It took me long enough but I finally decided to finish reading the finale of one of the most intriguingly plotted stories I've read. Okay... okay... it's simple and I give him that, but deep down, for once, its the plot that is the star of the show, the planning, the execution.

Besides the genre, it isn't something I'd typically love to read, but for this, I strike that clean.

Absolutely fantastic and easy to read. Check my blog to find out more!!

To me this is the best from the trilogy. I particularly like the split personality Dermott-Norman-Albert and it's very clever plot. I was quizzical, desperately trying to figure out why Dermott kidnapped all the 12 victims (with horrific and gross ways, as usual) but then kept them alive in the cellar. Answers were given after about 70% of reading progress; so be patient! Fret not, the story is well gripping too. But too bad, there's no ending on our Miss Clever Liz Porteous side.

If nothing else this book makes you think about how much info you put on facebook. Well worth reading but a bit graphic and gruesome in places. A unique storyline that is different from anything else I have read except for perhaps good old Dexter.

Not the best of the trilogy.
At times it seemed that the author had an idea for the ending to the trilogy, but no real idea how to get the character to the final section.

In need of better proofreading and copyediting. Far too many typo's and missing words, at times detracting from the flow of the story.

Fantastic

From start to finish just superb. Brilliant writing. Just one whinge! I've finished it. I could have read every night for the next year and would still have been enthralled

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 Three sees serial killer Dermott Madison, after having spent years in a psychiatric prison for his brutal and gruesome murder spree, released and on his final hunt and revenge attack on his wife and daughter’s killer.

After years in prison Dermott, Norman and Albert plan their revenge on Hamid. He has already killed his friends and family and plots to seek his ultimate revenge and now kill the man himself.

While Dermot and his “friends” have been locked up, Hamid has done quite well for himself owning a large portfolio of clubs and properties and by drug trafficking. When Norman Johnson is released the “rage” is now on the loose again and Dermott with the help of his “friends” must track down Hamid, destroy his life and ultimately deliver Hamid’s final punishment, a slow, grusesome and very painful death before the police can close in.

Overall, this is my favourite of the series (although without the first 2 it would have made no sense). Dermott is back to social media to track down his targets to get to Hamid and although at first it made no sense why his was choosing his targets about halfway through I did figure why before it was revealed.

The Finale, at first, is quite hard to keep track of Dermott’s friends but that soon passes. After reading the first two parts I couldn’t see how the story could progress without rehashing the same plot but M. L. Stewart has managed to pull it out with a very imaginative plot especially the ending and does keep you guessing until the very last page.

The Facebook Killer as the whole three parts is definitely worth a read. As long as you don’t mind an imaginative story and loss the mind-set of “that couldn’t happen” if real life, you are in for a thrilling and brilliant read. But be warned some of the torture scenes are quite gruesome.

A very exciting read with an imaginative and clever plot. A novel that has you willing the serial killer to achieve his goals.

Closing my FB Account now ..

Excellent series read all 3 in a weekend really imaginative ways to die in the story..... A bit of a gory black comedy, not sure that was supposed to be the case! Would recommend a cracking read....so why not 5 stars? Lots of grammatical errors! Lots and lots and missing words...really needed a good proof read before publication!! If you can get past that then its a great little story.

It wasn't until 70% of the way through things really unravelled. You find put about the pins etc. The ending was brilliant in true Dermott style! Really glad I came across these books now, the author gets a firm pat on the back from me :D

I absolutely loved all 3 of these books. each offers something different but each one carries on from the other. I love the way the main character talks about his masks as if they are completely different people. it has a sad but happy ending. I really enjoyed these books and will read them again!!

Was interesting to see the illness unfold but to far fetched, scary to see how much information we leave behind thought

By far the best and most twisted of the books. Great read.
