This book is about an extremist group with violent and gender biased ideologies. The men calling themselves the lady killers target powerful woman including the wife of a private investigator who works in the federal government.

The book sounds like a nice crime thriller. I like it that the book involves exquisite description of various scenes and settings. Superb characters' introduction and development is another strength of this book. However, I'm not a fan of this genre. Otherwise, congrats on the BOTD!

This will be an interesting read. I hope Max gets to uncover the mystery before the lady killers get to his family. How can you want women to remain in their place in this era? And such a gross way of putting across their point. I hope to find out the reasons behind these. I would love to read the book. Great review, thank you.

A ladykillers army sounds interesting and controversial. I am rooting for Max and friends to figure out what is going on with this group just from your review. I am a big fan of crime thrillers. Thanks for the great review.

This book seems to bring people who are male chauvinists and want to demote strong women in order to keep them under their control. It's a deep and complex theme with some detailed descriptions of violent scenes, so I don't know if it is for me, but congrats on BOTD for the author. Thanks for the informative review!

An intriguing element lurks in this plot as there is a hint of the involvement of the KGB in the series of murders with the help of LLA.

This honestly isn’t my type of book to read. However I feel the plot could be more interesting. Or maybe it gets more interesting in the book I don’t know. I wonder what the synopsis is like because even if the book might have a typical mystery of the synopsis is attention grabbing then anyone would pick it up to read.

The summary got me in, but the precautions for the readers make me think twice. I like how detailed you wrote on the book's synopsis. Though I'm not into politics, but a leadership from the point of view of women seem interesting.

The fact that the authors chose incels as their villains is more than enough reason to read this book. Many mass killers are incels, so a terrorist group of incels could very easily become a reality. The woman hating group in this book targets congresswomen.

Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

This exciting thriller has an American terrorist group planning to kill female politicians. This sounds like events happening in the United States today. Congratulations to the authors for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your interesting review.

Crime thrillers are not books that I enjoy, so I will likely pass. But the idea of having a group that murders female government leaders is an interesting concept for those readers looking for a spicy suspense novel. Congrats to the author on BOTD! :)

It definitely has a new twist to it. At the moment, a suspenseful crime book isn't able to whet my appetite. I do however want to thank you for such a wonderful review in describing the book. I'm really glad that you enjoyed it so much.

Based on the sample and on your review, this sounds intriguing. Interesting when you write that they have to determine the innocence of the victims, and that the KGB might be involved.
