The Fourth Monkey by J.D. Barker
The Fourth Monkey by J.D. Barker










Having been chasing a serial killer for over five years, Detective Sam Porter is well acquainted with (the most acquainted) the guy. When the second box arrived, then the third, and finally the body, others saw too. He had been there for the first box, recognizing it immediately for what it was-the start of a serial killer’s deranged spree. Porter was the only one who had seen it through from the beginning. Most of the chapters are relatively short and it made it feel like I was breezing through the book! With sound writing and excellent flow, I was able to fly through this book and there wasn’t a single moment where my eyes weren’t the size of dinner plates. You wouldn’t suffer the long wait, until you return to that POV, though. It was riveting for sure, you kept wondering what would happen next, but it was too busy jumping back into a character’s POV many of which the chapters would often leave on a cliffhanger. The ending, I kind of anticipated, although just based on the blurbs of each book in the trilogy, you could guess what happens in the end (at least for book 1) For me, I didn’t focus too much on the story, so the slight predictability didn’t bother me. There was a good plot as well and for the most part, it was pretty exciting with a good deal of twists in it. This was an engrossing book that focused deeply on the characters. That was such a treat of a book, my heart is still pounding! I don’t know where to begin with the review.
