Kanibal z Nine Elms

Wow, what a cracker of a book.

From the opening chapters you are thrust head first into the action and are met with a gruesome murder scene. What was so surprising was that within those early few pages the serial killer was identified. not what I was expecting but a welcomed addition to this extraordinary thriller.

The story then moves on fifteen years from the incarceration of the serial killer. I absolutely loved this first twist, it not only hooked me but left me wanting more. I needed to know the direction the book was going and I loved it.

The fact that we meet the killer in prison, meet his mother and his ‘fan' was such a thrilling concept, especially as they are plotting his escape.

What Bryndza does best is keep his reader captivated by his brilliant writing and unexpected twists and turns. His characters are vibrant, realistic and definitely provoked emotion from me.

I particularly enjoyed the settings portrayed in the novel. Having spent all of my childhood in and around South London, Crystal Palace Park was a great location for the crime scene. Bryndza's description of the park was spot on and really resonated with me. Having moved to the West Country a few years ago I could really visualise where Kate was now living and the locations of the murders.

If you are looking for an intense thriller, with a cannibal serial killer then look no further, Nine Elms is definitely the book for you. It is gutsy, fast-paced and an unpredictable read.
