23rd Midnight by Maxine Paetro, James Patterson
4.0

As brilliant as I knew and hoped it would be, always a fantastic author. The narrative starts as it means to go on with violent murder after murder, in a matter of fact punchy way which gives great shock appeal and makes you sit up and take notice from the very first paragraph.
The author gives an excellent portrayal of a relentless psychopath who takes ultra violence as day to day occurrence and as easy as my making a mug of coffee, this has great impact and makes it all the more terrifying as does the, seemingly random and innocent nature of the victims. I loved how the plot evolves involving prior serial killer incarcerated in prison and the intertwined domestic abuse storyline which is sensitively handled.
All in all heart stopping, edge of the seat stuff and a satisfying ending. Thank you.
