About this series
Peter Swanson's crime series follows Lily Kintner, the smart and complex woman introduced in The Kind Worth Killing, and Henry Kimball, the private investigator whose cases keep leading back to her. It opens on a night flight from London to Boston, where a stranger's confession to Lily sets the first novel in motion, and runs through three connected psychological thrillers about ordinary people who decide someone in their life deserves to die. Each book can be read on its own, though the later entries assume the earlier outcomes.
