Shocking and Thrilling.
Wow, what a kick this tale has.
Utterly addictive and chilling yet unsettling enough to keep you devouring each chapter.
Unputdownable!

I chose to read and review a free eARC of The Domino Killer but that has in no way influenced my review.

I have read a number of books by this author but this is the first one in his Joe & Sam Parker series. I didn't struggle at all coming into the series at book three as the main plotline revolves around events in the brother's past so it worked really well as a recap. And yes, I probably should have mentioned before, Joe and Sam (I'm so sorry, I really want to call them Sam and Mark for no other reason than perhaps I watch too much children's TV!) are brothers. Joe is a defence lawyer and Sam is a detective constable.

When a man is savagely attacked in a Manchester park, DC Sam Parker is part of the team investigating the victim's death. The attack was frenzied and bloody and the police have a race against time to find the killer. But then the victim's fingerprint is found in the most unexpected place and it throws the team a pretty big curveball. Joe meanwhile has been called to the police station as he has been requested by a new client on a burglary charge. What awaits him is the shock of his life. A face he never expected to see again, but the reason he became a defence lawyer in the first place. Before long the brothers are hunting down a psychopathic serial killer who will stop at nothing to see his plan come to fruition, no matter what (or who) the cost...

I enjoyed this gritty police/legal thriller set in Manchester. The plot was detailed and intricate, and because of the two lead characters and two perspectives, I felt as though I was getting two stories for the price of one. It's a really interesting concept to have two brothers in opposing careers and it really added something to the book for me. I expect I will pick up the first two books in this series in the not too distant future.

The chapters focussing on the police investigation with Sam Parker were definitely my favourite parts of the book. I think I preferred Sam's character to Joe's who seemed a little self-centred at times. The supporting cast were also very strong and I particularly liked Sam's police partner, Charlotte Turner, and Joe's paralegal and an ex-detective herself, Gina.

Would I recommend this book? I would, yes. I found The Domino Killer a slower paced read but it's certainly compelling and I was keen to find out where the killer was heading with his master plan. There's a wonderful twist towards the end of the story which I really enjoyed and didn't see coming at all. I did get a little confused at times with the number of character names and how they related to other characters in the book, but that's probably just me. A really interesting crime novel with two intriguing characters. Recommended.

I chose to read and review a free eARC of The Domino Killer. The above review is my own unbiased opinion.
