I got.

This book plays out absolutely seamlessly. It has a cast of characters so unique and ruthless and …. oddly endearing ??? It’s so incredibly complex and messy without being confusing or too much to handle. Peter Swanson has a serious gift for telling a twisty story and satisfying readers. It made my skin crawl and I literally just sat here and finished reading it at 5 AM. It’s been a while since a book has not only kept, but DEMANDED my attention.

It’s that good. I am most certainly going to go back and read what I missed in this series and I look forward to hopefully meeting these characters again sometime soon!

A huge thank you to NetGalley, Peter Swanson, and HarperCollins for access to the ARC in return for my honest review :)

Peter Swanson is consistently entertaining. A recommended purchase for collections where crime and thrillers are popular.

I absolutely devoured this book. Told from multiple perspectives and most of the characters are upfront about their issues. I read this in 24 hours because I just had to see how it ended.

Some gore, people taking the law into their own hands-vigilantism-I think this sums up this title. Interesting use of different voices narrating the chapters but all in all a bit too unbelievable and a little too easy to figure out the ending. I’d give this a pass.

Lily Kintner is back as she helps her friend Martha find out if Martha's husband is a serial killer. Martha's husband, Alan, is a traveling salesman and there's a pattern of unsolved murders in some of the towns Alan has visited. Is he a serial killer?
A Talent for Murder is entertaining and twisty. Midway it takes a turn I was not expecting, and I liked the ending.
Recommend if you liked the previous books about Kintner and/or Swanson's other titles. It's helpful to have read the others in the series to get Lily's backstory.

I mean....there is a clear reason why people flock to Peter Swanson's books and "A Talent for Murder" showcases exactly why. WOW!!! Fantastic books!!!!
