Martha is a librarian in Maine, living a fairly solitary existence. She’s resigned herself to never getting married, but then she met Alan, a traveling salesman, and shockingly, they fell in love and got married.
Alan’s job has him on the road a lot, going to various conventions. While Martha is fine with that, and Alan makes her happy, sometimes she feels like she barely knows him. One day, she finds a blood stain on a shirt he wore during a trip, and he can’t really explain what happened. She starts to become more suspicious of Alan, and after doing some research, she discovers that five women have been killed in five different cities while Alan has been in each.
Is her husband a murderer? Martha doesn’t want to go to the police or confront Alan, so she calls Lily, her old friend from college, to see what she thinks. Lily offers to do some digging into the murders and Alan’s possible involvement. But what Lily discovers is far beyond what either suspect.
I’m a big Peter Swanson fan, and really loved The Kind Worth Killing and The Kind Worth Saving. It was great to have Lily and Henry appear in another book (although I wanted more Henry). You don’t need to have read the first two books to enjoy this one, but you should!!
I loved the twists in this book, and I just love the way Swanson writes. I’ll be patiently waiting for his next book!!
