This was quite the page turner. Hard to believe it's a debut. 🩸
How to Get Away With Murder is a book-within-a-book type thriller. When a 14 year old girl is found murdered in London's Holland Park, one of the items found at the scene is a copy of a book called How to Get Away With Murder. The author, Denver Brady, boasts at the beginning of the book that he is "the most successful active serial killer in the Western world". Was the victim murdered by Denver Brady, or by a copycat? 🩸
We follow the investigation from the perspective of DI Sam Hansen, who is part of the team at New Scotland Yard tasked with trying to find Denver Brady, and the victims he writes about in his book. 🩸
We are also treated to chapters from Denver's book, which is basically a manual for the would-be serial killer. But are the murders Denver describes real, or just the product of a very sick mind? 🩸
I liked this a lot. There was enough suspense to keep me reading, and a cute little dog with a wonky leg that melted my heart. 🐕When things turned a little darker towards the end, I found myself hoping that this wouldn't be the last I heard from Sam Hansen. 🩸
