Andrew One of the best reads I've come across this year. THE KILLING CIRCLE is a tour de force, a page-turning otherworldly tale I could not put down.
Andrew Pyper, a new discovery on my to-read list, is a rare, thoroughly engaging storyteller. This book kept me flipping pages to the very end, where I was left teary-eyed and wondering about a future sequel.
Patrick Rush, a single parent to a young boy named Sam, struggles with life after the death of his wife, Tamara. Patrick fills the terrible void while trying to be a great Dad, and working nonstop as a TV critic. But what he really wants to do is write a noel. When he decides to join a writing circle, his life changes. He listens to one of the group member's writing entries, about a "fictional" character named The Sandman, kidnapping and killing young children. But when life imitates art, and real bodies start piling up, Patrick and his son soon become targets of The Sandman.
Are these strange incidences Patrick sees real? Or are they figments of his nightmares?
Well written, smart, stylish and utterly terrifying, Pyper draws you in with his lyrical, elegant prose, and leaves you slack-jawed at its spooky conclusion You'll be thinking about the story days after you finish it.
Mind-blowing and creepy, I hope the book is reissued. Any reader with a penchant for anything dark, brooding, and macabre will devour this book in a few hours. Well-drawn characters and plots and subplots that will leave you hurrying to see how the story ends, Pyper takes you on a harrowing, breathless journey.
Well worth your time spent with a good book....more
