The Ladykiller: A deadly thriller filled with shocking twists

Product Information

Near the end of the book, I even got the feeling that Cole was trying to explain to the reader why all humans "enjoy" seeing death, reading pornography, etc. Overall though it was an excellent read, it flowed really well and, as you expect from Martina is not just a rushed story, but one full of history and detail. Having said that, I highly recommend this book to everyone as it is certainly one of the best thrillers I have ever read. Always an attention seeker from childhood, fabricating imaginary illnesses, Grantham-born Beverly Allitt studies nursing, and, due to staff shortages, obtains a job in a local hospital, where she is well-regarded.

She met Fred West, a man who had already killed two girls, and, with Rose,would kill ten more,usually lodgers at their house but family members too. All characters brought to life by Ms Cole in this thriller are multi-dimensional, realistic people with a background.The ending of the final chapter was a bit like 'oh right that's it, oh right' but my boyfriend said maybe it'll lead on in Broken (which i haven't read yet) but it did seem the last chapter had this build up of 'what will happen to these characters' to be quickly ended on the final page. Some of the things he did were horrific and the dead baby was just awful and probably not necessary.

In 1896 she was hanged for the murder of Doris Marmon, a child in her care, but is suspected of having killed many more infants. Some parts are so annoyingly repetitive, which only make the book way too thick than it should be, but do not help to improve the plot at all. There are quite a few characters in the book and it did annoy me the constant introductions to new characters throughout the book. I thought my wide range of crime fiction reading left me immune to feeling squeamish etc but I guess I was wrong.

Here she kills four children and attempts to injure another nine, for which she is put away in a secure hospital for life. I found this book really boring and the narration was like something out of "Eastenders" so many London cliche phrases stuffed into one book. And when she falls victim to the sadistic rapist nicknamed the Grantley Ripper, Kelly wants revenge, with or without police help.
