My Thoughts:
How To Read a Killer’s Mind is the latest novel by Tam Barnett, published by Boldwood and currently FREE on Kindle Unlimited.
I was immediately drawn to the book by the blurb above, just the mention of serial killers grabs my attention and when you add the darkly witty humour, then I am literally drooling with anticipation of a fun, entertaining book.
Dr Emy Rose is the main character and narrator of this story. She’s sarcastic, emotionally unstable, rather unethical and unconventional.
Working on a secretive government project, Emy’s mission is to coax confessions from convicted serial killers and uncover the locations of their hidden victims. However, she isn’t just doing this for justice – she has a personal motive which the reader slowly finds out about throughout the chapters.
If you enjoy morally complex characters, twisty plots, and a touch of dark humour, this book is well worth your time.
Recommended for fans of: Bella Mackie, Katy Brent, Alex Michaelides, and true crime narratives like Mindhunter.
