An Odyssey of Murder
is a thoroughly fascinating
and compelling novel with
its insight into the mind of
a serial killer.
Book Description
An Odyssey of Murder
is both brutal and shocking,
and is sure to stun the
reader in its gravest
moments as it enters into
the mind of a serial killer
on the loose on a walking
holiday in Britain. The
magnificent scenery and the
splendour of classical music
merge in the psychopathic
world of the protagonist.
The author’s descriptions of
murder and the images of
corpses are not overtly
graphic, yet have a profound
and lasting effect. The
reader is instantly plunged
into the story at the outset
and finds himself on the
Yorkshire moors, watching
open-mouthed as the first
murder takes place. The
concluding stages, as the
net tightens around the
suspect, are similarly most
unexpected and the narrative
draws to a highly
satisfactory conclusion. The
psychological realism
recalls the compulsive power
of Truman Capote’s In Cold
Blood.
