Book Review: the Soul Killer by Ross Greenwood

Disclosure / Disclaimer: I received this ebook from St Martins Press, via #Netgalley, free of charge, for review purposes on this blog. No compensation, monetary or in kind, has been received or implied for this post. Nor was I told how to post about it, all opinions are my own


                    Coming out THIS week, is the latest installment in the DI Barton series!

Synopsis:

A murder made to look like suicide. Another that appears an accident. DI Barton investigates the tragedies that have shattered a family’s lives, but without obvious leads the case goes nowhere. Then, when the remains of a body are found, everything points to one suspect.

Barton and his team move quickly, and once the killer is behind bars, they can all breathe a sigh of relief. But death still lurks in the shadows, and no one's soul is safe. Not even those of the detectives…

How do you stop a killer that believes life is a rehearsal for eternity, and their future is worth more than your own…?

Ross Greenwood writes gritty, heart-pounding thrillers, with twists aplenty, and unforgettable endings. Perfect for fans of Mark Billingham and Stuart MacBride.

Review:

This is is the second book in the DI Barton series, but the first I had read. I will definitely be going back and reading he first book! The author takes atypical tack of telling things from the killer's perspective, as well as Barton's. But he never gives you enough info to figure out for sure who the suspect is until about 3/4s of the way through the book, and then you want to finish reading to see how Barton will figure it out, and what the finale body count will be! It's a great series for those who love British police procedures!
