A review by mbrevesz
The Serialist by David Gordon

4.0

This book is a fun read! What I liked most about it was the characters. Harry Bloch is a writer who writes genre fiction under a variety of hilarious pseudonyms. He has a 15 year old assistant/manager/tutoring customer named Claire who runs his life and an ex-girlfriend named Jane who runs a literary magazine. When a serial killer named Darian Clay sends him a fan letter asking him to collaborate on a book, things get a little crazy. Note- this is not for the faint of heart- there is a LOT of bloody gruesomeness, but you'll end up rooting for Harry and enjoying all the twists and turns of this darkly humorous mystery.
