Se7en meets The Silence of the Lambs in this dark and twisting novel from the author Jeffery Deaver called, "A talented writer with a delightfully devious mind." For over five years, the Four Monkey Killer has terrorized the residents of Chicago. When his body is found, the police quickly realize he was on his way to deliver one final message, one which proves he has taken another victim who may still be alive. As the lead investigator on the 4MK task force, Detective Sam Porter knows even in death, the killer is far from finished. When he discovers a personal diary in the jacket pocket of the body, Porter finds himself caught up in the mind of a psychopath, unraveling a twisted history in hopes of finding one last girl, all while struggling with personal demons of his own. With only a handful of clues, the elusive killer's identity remains a mystery. Time is running out and the Four Monkey Killer taunts from beyond the grave in this masterfully written fast-paced thriller.

Another entry in the annals of mediocre "thriller" genre books. No reason to read this unless you are bored and can't find a real novel. ( )

4.5 - The diary of and interactions with the serial killer absolutely made this book. Some twists were a little predictable, but there were still a few bombshells throughout the story. The dialogue was a little awkward, but the story itself made it easy to get past. I look forward to reading the next book. ( )

I usually don’t read straight up detective books, but someone recommended it to me & my curiosity about serial killers got the best of me.

It was an interesting concept, made more interesting by the chapters alternating between today and events written in a diary. I don’t know that I loved the book. The characters were not really fleshed out for me, and I’m a character driven reader. The twists were decent, but I feel like there was just something missing and I can’t figure out if it was the writing or the way all the events came together or the fact that some of those events were rather far-fetched? Something felt lacking for me. Still, it was an interesting read & the cliffhanger is making me really think about reading the next book…. ( )
