The Serial Killers Club by Jeff Povey
3.0
is there a word like anachronistic that means location? like anageostic? this book was that for me. clearly the writer was British but the location was america. weird to think of high street in Chicago. it distracted me.
This was a predecessor to Dexter, in many ways. I loved the idea and having never read Jeff Lindsey (Lindsay? Linsey?) I really enjoyed the story. storytelling was good and entertaining. darkly funny which I always appreciate (how Dougie thinks he's such a ladykiller...). The ending was okay but seemed to be in a battle with itself to one up itself. but wait! there's more! ha HA charade you are...!
Overall, I'd read more of this writer but it was hard to take this work as an original after the Dexter franchise came to fruition and I found the authors' Britishisms distracting in the context of an American set novel. solid three stars.
