Book review: Authors show similarities in crime thrillers Lena still grieves the death of her rock-star brother David. David’s mysterious death was never solved, and Lena has never found closure. One of David’s friends is found dead and a girl believed to be his girlfriend is discovered raped and slaughtered. Lena believes that there must be a connection between her brother’s case and his friend’s murder. When more beautiful women are murdered in the same manner, Lena and Novak realize there is a serial killer on the loose. Romeo is the name given to the killer by the media. As investigations into the murders continue, Lena wonders if there is a cover-up in the police department, especially regarding her brother’s case.
This crime thriller’s exciting plot is complex and filled with graphic descriptions and violence. Actress Renée Raudman’s narration draws the listener in, and I was hooked from the beginning. Both the audiobook and regular print copies of “City of Fire” are available at the Joplin Public Library. I wasn’t aware that the novels share some similarities when I chose them. Despite the fact that McFadyen and Ellis are male, both authors do an amazing job of writing from a woman’s perspective. Their strong female characters suffer from life-altering tragedies, but are still determined to do their job of catching the serial killers. Both novels are intense, suspense-filled, edge-of-your seat psychological thrillers. Lisa E. Brown is the administrative assistant at the Joplin Public Library.
