'This author knows how to sock it to the reader' - The Times
Jody Fargo is sweet sixteen but tougher than she looks - she has to be. She's sleeping over at a friend's when the killers break in. They slaughter the family but Jody escapes, rescuing twelve-year-old Andy on the way...
Simon Quirt doesn't seem the kind of fellow who would rape and murder in the dead of night. But, together with his friends, that's just what he does. Now Simon is alone. His task is to track down the only eyewitnesses to the massacre and dispose of them. Simon just can't wait to get his hands on Jody...
So this was my very first book by Richard and I'm quite happy to say it wont be my last one either. I had never heard of Richard's books before but someone in lovers of horror group suggested to try with one of Richard's books and this one was on offer as I'm a person that if i never heard of an author i would go for the sample first then buy the book first on my kindle and I'm quite happy to say i did enjoy it all the way through and have gone onto buying some of his other books as well.
This book was written just how i like it from the murderer's point of view and the victim's view as well. its not one that goes round the houses its straight to the point and explains all what is happening and why they are doing what they do. I find the writing from Jody's view good and it really grabs you and makes you want to go and help her and Andy to get away from Simon. Love the gruesomeness of the book and how they would dispose of the bodies and how they would change themselves so nobody would notice them especially if some victims got away from them and how they would target anyone and everyone it didn't matter who they went for and where they went for them. I found Simon interesting and how he would record everything he did just so if anyone found the tapes and that then they would understand why and how it all started. And how he was the one who the others would boss around and make him feel that he shouldn't be in the gang.
This book is a big 5 stars for me and i would give me pleasure to recommend this book to everyone who ask what to read next. I'm not going to say to much on this book now but just go give it a read and enjoy it as much as i did
