Book Review: The Doomsday Butcher

 


rookie FBI agent. An escalating killing spree. Can he save a small town from a madman on a rampage?

New York, 1993. Cole Chambers is determined to protect the innocent. Bent on overcoming a tragic history rooted in flames, the FBI agent relentlessly pursues justice while struggling not to surrender to his fears. But the rookie profiler finds himself tested when a murderer turns an amusement park into a gruesome display of four bloody corpses.

Linking the horrific scene to apocalyptic threats from the Book of Revelation, an alarmed Chambers works with his seasoned partner to chase down cryptic clues. But as the investigation triggers an inferno of personal trauma, the precocious agent fights an internal battle while desperately trying to predict the slayer’s twisted visions.

Can he stop a zealous killer from unleashing Armageddon?

The Doomsday Butcher is the heart-pounding first book in the Cole Chambers Crime Thriller series. If you like perfectly flawed protagonists, deep psychological conflict, and nonstop suspense, then you’ll love S.E. Stitcher’s dark mystery.



My Review

Talk about an opening scene. If I saw that gruesome merry go round, I would have nightmares for weeks. Although I was very intrigued by the murders as they were really thought out. From the victims to how they died. 

"With the new moon, comes the meteor of death"

There is a cast of characters. The local police with Chief Armstrong and Officer Fields and Agent Chambers and Agent Kozlowski. OMG the way that Chief Armstrong is so useless. All he is good for is delegating tasks to everyone, so that he has more free time to watch Days of Our Lives. Yet, Officer Fields, she is great. Agents Chamber and Kozlowski work well together. 

The group is maybe a little slow in piecing everything together as there were a couple of times that I figured it out before they did. Yet, I still enjoyed this book. The pacing is good and kept moving along. I will read the next book in this series. 

"Where the vice once sprang, a false profit draws his last breath"
