Review: Depravity of Biggs continues...be forewarned...if you thought the first 3 were aggressively raw....

In this 4th volume I feel the author has really hit his stride in this series. His astuteness to keep the tension slowly building and building keeps the reader not only turning pages for more gore and more suspense but downloading the next volume and the next to see what happens.  You MUST start from the very beginning of the series unlike myself who then was compelled to go back and read the first two volumes to get the back story.Also in this volume is where Biggs, the protagonist-- serial killer extraordinaire, finally references the title of the book series: Lustmord.  I was wondering when or if there would be a reference like this and was happy when it was done.Structurally, everything moves smoothly and the choppiness of sentences that I encountered in the initial first two volumes has now disappeared.  Sentences move smoother and expressively without changing the thoughts or feelings of the characters expressing them.  If I thought the first 3 volumes was aggressively raw, this one made me gasp even more.  I feel there were some more peaks and valleys in this one and the parallel stories came more into play here as other characters paths slowly and more dangerously intertwined with the protagonists' Pastor Biggs' character.Honestly, I could see this as a horror film. I am a professional actor and just finished being a victim of a serial killer in a horror film and I'm up for another...wonder which part in Lustmord I might be good for lol. Seems most Hollyweird movies are based off novels these days so why the hell not eh? I just would hope that the writer would ensure that his story isn't taken and 'dumbed down' for an audience... then again...this may be well beyond anything the film industry could ever tackle even without any censoring. Imagination is better for this series.I highly recommended to only those with the strongest of intestinal fortitude. I have to move this now up to a 5-star (which I very rarely give out for anything)just for the sheer raw honesty of the writing, that the author took his time over many years to get it right and has improved through the first 3 volumes to where it is now a real work of art within this genre in my opinion.
