DI Matt Barnes #5
A Passion To Kill
Bodies are turning up at various dumpsites east of the city, bearing unique behavioural signature aspects that signify a serial killer is active.
DI Matt Barnes and his team on the Serious Crimes Unit are investigating the case, and are simultaneously studying the supposed suicides of two presenters and a researcher who worked on the City Crime TV show. That all three of them would take their own lives is too much of a coincidence.
With two separate multiple murder cases to solve, Matt and his squad are working against the clock yet again.
The killers have one thing in common; each has a psychological need to commit murder: a passion to kill.

About the author
Michael Kerr
88 books39 followersI write the type of original, action-packed, violent crime thrillers that I know I would enjoy reading if they were written by such authors as: Lee Child, David Baldacci, Harlan Coben, Michael Connelly and their ilk.
Over twenty years in the Prison Service proved great research into the minds of criminals, and especially into the dark world that serial killers - of who I have met quite a few - frequent.
I live in a cottage a mile from the nearest main road in the Yorkshire Wolds, enjoy photography, the wildlife, and of course creating new characters to place in dilemmas that my mind dreams up.
What makes a good read? Believable protagonists that you care about, set in a story that stirs all of your emotions.
If you like crime fiction, then I believe that 'Deadly Reprisal' and 'A Reacher Kind of Guy - Aftermath' will push all the right buttons for you.

Disappointing
Much the same as the last book. Beth and Matt are soo in love that it is cloying. The killer should have been known so much earlier and dragging it out made the cops look inept. Beth has no insight into how to deal with damaged children and has no right to be treating them. Couldn't wait to finish this, and not in a good way. I just wanted the pain to end

Great storyline again
Michael never ceases to amaze me with his writing. This book is absolutely brilliant. I can't wait for number six.
Well done Michael

A very good thriller, with familiar characters back in action in a well-handled story line. Somehow though, this one didn't excite me quite as much as the others I've read in the series.
