Lucky Number 11 by Jess Kitching
5.0
Lucky Number 11 is a standalone psychological thriller by author Jess Kitching. This book was my first read by this author and it truly left a lasting impression. The story revolves around Hannah Allen who ten years after narrowly escaping the clutches of a serial killer is just trying to live her life and recover from the horrific encounter. Her carefully crafted life is upturned when a body bearing the same signature, she knows all too well is discovered prompting Police to question if a copy cat killer is picking up where the last killer left off.
Narrated mostly from Hanna’s POV, the story also offers glimpses into the mind of other characters including the Police detective and the killer themselves. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat as you try to uncover the truth behind this chilling mystery. With an array of potential suspects and cleverly placed red herrings this story offers up a puzzling mystery that will keep you guessing. I had a lot of fun trying to guess the truth only to be blind sided upon the final reveal.
What sets this book apart is the realistic depiction of trauma and the devastating impacts on the lives of those who survive such horrors. Its easy to relate to the characters presented here and feel a strong sense of empathy for them.
I can say that I will certainly be exploring more of this authors books in the future and will keep an eye out for future releases. I’d highly recommend this gripping tale of horror, trauma and suspense.
