The Christmas Killer
by Alex Pine
The Christmas Killer is the debut book of Alex Pine and first book in the DI James Walker Series. It takes place in a small Cumbrian village and features a third person narrator. I would describe this book as a slow burn whodunnit it mystery.
I thought the story would have more involvement from Andrew Sullivan who was the reason why the detective and his wife moved but there was little interaction with him. I found the storyline to be very interesting at times but I really wanted more murders because it would’ve been added more drama and suspense. I feel like the revealing of the killer was rushed although I never guessed who it was.
The only character that really stood out to me was Detective Walker because I found him to be relatable and entertaining. His wife Annie on the other hand was annoying and at times very whiny.
The Christmas Killer definitely needed a lot more murder especially since it was supposed to be 12 days and 12 victims but I would definitely be interested in reading the next book in the series to see what happens next.
I recieved an advanced copy for free, and this is my honest opinion.
