Publisher's summary

A vicious murder. A case close to home. DI Simon Fenchurch is back. Rekindling his marriage helps put their shared trauma behind him. He's finally living his life again. But on a busy London street, Fenchurch and his wife witness a young woman being attacked in broad daylight, the vicious killer leaving her bleeding to death on the pavement.

Fenchurch pursues the attacker through a warren of backstreets and eventually arrests a young hoodie with a cache of stolen phones—an "Apple picker" on the make.

An open-and-shut case, but something feels off....

Was this really just about a smartphone? Why did the victim look unusually nervous before she was targeted?

And why don’t the prints on the murder weapon match the young man in custody?

Before Fenchurch can probe further, his superiors remove him from the case, convinced he has let the real culprit run free.

But Fenchurch is determined to get to the truth, uncovering a conspiracy that reaches high above the street gangs of London. And below the surface.

Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Mark Billingham, JD Kirk, and Alex Smith, Worth Killing For continues the best-selling Detective Simon Fenchurch series of gritty police procedurals.

Engaging Story Line

I really enjoyed the characters & the way they interacted with each other. They were real & not perfect.

A test of willpower

We get it, the man has reflux. We get it, he likes Mexican food. Between the endless repetition of “his gut was churning” and “he wanted a burrito” and the existential dread internal monologue, it is REALLY difficult to like Fenchurch. Add the fact that he seems incapable of catching an offender, never slaps handcuffs on anyone and seemingly always gets taken down in a fight, it’s by sheer willpower that one will finish this book. I want to like this character, I really do. It’s not an easy task. Lastly, this story line was so convoluted and messy, if there had been a Cliff Notes version, I would’ve opted in.
