The killing lessons by Saul Black.

When the two strangers turn up at Rowena Cooper's isolated Colorado farmhouse, she knows instantly that it's the end of everything. For the two haunted and driven men, on the other hand, it's just another stop on a long and bloody journey. And they still have many miles to go, and victims to sacrifice, before their work is done.

For San Francisco homicide detective Valerie Hart, their trail of victims--women abducted, tortured and left with a seemingly random series of objects inside them--has brought her from obsession to the edge of physical and psychological destruction. And she's losing hope of making a breakthrough before that happens.

But the murders at the Cooper farmhouse didn't quite go according to plan. There was a survivor, Rowena's ten-year-old daughter Nell, who now holds the key to the killings. Injured, half-frozen, terrified, Nell has only one place to go. And that place could be even more dangerous than what she's running from.

In this extraordinary, pulse-pounding debut, Saul Black takes us deep into the mind of a psychopath, and into the troubled heart of the woman determined to stop him.

✮ ✮

So I have to be 100% honest here, I picked up this book totally on the title and the cover I thought it would be right up my street and after having a break from reading due to health issues and family problems that's exactly what I wanted to get back into the reading game.

When I started the book I really wanted to get into it because the storyline sounded really good but it was so so slow.

As I said the storyline was really good and in parts I really got hooked on it, wanting to know what was going to happen and why it was happening.

For me, I feel that a lot of information was left out that could have been very good added to the story, for instance, a bit more background on the killer/killers and what happened to the other victims.

I really do that this book could have been something really good but for me, it just fell that bit short of what I could have been.

If you do get this book I hope you enjoy it and leave me a comment saying what you thought.

My rating is: ✮ ✮ ✮

(3 stars)

Thank you for reading.

I liked how to story is about a love you once had can turn up at ...
