“Father, forgive me” – the chilling phrase found next to multiple murder victims. Seemingly linked but separated by impossible miles.
When Anson Bishop, the prime suspect in the 4MK case turns himself in, he reveals a completely unexpected story. One that will change the lives of everyone involved.
But how much of his tale is the truth?
The first thing I will say in this review, as have many other readers in theirs, is do not read this book as a standalone. 1. You will be missing out on two brilliant books, and 2. You will be completely lost!
With this book Barker has given us everything we could possibly want from a concluding instalment, and more. Quite often I find there’s something lacking in the last part of a series, usual just a rounding up of events and a conclusion you probably saw coming from the off. Not this one, I practically had whiplash from my own indecision over who the “baddy” was. The fact that each book has just gone from strength to strength really shows how flawless this authors talent is.
The plot is exceptionally clever, yet not confusing; the characters are so twisted, but likeable; and the descriptions are chillingly gruesome, but scarily satisfying. I could go on, but I won’t.
I wouldn’t want to spoil this series for anyone by going into too much detail, but if you love this genre you must read these books. Thriller writing at it’s all time best!
