Just finished the 3rd book in the trilogy of the “The Serial Killers” yes I know it’s not technically the third, but was the way I listened to them. To be honest this one isn’t as good as the other two might be as it was the first and a new type of format to write. The plot was imho rather weak and the ending was seen as far back as half way through including the details in the epilogue.
Saying that, it’s was an enjoyable listen and passed 10 hrs
I listen to and read a lot of psychological thrillers so perhaps I’m being too harsh. Yes I would recommend it and now looking forward to Bad AppleNigel Tansley 2024-12-06
