Somebody Worth Killing
by Jessica Payne
Interesting read but not for everyone (5/3/2026)
I loved the first chapter of Somebody Worth Killing. I was drawn in immediately by the setting and how the author described where main character was and how they felt. Since I enjoy mysteries with complicated characters I was very interested in where the author was going with this novel.

However, I know there are readers who really want relatable and likable characters so I am not sure that if this is something a reader needs, I am not sure this book will meet that need.

I found Somebody Worth Killing to be as easy read with twists that were supported by the narrative. I enjoy a "good" twist but am not impressed with twists that are just thrown in. I was extremely interested in what was going to happen to the characters.
I believe readers who enjoy thrillers/mysteries with complicated characters will enjoy this book.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this book and I wish the author every success with the novel.
