The Killer’s Christmas List

If you think The Killer's Christmas List is going to be a cosy mystery, think again. It's a police procedural that has everything a police procedural should have; a maverick detective, a serial killer, and a few dead bodies dotted around Tyne and Wear.
There are plenty of twists and the occasional red herring all of which are guaranteed to keep the reader guessing.
The Killer's Christmas List is a good read. Unfortunately, I didn't find any of the characters likeable, which spoiled it a little for me.
