Today it is my turn on the blog tour for The Santa Killer by Ross Greenwood
Book Review
The Santa Killer by Ross Greenwood
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to Rachel's Random Resources and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
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.
My Opinion
This is the first book I have read in the DI Barton series but this can easily be read as a standalone. The drama starts straight away and I found it far too easy to read this book in one sitting. There are plenty of suspects in the aftermath of the attack and many red herrings which make for a very suspenseful read.
I really enjoyed this and cannot believe that I have not read any of the earlier books in the series - I will need to be on the lookout for those.
Rating: 4/5
