The countdown has begun!
After having escaped incarceration, The Alphabet Killer is back in Southbridge, and he’s playing a deadly new game. Seeking vengeance and believing the system turned him into a monster, he goes on a killing spree to prove just how much of a monster he has become. While authorities race to decipher the clues left at each of his crime scenes, the killer plays a lethal game of numbers, picking off his victims one by one, and marking them in a fatal countdown on his vengeful quest to track down and kill “Victim Ø.”
They know who he is, they know who he’s after, but if they want to stop him, they’ll have to play his twisted game.

Killer By Number Book 3 of 3: The Alphabet Killer Series | by Jeff VanOudenhove I absolutely love Jeff books. I don’t think Jeff gets bragged about enough. Although I think Brittany is his biggest fan. I loved this third book so much. A must read series.

Satisfying end the the trilogy. Nice that the books were different enough not to feel repetitive but still had the same thread. But good that it ended here.

Killer By Number by Jeff Vannoudenhove Book three in The Alphabet Killer series! Let me say this first! From the first page of the First Book this series has flowed BUT I was blindsided by EVERY ENDING 😳 😱 OmG!
The Letters and daily reminders on soft Flesh!
Then THE NUMBERS 🔥 burned into different pieces of flesh, the smell letting you know He’s not playing.
This Killer has a MAP on flesh, a brutal plan and In this book HE SHOWS YOU, the FBI, the families JUST HOW capable he is of ruining your bodies and your night!!
He’s coming for YOU wether you have been BAD OR GOOD! He’s like A manic Santa Claus with DEEP ISSUES and REVENGE with his bag of GOODIES. You don’t want to see them though I promise!
He’s escaped incarceration and He’s back in HIS GAME of TERROR!
The FBI cannot figure out the clues FAST enough! Time Ticks as HE TICKS and PICKS off his VICTIMS!
Bloody and gruesome is the Fatal countdown!
Stressed and to the MAX authorities live on stale coffee and despair, their families waiting at home feverishly hoping each will return home with the sadistic KILLER on the street!
Fast paced quick turning pages, chaos and countless lives, twisting turns that has the reader shell-shocked, and curling into themselves at night making sure they are locked 🔒 up tight for the night!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars and VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Dark psychological thriller that Burns 🥵 with intensity, and an Ending that turns brilliantly!
Superb writing!

👍Multiple POVs
👍Serial Killer
👍Dark & Twisted
👍Gruesome
👍Awesome Twist
Filled with gut wrenching suspense and a sizzlingly unpredictable twist, this is a fantastic ending to an incredible series.
Big V makes me laugh in each book, she is and forever will be my favourite character of the series.
Sad it's over but so glad to have experienced it all.
Highly recommend starting with The Alphabet Killer and The Letter Man before reading this novel. It's well worth it!

I love love loved this series. I thought this was a great and creative end. I typically shy away from detective/police books as well as series, but I fell into the Alphabet Killer back when that was all it was. Super fun reads with an imaginative plot and likeable characters. Loved reading these. I'd say the grand finale was probably my favorite which was surprising to me. Well done.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ABSOLUTELY THRILLING!!! This is the 3rd book in the Alphabet Killer Series and it is still following Detective Mick Dooley as he tries to hunt down Ben Haddick! This time it is a numbers game he is playing. This is a book that keeps you turning the pages well into the night! Hook, Line & Sinker!! Fantastic job writing this one Jeff!!

Book 3 is absolutely phenomenal. The sarcasm, language, banter, and characters are perfect. The Alphabet Killer got me hooked on Jeff's writing and I have been a huge fan of his ever since. Killer By Number is such a perfect story line in this series.
I can't wait for his next release.

Finally finished the trilogy! This one kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time but I wanted more from the ending
I wanted to see more of the aftermath and how some of the characters ended up but other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it and the whole series!
