Into the book
I was simply amazed that Joan Whalen, who was in a personal crisis, came to me as the person who could solve it.
Because I always thought the students in that classroom would remember me not only as an ordinary teacher, but also as the adult who made that day the worst moment of their lives.
But for some reason, Joan remembered me differently.
I was curious as to why.
--- p.51
There was a saying my father liked to use as a motto.
The saying was, “Once you learn something, you should always keep it in your back pocket for later use.”
And Joan followed through on those words.
Now, if Joan and Richard actually did what they had in mind, Joan would be remembered for a while as the girl who was with a boy when he drowned, the protagonist of a tragedy.
The thought of it was both scary and ecstatic.
So, even though she still had a few hours left until the beach party, she changed into the jeans and hoodie she had planned to wear.
And while I was waiting, I flipped through the television channels to choose a movie to watch.
--- p.116
“No, don’t worry about it.
Because I'm doing well.
Sometimes it's boring, but now that I've met you, everything's a lot better.
“I’m really curious as to why you wanted to see me?” Joan said, pulling her chair closer to Richard and leaning in.
“I want to kill my husband, and I know how to do it.
“But I need your help.” It was exactly what I expected Joan to say when she told me she was married.
“Do you want me to kill your husband for you?”
--- p.216
"great.
The reason I followed you was because I thought you were involved in the deaths of Ted and Miranda Sverdson.
But that was only a partial reason.
The truth is, I was completely in love with you.
“It was no wonder the police fired me,” I continued, seeing Lily smile and thinking she was having fun.
“It's your turn.
“Tell me the truth.”
“It was a big mistake to fall in love with me.
“I am not a bad person, but I have done bad things.”
--- p.227
Not only that, Joan was no longer bored.
She had long realized that she was happiest when the world cared about her.
The night he had to repeatedly tell the police about what happened on the dock right after he and Richard drowned Duane Wozniak to death was one of the happiest times of his teenage years.
The adults all looked at Joan with worried faces.
It was as if she commanded them with every word she uttered and every tear that flowed down her cheek.
Joan felt stronger immediately after Duane's death, even stronger than when she learned she was the best gymnast in school.
--- p.380
“There are two kinds of writers in the world.
They are observers and dreamers.
Although my books are considered to be grounded in realism, I am fundamentally a dreamer with a touch of observationalism.
There are so many writers like me in the world.
Writers who are purely excellent observers are in the minority.
Someone like John Updike.
He is an incredibly good observer.
On the other hand, the dreamer's temperament is a total waste."

Publisher's Review
A perfect crime for which no evidence exists
A detective joins hands with another killer to catch a killer.
A quest for evil that overcomes increasingly vicious evil
It all starts when private investigator Kimball's former student, Joan, shows up at his office.
She asks for an investigation into her husband's affair, but Kimball is uneasy.
Why did she come to me of all people? In my memories, Joan was always a mysterious student whose true intentions were inscrutable.
Kimball begins his investigation, but soon realizes he's fallen into a trap.
Three gunshots rang out just before the scene of the affair was raided, and Kimball opened the door to find the cold bodies of her husband and his lover.
Kimball was used as a witness to thoroughly prove Joan's alibi that she was not at the scene.
Meanwhile, Joan, a wife who lost her husband, is comforted by everyone and sheds tears.
This leads Kimball to decide to investigate the truth behind the incident.
Kimball traces Joan's whereabouts by retracing all past records.
And at the end, we discover that in addition to this murder, there were two more murders connected to her.
But there is no evidence anywhere.
On the contrary, the evidence that she is not the culprit remains strangely clear.
As if it had been planned.
Eventually, Kimball seeks out an assistant who will help him solve the case.
This is Lily Kintner, the main character of "The People Who Deserve to Die."
After hearing the story, Lily immediately realizes that Joan is the hidden mastermind behind the incident, and points out one more thing.
“She is not alone.
“There’s one more person.” Eventually, Detective Kimball and the murderer Lily decide to solve this case together.
“Even though I committed murder, I have no regrets at all.
I always have a reason to do so,
There was a good reason for that.
Peter Swanson is often called the greatest stylist of modern thrillers, and this work clearly demonstrates this.
He doesn't simply develop the story with the goal of solving crimes and incidents.
At the heart of Peter Swanson's work lies a taboo, a question that shakes the norms.
The theme that runs through “People Who Deserve to Die” and “People Who Deserve to Live” is whether killing “people who deserve to die” is forgivable.
He calls it 'good killing'.
That's why readers' minds become complicated as they read the book.
Because you fall into the contradictory emotions of rooting for another killer in order to catch the killer.
[Library Journal] continues its spine-chilling exploration of “evil that overcomes evil.”
Psychological thriller enthusiasts will race to piece together the puzzle of this beautifully twisted novel,” he said, aptly praising The People Who Deserve to Live.
That's Peter Swanson's specialty.
A story that is somehow 'beautifully twisted'.
What readers will gain from reading this novel, which moves forward at a fast pace without a break, is fun and more than that.
Are you a person who deserves to live?
The reviews from domestic pre-release review groups that read 『People Deserving to Live』 before its publication were also enthusiastic.
“I was so absorbed in the strong suction and fast-paced pace that I read on without even realizing it.
And the ending, which raises the question of how to define the 'people who deserve to live' that the main characters talk about, felt like a perfect ending." "Even though I was sick, I was able to read the whole thing in a day and a half thanks to the writing's absorbing power.
“It progresses quickly in short bursts, and the character’s perspective changes with each paragraph, and the timing is a work of art.”
It is no exaggeration to call Peter Swanson a "monster writer," as he inherits the serious atmosphere of classic crime novels while also advancing the story at a rapid pace through modern plotting.
Also, everyone agrees that, of all the works he has published, "People Deserving Life" offers the highest level of thrill.
This work, which is locally called the "Lily Kimball Series" along with "People Who Deserve to Die," is an unmissable new release for readers who love Peter Swanson's work, and the best choice for readers who are new to his work.
