Official Review: Serial K Returns by Brian Gallagher

[bclayton13]

This book sounds so fascinating. I already downloaded if and I’m excited to get into it! A thriller from the perspective of the serial killer just seems intriguing to me.

This book caught my attention and I can`t wait to read it. I love to read about the psychology of psychopaths, serial killers and many other like this. I think it is amazing to analyse and discover how the human mind functions at its best and at its worst, and I apreciate the author`s intention in revealing the serial killer`s psychology.

Your glowing review definitely made me want to check out the book, but you are certainly right--this book isn't for the faint of heart! In just the first few pages, there's a brutal murder, as the ones you describe. This isn't the book for me, but I think fans of thrillers will dig it!

Nice review, and from the sample I read it seems spot-on. I really enjoy thrillers and this one drew me in quickly. I like the premise of actually going inside a killer's mind to understand the motives behind the actions, and I especially love the idea of a strong, very independent female protagonist. The author is obviously skillful since he writes in such a way that you not only empathize with the victims, but also with the killer. I would definitely read this whole book!

The book sounds amazing, thrilling and interesting. I really always wondered how the mind of a serial killer works and what are their emotions. This book definitely sounds like my type of thing and sounds real good

I don't disagree with your rating, as the book was professionally written. However, though I gave it a try, the writing just didn't pull me in at all. I didn't care enough about the characters or the story itself to keep reading.

from the looks of the cover looks like its full of suspense and twist and horror

Great review. I do love a good mystery/crime thriller. Being a huge fan of true crime books and TV shows like criminal minds, I have always been interested in seeing how the mind of a serial killer works, what their motivations are and what if any explanation is given caused then to become like they are. I will definitely be reading this one. Thanks so much for sharing.

From your review, I understand that the serial killer is driven by a desire for revenge caused by his childhood traumas. He mainly targets priests, but in the first chapter I've read he kills a reporter who calls him a fraud. I am curious how the author chooses to detail upon the killer's psychological transformation.

[Stephen Campana]

This sounds like a great thriller. I like when an author gives us the perspective of the criminal; it makes the story more compelling. Thanks for the review. I may check this one out.

The mind of a serial killer has revealed in Serial K. It sounds extremely violent. I don't quite know it is for me. I might pass this one.

[Katherine Smith]

I think that a talented author is someone who can make you feel empathy towards all of their characters even the ones that commit crimes. I liked your review and the way that you expressed your personal feelings while reading the story. I love thrillers and mystery novels, so this one sounds like the one for me.

Thank you for the great review and not giving away too much of the story. This book sounds so interesting I almost want to pick it up now and drop what I'm currently reading... But I won't! However I'm not looking forward to the gorey parts but I guess that's just part of the story.

[JazmynElizabeth]

Wow - I've never heard of a priest molestation subplot in a book before. Such a taboo subject.
Thanks for the review - I'll give it a try!

[EricaWilson]

This book sounds like the perfect thriller. I can’t wait to pick this one up!
