Deeply disturbing and graphically violent

July 26, 2017 by Mikki Blu Leave a Comment

As per the blurb:  Karin Slaughter returns with a sophisticated and chilling psychological thriller of dangerous secrets, cold vengeance, and unexpected absolution, in which two estranged sisters must come together to find truth about two harrowing tragedies, twenty years apart, that devastate their lives. This was a deeply disturbing book – well written, with great attention to plot and detail, but overall disturbing.  I would warn anyone thinking of reading this that it contains highly graphic violence to women, with scenes of torture and rape […]

But as much as John studies serial killers, he keeps telling us and his therapist that he’s studying them so that he […]

Eve Dallas hunts possible vampires and serial killers

June 15, 2014 by Malin Leave a Comment

Eternity in Death – 3 stars Creation in Death – 4.5 stars Creation in Death is book 25 in the In Death series (and the novella precedes it, counting as 24.5) and this is possibly not the place you want to start, as a whole load of character development comes before. However, as the books are a bit like episodes in a crime procedural show, picking up with this one would be like watching a random episode of a show a few seasons in. I don’t think there’s any major […]

    I was also disappointed by the Sunbearer sequel. This was a better sequel.
