Serial Killer's Daughter: My Story of Faith, Love, and Overcoming

Product Information

On the other hand however even with the predictability there's a certain pull to reading about a serial killer and finishing it out to find out all of what he had done and just what would happen. Suzanne seemed to be a pretty strong character with what she's going through which had me curious was her toughness from her father? In the end this one turned out to just be an OK read for me, would have preferred a major twist or two I hadn't seen coming but the story was interesting enough. It's a well written story and I would LOVE to read a sequel to see where everything goes after this but, alas, that will not be the case as the author passed away in April of this year. It is now left to our own imagination as to how it all ends up. There’s only one word for Don. Monster. Pure and simple. An evil mastermind who made my skin crawl. He’s a manipulator, a narcissist, a liar, a charmer when he wants to be and amazingly capable of somehow always shifting the blame onto someone else. Lesley Welsh did an excellent job of getting into a serial killer’s head. Despite a childhood in the care system, Anna Price has beaten the odds and built for herself the perfect life, complete with beautiful seaside home, devoted husband and a job she loves.

The new book follows local vet Jenny, who is horrified when a young woman is taken from the streets in a sleepy Devon village. But it’s not the first time Jenny’s been so close to a crime scene. The daughter of a prolific serial killer, she’s spent her whole life running from who she really is. And the crime is harrowingly similar to those her father committed all those years ago… But she’s not her father’s daughter. Is she? I really enjoyed The Serial Killers wife, so I was so grateful to receive a copy of the next in the series The Serial Killers daughter. However, I am probably in the minority (so don't take just my opinion), but I couldn't wait for this book to be over. However, despite a number of very positive aspects to the story it feels inconsistent. For instance, the tension rises and then drops and little momentum is achieved in my opinion. There’s not a lot of pace, the story seems flat and an exciting when it’s ought to be a jaw dropper and sadly it doesn’t achieve that response in me. This is partly due to points being over explained and we divert to things that don’t add a great deal to the storytelling. It’s repetitive in places too. Our worries and questions will eat away at us if we keep them buried. Like poison waiting to claim a victim.”Then a detective comes to her door and utters the horrific words, “Your brother, Henry Lincoln, is wanted for the murder of multiple women.” I should immediately warn you I believe the author's characterization of Suzanne's father is so powerful you feel his presence everywhere, like an ominous shadow you can't see but know deep down in your heart that is following you. Don Tyler is one of the strongest and most captivating protagonists I have ever encountered in a story. I often wished I could put him in a glass cage and observe him, have a clear view of his mind and what the hell could bring such a man to act the way he did. Then I wanted to dissect him to find where and when his genes or brain wires had gone wrong! And I scared myself with those crazy thoughts that were triggered by this man's actions. Scarcely had I felt so strongly about a serial killer to the point I wanted to spill his guts and see how rotten he was!!! His death never takes away the influence he seemed to have on people, starting by Suzanne's mother, or the woman he was living with, Rose. Alive victims of a monster. If you haven’t read her other books then you won’t know that there’s a Serial Killer’s husband and a Serial Killer’s daughter. Both books have the most incredible twists in. Hunter said: "It was an absolute joy to work with such a dedicated team on The Serial Killer’s Wife and I was delighted with its success. I can’t wait to continue my journey with Avon and I look forward to sharing The Serial Killer’s Daughter with readers." But I did feel sorry for Suzanne she is a strong character. Imagine finding out that your dad was a serial killer that is the unthinkable.

I finished it in 2 days. It was a pleasure to read. My list of preferred authors now gathering new names. I’ve had The Serial Killer’s Daughter on my tbr list for what feels like forever. Being a little obsessed with the subject matter I had to get my hands on the book as soon as possible, however once I had it, it lay unread for a while, me thinking that the title and blurb of the book told me everything I needed to know. So, after her Dad dies she reads his diary and discovers he was a serial killer, end of. Well, how utterly WRONG was I?

Breaking away from them wasn't easy but then dad, The Painted Lady Killer known for his penchant for placing these butterflies onto his victims, is sent to prison where he is to this day. Unable to let Sophie’s memory alone, Suzanne begins to dig into her father’s life. What horrors is she about to unearth in his journals? And who is it that’s out there, watching her every move?
