The Ladykiller : A deadly thriller filled with shocking twists

Jenny is not just any girl. She cares nothing for Cain's hard-man reputation - she just wants to be with him. There are many questions that viewers of Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story have after finishing the controversial series. Many fans have asked what happened to Dahmer’s grandmother and whether she was ever suspicious of him. While Netflix's Dahmer series did include events that actually happened, the TV show also took creative liberties with the horrifying true story. As a result, those interested in the minds and motivations of real-life serial killers like Dahmer may want to turn to documentaries for more information and less sensationalism. I love this author and loved this book. At the heart of the story was a great love affair and the twists and turns that it went through to ultimately survive. Caroline es el personaje más inestable, no es ninguna santa y no deja indiferente con sus actos. Jenny flojea porque la autora la pinta como alguien que rara vez muestra un carácter fuerte ante los ataques que recibe o las desgracias que vive. Mientras Cain esté con ella, pues es como si todo diera igual. Cain es prácticamente el mismo durante todo el libro, pasan décadas y no noté cambios en él. Jenny evoluciona un poco más, pero incluso cuando le sucede algo muy trágico, vi que se volvía a destacar que lo que le importaba es que Cain y ella pudieran estar juntos. Before his true nature was revealed, H.H. Holmes was known for being an intelligent con artist and bigamist who would later become one of America's first serial killers. He would occasionally sell the skeletal remains of his victims to local medical schools. Holmes confessed to murdering 27 people in what would be later dubbed his "Murder Castle" (via Biography).

When Cain is sentenced to life in prison it seems that Caroline might have got her wish. All Cain and Jenny know is that if their love can survive such separation, then one day they will have a chance at the Good Life together again. Cain Moran wanted Jenny Riley more than he had ever wanted anyone or anything before in his life. But loving Jenny Riley was the easy part.... Los capítulos son muy breves y eso ayuda a que la lectura sea fluida durante la mayor parte del tiempo, pero eso no impidió que yo siguiera pensando que sobraban páginas y que la autora cometió un error monumental con el dichoso prólogo y la sinopsis.

The Ladykiller (DI Kate Burrows, book 1) by Martina Cole The Ladykiller (DI Kate Burrows, book 1) by Martina Cole

John Wayne Gacy is known for his horrendous acts and the murder of at least 33 young male victims (per Britannica). The notorious serial killer has been the subject of a few documentaries over the years and one of the more popular is John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise. Her latest book is still a far cry from her books such as Ladykiller, but it was a book that I started and finished in one day (which always tells me it’s a winner). Cain Moran is a face who seems to have it all. However, when he meets Jenny Riley his life is set to change forever and it changes in a huge way. I liked Cain from the outset, although Jenny seemed a little bit far removed. The story is set over decades, which totally works for me and I love the fact that we see a snippet of the future right at the very beginning of the book. We then see Cain’s life progress over the years and it’s a story that certainly held my interest. But there are greater trials ahead than either can foresee. They're about to learn the hardest lesson of all: British crime writer Martina Cole examines the life and times of the most notorious female serial killers across history and asks: why do women kill, and why are we surprised when they do? The depiction of women in this novel was concerning. All of the female characters were one-dimensional idiots, whose only defining traits was how much they care about (or hate) Cain Moran. The whole book was rife with rampant sexism, and yes, before any of you get on your high horses I get that the criminal underworld is not exactly a haven of gender-equality, but what is concerning is that Cole cannot seem to write a well-developed female character DESPITE BEING FEMALE. What the hell Cole? If blokes like George RR Martin and Terry Pratchett can do it then why can’t you?Among the best movies and shows similar to Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story is one of the many documentaries on the killer himself. Fresh Meat: Jeffrey Dahmer is heralded as a fast-paced Cliff Notes style look at the infamous serial killer's life, but it also contains graphic descriptions of Dahmer's crimes that may not be appropriate for all audiences. Richard Ramirez was and still is remembered as a violent, sadistic man known for his brutal acts against his female victims. As detailed by Brittanica, he was convicted of murdering thirteen people, but it is believed there may have been more. The terror he reigned over Los Angeles in the 1980s means that the Night Stalker has left his mark on society. As the worlds of crime and law collide, will Kate take down the Ladykiller, or will he be her undoing?
