The Santa Killer is coming to town…
One night less than two weeks before Christmas, a single mother is violently assaulted. It’s a brutal crime at the time of year when there should be goodwill to all. When DI Barton begins his investigation, he’s surprised to find the victim is a woman with nothing to hide and no reason for anyone to hurt her.
A few days later, the mother of the woman attacked rings the police station. Her granddaughter has drawn a shocking picture. It seems she was looking out of the window when her mother was attacked. And when her grandmother asks the young girl who the person with the weapon is, she whispers two words.
Bad Santa.
The rumours start spreading, and none of the city’s women feel safe - which one of them will be next?
He’s got a list. It’s quite precise. It won’t matter even if you’re nice.
Ross Greenwood is the author of crime thrillers. Before becoming a full-time writer he was most recently a prison officer and so worked everyday with murderers, rapists and thieves for four years. He lives in Peterborough.
My Opinion
The Santa Killer by Ross Greenwood is a slow-paced mystery thriller set at Christmas. The plot is good, but everything was too slow for me. The book had a great start, but you need a lot of patience to reach a conclusion. The author has given too many details for the suspects that I felt I was not interested. I chose the book thinking that it would be great to read a thriller when Christmas is just round the corner. Maybe I was expecting too much and wanted the things to speed up. Other readers can totally feel different from me. I would like to give the book 3 stars.
