I thought The Serial Killer's Wife was good but Alice Hunter has really turned up the heat for The Serial Killer's Daughter . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader Review Scarily believable – what does go on behind closed doors? It's such a twisty, addictive read, and brilliantly written – highly recommended.' Elisabeth Carpenter

For Jane breaking away meant changing everything, especially er name which then became Jennifer. She went to veterinarian school and became a vet, married Mark and had two children far away from the clutches of her mother, Claire. Life seemed to have allowed her a measure of comfort but then she learns her husband had an affair with Olivia, a woman in their neighborhood.Can she help solve Henry’s riddle with DI Walker before it is too late while her life is falling apart all around her? But... that aside. I loved this book. It kept me wondering what was going to happen next and I love all of the flaws that the characters have. How they've been fooled or duped by the serial killer's daughter's dad... and how some of them loved him anyway!! In a sleepy Devon village, a woman is taken from the streets. Local vet Jenny is horrified. This kind of thing doesn’t happen here. You’re meant to know family the best, but what if the man you know as Dad isn’t the man you believe he is and then you discover that you’ve been shielded from his true nature and even then, no one actually knows the true extent of this man’s personality. Anna finds out he has killed five women, will probably kill the next one in four days, and they need her help finding Henry before he gets to his next victim. Maybe the next victim will be Anna?

I should immediately warn you I believe the author's characterization of Suzanne's father is so powerful you feel his presence everywhere, like an ominous shadow you can't see but know deep down in your heart that is following you. Don Tyler is one of the strongest and most captivating protagonists I have ever encountered in a story. I often wished I could put him in a glass cage and observe him, have a clear view of his mind and what the hell could bring such a man to act the way he did. Then I wanted to dissect him to find where and when his genes or brain wires had gone wrong! And I scared myself with those crazy thoughts that were triggered by this man's actions. Scarcely had I felt so strongly about a serial killer to the point I wanted to spill his guts and see how rotten he was!!! His death never takes away the influence he seemed to have on people, starting by Suzanne's mother, or the woman he was living with, Rose. Alive victims of a monster. Well, I must admit I’ve never asked myself the question “what would I do if I found out my dad was a serial killer?” but that’s exactly the situation Suzanne finds herself in. Would I recommend this book? I would. It’s dark, edgy and unexpected. I love a book where the body count is high and it certainly is in this one thanks to Don’s ‘talents’. All in all, a great read which I heartily recommend to all serial killer thriller fans. In fact, I would go as far as saying that this is one fans of the serial killer thriller should not miss! Right at the outset it becomes clear that this is going to be a gruesome tale .. the title kinda gives it away. I can’t imagine how Suzanne felt when she finally realises what her estranged father was. After meeting Rose who had lived with Don she gives Suzanne a collection of photos and his secret diaries. Although the title The Serial Killer's Daughter is actually sort of a spoiler of what is to come, there is no doubt that this story is a well written character-driven psychological thriller with a sublime character development. The pace is a bit slow and there might not be as much action as you would suspect there to be in a serial killer thriller, but the story is full of twists and the characters more than make up for it. You will be able to meet one for the most twisted and creepy serial killers I've encountered with to this date and get to know him (almost too) intimately; definitely the stuff nightmares are made from.I am going to go all in and say The Serial Killer’s Wife is one of the best books of 2021.’ Frost Magazine Call me weird, but mention a serial killer and I instantly want to read your thriller. So mention one in the title and I'm sold as soon as I first hear about it... And that is exactly what happened when I saw The Serial Killer's Daughter mentioned. One of my absolute all time favorites (hint: Jasper Dent) features the son of a serial killer, so having another story focus on the child of a 'monster' had me hooked instantly. Now I've read The Serial Killer's Daughter, I do have to say that it's the first time that the title is actually a spoiler for me. Why? As much as it was what first peaked my interest, I would have liked not knowing the dad was a serial killer beforehand and it takes away some of the suspense around Don's character. The character development in this psychological thriller is sublime though and this is without doubt one of the most twisted serial killers I've encountered with. I liked that it's not just about the killer and both the daughter and other characters play an important role in the story. There are some very dark and gruesome details in certain parts of the story, so beware if you are sensitive to those. They fit remarkably well in the story though and it only adds to the description and characterization of an extremely violent, arrogant sociopath and manipulator. The pace is a tad slow and there is less action that I would have expected, but the focus in The Serial Killer's Daughter is on the characters instead and the plot is without doubt very twisty. I love any type of book, TV programme or film with a strong female lead, and that’s exactly what we have here with Suzanne Tyler and also her Mum, Joan, who raised Suzanne on her own and had the ability to see off Don Tyler’s violence time and time again. I was unsure about Suzanne to begin with as she did seem like a bit of a wallflower, but as her character develops the reader sees how she holds the same tenacity as her mother and the same razor-sharp cunning her manipulative father held. Then a policeman appears at Anna’s door: her estranged brother Henry is a wanted serial killer, and the police need Anna’s help to catch him before he strikes again. We meet Anna, who is happily married and works as a teacher at an exclusive private school. The police visit her and let her know that her brother Henry is a serial killer and has been killing for a few years on 2 dates every year. Anna is obviously surprised and this sets off a string of events that basically ruins Anna life. Not thinking straight she tells a child off and this is caught on CCTV and Anna realises that someone is out to get her.

But I did feel sorry for Suzanne she is a strong character. Imagine finding out that your dad was a serial killer that is the unthinkable. There are some human beings in this world who have absolutely no redeeming features and Don is such a creature. The twisted way his mind and actions dominate this story makes it an addictive read. First of all I have to say...That cover! After seeing that I couldn't wait to read The Serial Killer's Daughter which is exactly what it says on the title….A dark and warped story about Suzanne Tyler who’s life changes the day she meets Rose Anderson and is given a series of secret diaries and eight photographs of women. One of the photo’s is her friend Sophie who died in a fire 10 years ago. The big question is why did her Dad Don have that photo when he only met her once. We follow Suzanne on a twisted rollercoaster ride to find out the truth.And when I say twisted I mean twisted! There are descriptions in this story that made me cringe. But Don wouldn't be the bad guy if that didn't happen, he is one very evil character. Suzanne’s life changes when she receives a visit from Rose, who’s been living with Suzanne’s estranged father for the past two years. Rose brings news of Don’s death and wants his daughter to have his possessions. These include diaries and photographs of various women. One of whom is Sophie, Suzanne’s friend who died years ago in a fire. But as far as Suzanne knows, her father only met Sophie once. So why does he have a picture of her? Who are all these other women? And what secrets are hidden in the diaries?I really wish I could tell Lesley that she’s written a brilliant twisted thriller that I have really enjoyed and I would have loved to have read more from her.
