The Fourth Monkey

There's a new serial killer in town and he is a doozie! Chicago is used to seeing dark things ..but no one has seen the likes of this killer. It all starts with the death of a man .... who was carrying a box with an ear to be delivered to a businessman. He jumps in front of a bus and is instantly killed. Is this the 4MK killer that Detective Porter has been hunting for the past few years? This is one of those books I just could not put down for more than a couple of minutes without picking it up again. I was so eager to get to the end and then I was wishing I had read a little slower. Brilliantly written, this tale has clues within clues, games within games, and twists and turns rapid fire. The book is told basically by the Detective who is hunting the killer.... and then there's the diary found on the dead man. That in itself could be a whole fascinating book. And whatever you think you know is thrown out the window with the advent of the next chapter. Sound confusing? It is not ... it's cleverly written and the reader never loses sight of all the action. But beware ... not everyone is who they seem to be. This book automatically moves into first place of my Top Ten books of the year! Many, many thanks to the author and to Booklover Catlady publicity for the digital ARC of this novel. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

Uncommon story, thirlling and every chapter made you curious and think about what happen to the next pages. Very fun to read this. But I suggest not to read while you eat. You will lost your appetite.

If you liked Se7en or any kind of Fincher-esce visual, this is the book to read. If only this trilogy would be adopted into movie form by him or someone like it.
