A #BookReview • The Soul Killer By Ross Greenwood • @rossg555 #BoldwoodBooks #TheSoulKiller #DIBartonSeries #crimefiction #bookblogger Plot DI John Barton and his team, when a family has a devastating suicide of there father who was gravely ill with cancer. And they can not accept that he committed suicide, unfortunately, with no suspicious circumstances. The case is closed. Then another person is killed in the family. Plus DI Barton is called to yet another scene of skeleton remains. The plot is incredibly dark, gritty, and absolutely exceedingly enthralling and extraordinary. You can't get much gritter or as soul-sucking as this killer. Ross has crafted one crazy sick mother f×cker (But, I thought that about 'The Snow Killer'). This author truly gets better and better. The story is told from DI Barton and The Soul Killer's point of view alternating with each chapter. Characters DI John Barton is a brilliant, stand-out, kind and interesting character. I love that Greenwood gives a very good glimpse into his and his families life. He has a supportive family and you can truly understand how much he loves his family. Which is quite refreshing amongst the dark bits of this book. His team are equally as awesome and I love their light-hearted jokes while there working. The Soul Killer is honestly destructive, creepy, dark, but at the same time seems quite ordinary. He undoubtedly has had an awful childhood with a horrible, crazed religious mother and relentless bullying. I did feel a little empathy for him due to the above. Writing Greenwood has created yet another cracking, disturbing, explosive crime thriller. It was certainly a unique way of writing this book and it has paid off tenfold. It is simply a page-turner with ingenious twists and turns, razor-sharp and distinctively tension-filled. Pacing This started of slow-paced but quickly turned into an addictive tension-filled book that doesn't let you go. A cracking, disturbing, explosive crime thriller. A page-turner with ingenious twists and turns. Razor-sharp, distinctive and addictively tension-filled. A slow-paced start with a thoroughly sensational steady velocity..... https://bit.ly/3fdM1T0 (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_y558LBXCU/?igshid=10qu0ioc2ck7w
