I'd been wanting to read this book for ages because I really enjoyed the first book in the series, Rock'n'Roll Suicide. Although this is book 2 in a series, it is a totally different story, rather than a continuation, and can be read as an individual novel.Jack Lockwood is probably the luckiest or unluckiest man on the planet (depending on how you look at it). He always manages to get himself into life-threatening situations, yet he always gets out alive! This is actually one of the most enjoyable things about the two books in this series, there is endless action and tension, and page-turning suspense.In this book, Jack Lockwood finds himself falling in love with a woman, who it later turns out could have a very dark past. Or does she just look like the woman who could be a murderer? This is one of the mysteries Jack has to solve. Meanwhile, there is a contract on his life because of a book he is writing. We follow Jack as he tries to survive and also tries to find out who his new love interest actually is.As a further twist, he meets another woman who falls head over heels in love with him. Which woman will he choose?Another part of the storyline is the investigation into a spate of recent murders in Canterbury. The serial killer has been dubbed The Bible Killer. Could this serial killer be a bit closer to home than Jack first thinks?Geoffrey West's writing is addictive and I'm very happy to have discovered such a talented author. I'm looking forward to book 3.If you like traditional crime fiction you'll love this book.
