The Kindred Killers by Graham Smith
5.0
Watching The Bodies was a great start to a new crime series and was very much looking forward to the next in the series, The Kindred Killers. I wouldn’t say it was essential to have read the first book in the series as this does work well as a stand alone.
Graham Smith is a man who knows how to shock his readers. I thought the serial killer in the first book was twisted but the killers in this, wow! He really takes the shock factor to the next level. The way the victims get killed in this book certainly are not for the faint hearted. They were particularly gruesome yet it had me so engrossed in the whole story I really couldn’t get enough. I think I must have read this book with a series O mouth going on.
We see more of Jake and Alfonse’s working relationship and friendship which I enjoyed as Alfonse was more in the back ground in the first one. I really felt for him as to have family members killed in such a gruesome way was just horrific. Not only that, he obviously wants answers and whoever is responsible to pay for their actions. We also find out a bit more background to Jake which will definitely interest fans though I have a feeling the author still has a lot more to share with us!
The Kindred Killers is a seriously great follow up to what is already set to be a brilliant series. It’s one of those books that thrilled and excited me and that left me desperate to talk about it with other readers. For me that really is the sign of a great book. Can not wait for the next book now as the author has truly shown he is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to writing crime books.
