A KILLER WHO LOVES TO WATCH THE RESULTS OF THE HAVOC HE WREAKS
DETECTIVE MADDIE IVES FACES HER WORST NIGHTMARE.
Lance Askew is a career serial killer. He lives for it.
THE FIRST VICTIM
Alice Oxley runs her own café. An older man has become a regular over the last month. He likes to people watch. He doesn’t say much.
When he does speak. It comes from nowhere, he waits until she is very close: ”Your son is dead. I killed him.”
Her boyfriend is dead too. He says he left them under the photo on the stairs, the one where they’re all smiling together.
He drinks in her reaction then breaks the spell: “Go!” he rasps.
She runs home to see what he has done.
THE SECOND VICTIM
Michelle Rice pushes open her garden gate. It makes a squealing sound – it always has. It is how Lance Askew knows she’s home. He can barely contain himself. He is waiting for her.
Soon she will see what he has done.
A THIRD VICTIM IS IDENTIFIED.
Another family are about to have their lives ruined.
Maddie Ives and Harry Blaker are the detectives who must stop this killer. And he is far from finished.
ONE OF THEIR OWN IS THE NEXT TARGET
HE WILL GET YOU: the new thriller from Charlie Gallagher. Perfect for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Damien Boyd, Rachel Abbott, Patricia Gibney or Mark Billingham.
My Review
So Maddie and Harry are back in book 5 but if you haven’t read the earlier books it is fine they work perfectly as stand alone.
A serial killer is on the loose. A very dangerous one who not only likes to watch his victims slowly die but also watch the pain and havoc their murder creates.
Maddie and Harry are an interesting team they are complete opposites but they work together brilliantly each with their own unique personality and skills. I must also mention Vince. What a character he is he brings something different and special to the series. So the result is very unique , complex characters that are united in their mission to catch the bad guys.
The killer is evil personified he gets a real high from the murders and the havoc he creates but he is clever, very clever. He leaves no clues and everything is meticulously planned which leaves Maddie and Harry struggling to find a way forward.
I brilliant read but I am not sure I can forgive the author for what he has put his poor characters through. This book sees them all put through the wringer and left out to dry. They will be changed by this case but hopefully they will be back.
5 stars from me
