Ew days later another victim is found dead in exactly the same circumstances As Erika and her team start digging deeper they discover a calculated serial killer – stalking their victims before choosing the right moment to strike The victims are all single men with very private lives Why are their pa 45 STARSLet's just get some perspective shall weAt the time of this review there have been 13 400 ratings and than a thousand reviews for this book that in itself is massive However after all of that the average rating for this book is 422 STARSWowSo at this stage I don't think it would matter to tell people that DCI Foster is a man posing as a woman who goes after a serial killer who is a woman posing as a man who has the same views as a drunk Mel Gibson and think the holocaust was faked for propaganda who is secretly obsessed with fetish porn but because of religious reasons feels so conflicted that heshe rather kills people than to log onto the internet And both killer and cop has a connection they share a love of Marmite Foster for the taste and the killer for fetish reasonsOF COURSE I'm fucking with you I was just wondering if you were really going to read thisHere's what to expectDCI Erika Foster is a great cop but has the tendency to overstep her bounds and rub people the wrong wayShe is in charge of the case when The Night Stalker starts killing The victims are male found naked inside their homes with drugs in their systems and a suicide bag over their headsThe victims seems to be random and clues are all but non existent Why were they chosenHow do they stop this killer who seems to be too far ahead of themAdd to that a massive heat wave and you've got a great boiling pot impending doom Okay as far as a police procedural this book has the right amount of everything you want It is not for those who likes their action in short constant burstsThe plotting was near perfect but there was one thing that niggled at the back of my head a uestion I couldn't answer from the story which prevented me from giving this 5 stars Unfortunately I can't discuss it without spoilers so I will leave it at thatOne of the best things about this story and you will have to bear with me on this one is that the final showdown was not like the final fight in a Kung Fu movie What I mean by that is it was straight forward uncomplicated and not overly elaborateA lot of writers fall into the trap yes I write it like that because it works with some stories of making this elaborate final scene where it is back and forth we kick each other's ass for four pages even though everybody knows the good guy is going to win using props and furniture and if the mood strikes maybe even the pet cat as a weapon blah blah blah Hollywood bullshitLook in the movie INDIANA JONES I hope I'm thinking of the right one AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM there is a scene where Indy has to fight this one guy in the market During shooting it was all set up as a choreographed elaborate fighting scene But that morning Harrison Ford told Stephen Spielberg that he had food poisoning and he wouldn't be able to do it He wanted to shoot something uickly so he could get back to the hotel and a bathroom What happened next became part of the amazing Hollywood historyIndy is in the market this guy faces him and makes all the expansive martial arts moves for about ten full seconds The camera cuts back to Indy who stands up straight shakes his head pulls out a gun and shoots the guyThis scene is hilarious and much better remembered by the viewers than any fighting scene would have beenThe point I'm trying to make is that simple is sometimes so much better Thank you Andrea for reminding me to get my butt in gear and read this book
