The Soul Killer: A gritty, heart-pounding crime thriller

Ever wonder how a serial killer is made ... how his .. or her .. mind works .... what they really believe? This one takes a young man from childhood to manhood .. becoming a serial killer who believes his future is worth more than your own. The killer relates some of the things that shape him ... and why he does the things he does. A particular family is really having some bad luck. Twin sisters lost their father to a suicide by hanging. Even though the sisters insist that he wouldn't have done that, there's no evidence to say otherwise. And then later, the husband of one sister is found drowned. Just bad luck? circumstance? accidents? murder? DI Barton and his team are called in to investigate. When they determine that the drowning was murder, all clues point to one suspect. But the killing continue ... and the killer is closer than they think. Two points of view .. the killer and Barton's ... make this an exceptional read. The killings intensify in their viciousness and Barton and his team race to find the killer before another body is discovered. Although second in the series, this one reads easily as a stand alone. However, I do recommend starting with The Snow Killer. This one is a page-turner with non-stop twists and turns leading to an unexpected conclusion.
