Stark Contrasts by Peter Carroll

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I love this author's writing style, it's very easy to follow and makes for some compulsive reading. There is underlying dark humour as well as very insightful observations on human behaviour throughout the book.

The beginning of the book grabbed my attention immediately. This book is a page turner. I found myself caught up in the story, wanting to know what would happen next. There was a lot of action and many twists and turns.

The main story revolves around a series of murders where the serial killer seems to have a need to weed out those people in society who make the world a bad place. There are letters that the serial killer leaves with each of the victims' bodies explaining why they have been killed. The letters are a nice touch because they add extra intrigue to the plot.

The book is full of interesting and believable characters. It's very cleverly written and although it's a crime novel with plenty of murder and mayhem, there is no gratuitous violence. It's well written and absorbing.

This is the first book I've read by this author but I'm sure it won't be the last. If you're a fan of crime fiction, I'd highly recommend "Stark Contrasts".
