marilynsaul's review against another edition
4.0
Much better than "The Rasp" (I'm reading a collection of three novels by MacDonald). Murder Gone Mad is fast-paced, a great "who-done-it), and not overly burdened by endless unnecessary drivel (as in The Rasp).

I wanted so much to like this, and it has very highly praised reviews, but I must admit to finding myself utterly bored by it. My mind wandered off and I spent a long time wishing I was at the end, so that when it finally happened it was a massive relief.
The story revolves around an unknown killer named 'The Butcher' who is murdering innocent women under the eyes of the law. The story seeks to unmask the killer.
Just very long and drawn out and I can't say I found any pleasure it the book whatsoever.

This book is by FAR the worst detective I have read so far. I could not finish it because of the horrible writing style. I do not understand how this got popular??? Like, some books have some redeeming qualities, or at least make you think: "yes, I can see why some people love it", but this one was just incredibly annoying, wow!
The story was boring, the writing style horrible and I don't DNF books frequently, this is only my second book this year that I did DNF, but wow, I don't think I will read anything by this author ever again.
