The Ladykiller: A deadly thriller filled with shocking twists

Product Information

I loved all the characters (except the Ripper and his mother of course), especially Kate Burrows and Patrick Kelly.

I thought my wide range of crime fiction reading left me immune to feeling squeamish etc but I guess I was wrong.

It was repetitive, it gave the minutiae of life that did not interest me much, but the grander scheme had me curious. The lack of atmosphere is enhanced by the narrator who reads as though this is a children's bedtime tale. The story focuses on the Grantley Ripper, DI Kate Burrows and Patrick Kelly who is brought into the story when the Ripper murders his daughter Mandy.

There are quite a few characters in the book and it did annoy me the constant introductions to new characters throughout the book. At first they are found unscathed, but when one meets a dark end DI Kate Burrows knows the clock is ticking. It got to the point that it interrupted the flow of the book, i'd be really into a chapter and then I'd say to myself oh there it is again, how many more times is the character going to say that, do that or how often is the scene going to have the same repetitive themes!Having seen a review for a more recent book, it occurred to me that I really should delve into the world of Martina Cole, and if I was going to do this, I was going to start from the beginning. of our deliveries are made by Royal Mail as we think they give the best service and cover all areas of the UK. As I’m always looking for a new crime fiction series to follow, the first DI Kate Burrows book seemed like the best place to start. THE LADYKILLER is the first book in the DI Kate Burrows series: the only time the 'undisputed queen of crime writing' ( Guardian) and Sunday Times bestseller Martina Cole has written from the perspective of the Old Bill.

There’s very little emphasis on the investigation to start with and I don’t know why Kate Burrows is such a good DI because she hasn’t done much in relation to the crimes.Read more about the condition Very Good: A book that has been read and does not look new, but is in excellent condition.

As much as I appreciate some character building and background stories, it was far too much Kate and Pat and Dan and Lilly, I really stopped caring. It didn't make me cry, it did however have me looking behind me every five minutes whilst walking my dog haha. The Ripper is killing young women at random and then makes the mistake of raping and brutally murdering Mandy Kelly, the daughter of London gangster Patrick Kelly. Society was over the misconception by 2008 (I know, I was there), so why was Martina Cole underscoring it, saying it several times an episode? An unputdownable read that I have just spent the last two hours finishing, and that's the thing about Martina's books.Now I have to agree with other review there are a lot of repetitive words, 'they are all the same' and 'hoares the lot of them'. Yes, it was scary being in the mind of a freaking serial killer (pun intended) but then again it was fascinating: again, charity begins at home and when later on in life you don't get to unpack your childhood baggage the result might be a serial killer.
