Once again, Gallagher pens a story that grabs you from the beginning and will not let you go.
Serial K was an exciting book to read, but if I wasn't already a fan of crime stories I don't think I would have liked it that much. GOD bless this brilliant Author! :tiphat:

I like the the Story, and especially how it explains on the effects of not giving proper parental care to children. I like stories on Serial killers. It is a good Book.

Very interesting premise. I find reading thrillers such as this book easier and not so frightening as seeing them in theaters. I also like how the author has brought in a few different plot lines and characters to develop the story more.

I like reading the book. I read and watch a lot of criminal and romantic shows. This book about Breedlove shows us how a criminal mind plans and how activities is planned based on experiences a person goes through.Maybe if Breedlove wasnt abused by the priests he wouldnt have turn out into a mental and psychotic killer.

I've always read crime mystery books. I also watched series about solving crimes and this kind of reminds me about Criminal Minds wherein they set up profiles to catch serial killers. This actually interested me. Would want to grab a copy of this. Thanks for the great review!

It is like one of those stories where you don't like the main character but still follow the story to see how it ends. I the title Serial K

It was hard to get past the cover of the book as it reminded me of the movies with ‘Jason’. However, the review makes the plot seem more interesting than I thought. After reading the review, I think I will still skip this book because I like to work through the probalems with the detective. When the detective follows a hunch without any rhyme or reason, It looses a little bit of the realistic feel.

I like thrillers a lot, especially those who make you think all the time and keep you on the edge of your seat in awe and anticipation of what is going to happen next. I believe "Serial K" is the perfect example of such kind of books. It's OK for me that the author didn't describe the positive main characters of the book in detail, I think the main focus was supposed to be on the serial killer and his development or it's better to say his degradation.

Yeah, not really one for this genre or crime stories but I like the characters I read about so far, for one Breedlove, still taking out time to appreciate the beauty of his surroundings, it's actually funny and fascinating to me. I guess I'd have to read it entirely to say if it was worth it for me or not.

I enjoy reading about crime, especially murders, its my favourite genre actually. As I was reading the review, I felt like it compares to a Criminal Minds episode. You see the killer do their thing, the profilers can pull information out of nowhere and have this huge profile. I feel reading a book with the same issues will take away a lot of the enjoyment, however I did like the preview I was able to read. I'm really glad you enjoyed the book! Thanks for your honest review!
