    5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant read
    Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2019
    This is a debut book by a brilliant author, who dragged me into the story from the beginning.

    As it is a debut book we are introduced to the main characters early on and I really liked detective Alex Reid as he is very determined and dedicated to his job, which means that he delves deep and appears to really care about each case.

    The book teally doesn’t read like a debut and the story wqs really engaging, making me want to read one more chapter each time i picked the book up.

    The book was very believable and kept me guessing all the way through, which is one thing I love about these kinds of books.

    Overall this is a must read and I personally cannot wait for book 2.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Riveting Debut Thriller
    Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2019
    Many thanks to the author / Books n All Book Promotions for the digital copy of this psychological thriller. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

    This is a debut thriller by a self published author featuring Detective Alex Reid of the Serious and Violent Crimes Unit in Cape Town, South Africa.

    Reid and his partner, Fadi, are called to investigate the murder of a young woman. She has been horrifically tortured, skinned and scalped. Who on earth wanted this well-liked woman dead?

    There are more bodies to come .... and the killer has targeted Reid and his wife. Is there a personal connection between the two of them? The media has named the killer The Executioner.... for the monstrous way he kills his victims.

    This is a well written crime fiction with stand out characters. Reid is a lawman that really cares about the victims and their loved ones. His partner, Fadi, is of a different race and religion, yet they get along famously... maybe because Fadi is very skillful and diligent. Together they make an unbeatable team that must face off on the worst serial killer known to mankind.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant debut looking forward to more

    This is a debut thriller by Heather Opperman so I was unsure what to expect but we all love to discover new talent so I eagerly began reading.

    Detective Alex Reid is the main character. After a difficult and lonely childhood he is living happily with his wife Jaeme with Lizzie occupying the guest cottage life is good - then a body is discovered...

    Women are being abducted but apparently they are going willingly. They are tortured and killed. The victims are all different ages and the methods of their murder are also different but there is a clue that links them so the team are definitely hunting a serial killer.

    The characters are unique individuals and build in complexity over the course of the story into well rounded, realistic people. We learn about their background and personality as the investigation proceeds and there is a smattering of personality clashes that makes for a very realistic read.

    The setting is South Africa, a country I know little about, and I really enjoyed reading about the area and people.

    It is a fast paced read that had me turning page after page. A lot of victims and numerous twists and turns kept the adrenaline pumping all the way through. This is a psychological thriller in every sense of the word and ticked every single box of my criteria for a great thriller. Awesome read and I am looking forward to book 2.

    5 stars from me.
