From the start we are introduced to the killer which of course the detectives and unaware of. This added character helps with the darkness of the killer and really makes them seem threatening. It links to the idea of dream therapy throughout the book.
I like the main detectives, I felt they were believable and human. I was pleasantly surprised when the current mystery was linked to a previous case.
Overall the case was well thought out, made sense and kept you hooked.
My reason for 8 star is just down to the ending which I felt was a little rushed and the lack of emphasis on the second killer. I actually had to flick back through the book to remember who they were.

Once again, Alice Hunter has created an intriguing story. Anna hasn't had the best start in life but she has managed to shake that off and build a good life with her husband and all is looking good until the police turn up on her doorstep to tell her that her brother is a serial killer and she may hold the key to catching him or could she be the next victim?
Written over two timelines and mostly from Anna's perspective, the short chapters make this feel fast paced and despite there not being a lot of the usual gruesome descriptions that are the norm with serial killer books, Alice Hunter uses the growing sense of tension to put you on tenterhooks and racing to find out what's going to happen. This is a great story with unexpected twists and just when you think you've got it, another one happens that turns the story on it's head.
I don't think I actually liked any of the main characters but it didn't affect my enjoyment of the book and I would recommend to those who enjoy a good serial killer book without a plethora of violence and gore and my thanks must go to Avon Books UK and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of The Serial Killer's Sister.

What would you do?
In The Killer's Family we follow the story of the 3 sisters who discovered the devastating evidence and the impact this has on their lives and their relationships with each other and then everything is turned on its head when Gemini strikes again ... and again ...
Who really is Gemini?
This is a dark story with a number of twists that I found riveting and would recommend to lovers of this genre.
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.
