Had to swiftly purchase for my Kindle after finishing the first part. Very good until the end which felt as though the author had reached his word count or his deadline as it was unsatisfyingly hurried after the build-up of the story.
A really short review on this one too, but here you go at last everyone! It's about time I updated properly~
it is truly a great, simple, easy and fascinating read though, and well, I recommend it if you've been on a bit of a reading go slow and fancy something quick and easy to hop into!
The Facebook Killer is a murder novel in three parts about a man who loses his family and takes revenge in Hannibal Lecter-style.
The Facebook Killer Part Two sees serial killer Dermott Madison travel to Pakistan, Mexico and back to England in his search to kill the friends and family of the man who murdered his wife and daughter and escaped justice on a technicality.
Having already 11 or 12 people Dermott and Albert head to Pakistan to kill the last 5 family members. After his search and murder of 3 family members, including killing one by way of suicide, he is at loss to find the last 2 apples (apples are what Dermott calls his victims). He finds them working onboard a cruise ship that sees him travel to Mexico to finish the last kills before heading back to England to finally end his revenge.
Overall, while I didn’t find the part two as fast paced and gruesome as part one it was still and enjoyable read bringing a conclusion to Dermott’s revenge mission. Dermott’s use of social media, gangsters and killing methods make for a great story and thrilling read.
very easy read! part 1 was great as it used facebook lots. part 2 just finishes off the story, but has no facebook references. all in all, I enjoyed it, but think it could have made more of facebook side of things.
Just as good as part one. Just don't take it too seriously it's completely OTT but who cares! It moves along so quickly that I've finished it in two days! I'm looking forward to more stories by ML Stewart.
A really good read, although it comes in two parts it does not detract from the story. This is a story of loss and revenge and how far a person is prepared to go to reach their goal. Will make anyone think twice about who their facebook friends are.
The only thing that stopped me giving this a 5 was the ending. It's taken two books to get to this point and then it's all wrapped up in a few pages. Could definitely have done with a few more pages....or is that what book 3 is all about?? Let me see !!
Good solid bridge to bring the start and middle together. What I like about these books is the story is one big continuous piece not just books in a series.
