Description

I love finding new authors with a back catalogue to explore and would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys dark, pacy crime novels. I look forward to following this oh-so-interesting man along on his forays into more criminal minds. As day breaks over the fairground, Detective Katie Scott forces herself to take in another disturbing scene in front of her. When he accepts a particularly disturbing case in London, Winter arrives to find a city in the grip of a cold snap, with a psychopath on the loose who likes abducting and lobotomising young women. I genuinely almost DNF'd at one point, (I tapped out at 68% if you're curious 😉) because it was so wrong, so messed up, I didn't want to read about it, I didn't want that particular image burnt into my soul forever more.

Home to William Golding, Sylvia Plath, Kazuo Ishiguro, Sally Rooney, Tsitsi Dangarembga, Max Porter, Ingrid Persaud, Anna Burns and Rachel Cusk, among many others, Faber is proud to publish some of the greatest novelists from the early twentieth century to today. I have rated some books very low but the books I love like this one and most I seem to read I score high because I truly enjoy them. Lauren feels unworthy of love however, until she decides to be more forward with her neighbour, James, when he needs a bit of comfort. In the thin light of the moon, the woman’s limp body hangs from the iron fence amongst the redwoods. At various points I was almost wanting to shout at the speaker in frustration as to why the main protagonists were not using obvious detection techniques that would’ve allowed them to make progress far more quickly in the investigation.This time however I found myself rewinding to figure out if you were an American doing an English accent or an Englishman doing an American accent and what do I find?

Caz, a very young prostitute who is caught up in the midst of a series of deaths in the community of working girls in Streatham and ‘The Punter’ a shadowy character whose darker thoughts and acts are peppered throughout the book. The only niggly point was Winter's theory on the dominant / submissive relationship of the unsubs - how he got to that theory is still a mystery to me.Broken Dolls is the first in the series of novels featuring investigator Jefferson Winter, a troubled man forever trying to escape from his troubled past .

If the author had given his first draft of this story to a modern day detective to proof read regarding what would be plausible, this could’ve been a much tighter story in terms of how a realistic investigation would progress. A dynamic detective and profiler with an intellect that can read into the most difficult criminal scenes, yet with an appreciation of luxury, whether a hotel suite, a malt whisky or a beautiful woman.

I loved all the extra details that were thrown into this story which made it such an absorbing read. Esta novela me enganchó desde la primera página, una novela de lo más adictiva , con una historia original y cruda, un ritmo trepidante y con un impactante final, con giros sorprendentes.I loved the plot of this, although the characters did some things I disagreed with and perhaps answering the door and letting strange men in was a little unbelievable? James Carol’s breakout debut novel takes readers on an action-packed rollercoaster ride that fans of Criminal Minds, Silence of the Lambs, Sleepy Head, and the Jack Reacher and Alex Cross series won’t want to miss. And lastly, I want to congratulate Mique for his second book and for revitalizing an extreme horror genre with that twisted mind of his we all love so much hh. Also the fact that the daughter would just side with this guy that told her mother to do these things is absurd.
