I really struggled to get into this book. I tried forcing myself to keep reading but I couldn’t make it past chapter 3.
I felt that the book read like a non-fiction text and not an interesting one at that. The structure was very much “first I did this”, “then I did this because”.
I wouldn’t recommend.

This one wasn’t really my favorite book. I think it’s misleading. I expected it to be creepy but it wasn’t. The book isn’t bad though. It just wasn’t for me.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my review. Thank you NetGalley.

this is a short, easy read full of amazing twists. I got through this book in one sitting and would definitely read it again.

I really liked this book, it was a quick read, kept me guessing with twists and turns with plenty of action especially being a short book. Well worth the time to read!

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to preview the Slaying of the Innocents by Robert Dustman. A police officer moves his family from NYCity to Washington State. He's looking for more quiet time, peacefulness, and overall lack of stress.
But he's not too lucky because just when he arrives there is a series of grisly murders that appear to be systematically done with archaic death tools.
As the bodies pile up, the suspect lists does too.
Will they find the killer or will someone close to him be the next victim.
2.5 stars - Fast read, but i did find some of the plot hard to follow - too many unnecessary characters. I think the premise is good, and needs more re-writing.

A twenty-year veteran NYPD Detective Sergeant relocates to a comfy small town in Washington State, where no murder has occurred in a decade.


Until now--suddenly citizens of all ages are being brutally murdered in bloody rampage. The weapon: a medieval flail, wielded by killers dressed in dark robes. These senseless slayings are seemingly unsolvable--and why occur in this particular timeframe?
