These dark thrillers had me gripped from the very beginning. Some people seem to not like the graphic content but I feel I must praise the author, he kept it realistic and this raw look at crime evoked stronger emotions from me than any book in my recent memory. His descriptive writing style really brought the events to life and this helped to immerse me in the compelling story.The murderer was suitably sickening which was important, the depravity elevated the suspense to a whole new level as you knew the killer was capable of just about anything. I felt the plot moved at a confident pace that allowed the characters and story to develop whilst still being fast enough to maintain your focus at all times. Often I end up guessing the outcome in books but this was an exception, I genuinely didn’t know what was coming next and I’m glad I didn’t, it made it all the more powerful and shocking.Overall I’m thoroughly impressed. I feel books of this quality would be perfect for adapting into films, I’d certainly pay to see them. With more offerings in the series I’m already eagerly anticipating the continuation of this fantastic piece of literature.
