The Ladykiller: A deadly thriller filled with shocking twists

Product Information

A myth grew up that she bathed in her victims' blood to stay young, a fact used in the horror film 'Countess Dracula',starring Ingrid Pitt,one of the programme's talking heads. If I had any negative comment to make about the book it would be that the story could have reached a conclusion far earlier than it did and I found the murder of the toddler towards the end unnecessary and rather sick. So many twists and turns as DCI Kate Burrows tries to discover the identity of the perverted serial known as "The Grantley Ripper" and bring him to justice, We also have Patrick Kelly, who's daughter is murdered by the Grantley Ripper, trying to do just the same but his justice will be very different to that of DCI Burrows.

I would say this is good book to read regardless of the repetition, several characters and quick ending. I have read a lot of Coles latest work but have many times seen this mentioned as one of her best books and I now agree and was not disappointed.

Yes, it was scary being in the mind of a freaking serial killer (pun intended) but then again it was fascinating: again, charity begins at home and when later on in life you don't get to unpack your childhood baggage the result might be a serial killer. Kate is the hard-but-fair copper whose investigations – and heart – become dangerously entwined with London’s most infamous gangster, Patrick Kelly. But his attack on the daughter of a notorious gangster is about to propel him into the media spotlight. But she has no idea just what this killer is capable of, and how much she might be putting at risk to find him. She is the bestselling author of fourteen novels set in London's gangland, and her most recent three paperbacks have gone straight to No.

I would have preferred the Grantley Ripper case to be solved in a different method to the one chosen by the author, however, I then understood her reasoning behind this decision and it made sense.

She does this subtly when Kate Burrows watches a soppy movie with her friend, only to have the reason for the viewing explained.

No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. This is the only word reverberating through my mind as I think back to what I've just read: All 727 pages of it. It didn't make me cry, it did however have me looking behind me every five minutes whilst walking my dog haha.
