English thriller which successfully gathers speed and maintains the readers interest through to the end.
Perhaps a bit slow to begin but a creditable plot.
Nikki French is a husband and wife writing team, I wonder if Nikki writes more?

Debut thriller and a very good one.
1950’s Stalinist Russia, an MGB agent is the main character in this serial killer thriller.
What sets this apart is the way the author brings across the fear that Russian people had of the state society.
I recommend this book.
PS Based on a true story of Andrei Chikatile who was known as the butcher of Rostov. He killed 60 children and remained undetected due to the fact that the state would recognise a serial killer crime.

“Featuring the two 80 year old PCU (Peculiar crime unit) detectives is a light humoured answer to The X Files.
I’ve enjoyed others in the series more than this one.
