A review by ljutavidra
The Serialist by David Gordon

4.0

So, this would get all 5 stars if the whole story didn't turn out so gross and disturbing in the end (and this is coming from a person who usually reads stuff like that). When I read the blurb at the back, I imagined this Photo-killer to be a regular killer, but this was far more deranged then I thought it would be. Definitely not a book for everybody. I appreciated the humour and passages about writer's struggles, and I liked the first half much more. There were a couple of unnecessary plot twists at the end, but I just wanted to be done with this book at that point. The murder mystery really didn't do anything for me, just spooked me out, and I feel that I would like this much more if it was only about Harry's writing career and little everyday anecdotes.
