The Killing League By Dani AmesThe Killing League by Dani Ames is a dark American crime thriller that has shades of a James Patterson or Thomas Harris novel. Set in modern day America, a group of active serial killers are requested to join “The Killing League” by a series of invitations from “The commissioner” and if the killers don’t agree to his invitation then the authorities will know about each person private little hobby. Wallace Mack is retired FBI profiler who has made it his mission to track down and bring to justice serial killers, but although Wallace is retired he is still profiling and tacking potential serial killers and feeding information back to his former collogue in the bureau Ellen Reznor. Mack became romantically involved with Nicole Candella one of the former victims of a serial killer but that later fizzled out as she was just too scared by her ordeal to really trust again especially another man. The serial killers are all presented with there individual targets with each round becoming harder and each potential victim becoming a more worthy opponent for the serial killers aiming to become the best of the best. Wallace soon discovers that some of the serial killers he’s been tracking have suddenly changed there pattern and move locations around the country, Wallace soon discovers that there is a Killing League and he and his former Girlfriend are the grand prizes of the commissioners sadistic game. This is a fast paced well written crime story that at times I felt was quiet gruesome and probably not the best choice of read late at night or on the daily commute into work lol, all that said I would say this is a very good book that is well worth reading if this is your sort of thing. I would also say if you do read this then stick at it as it does get better and better each chapter so don’t be put off if your not hooked right away. Amazon.co.uk Goodreads |
