NOW THE HIT 2020 MOVIE THE POSTCARD KILLINGS STARRING JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN AND FAMKE JANSSEN

Murder is on the cards...

NYPD detective Jacob Kanon is on a tour of Europe's most gorgeous cities. But it's not for pleasure: every museum, every cathedral, every cafe is seen through the eyes of his daughter's killer.

Kanon's daughter, Kimmy, and her fiance were murdered while on holiday in Rome. Since then, young couples in Madrid, Salzburg, Amsterdam, Berlin, Athens and Paris have been found dead. Nothing connects the murders other than a postcard sent to the local newspaper prior to each attack.

Now Kanon teams up with the Swedish reporter, Dessie Larsson, who has just received a postcard in Stockholm - and they think they know where the next victims will be...

Ratings and reviews

Another enjoyable book by James Patterson, just like one of his other books I'd read previously "Swimsuit" the story starts strongly, really sucking you in. Like the book before it though it does fall a little flat towards its ending. Jacob & Dessie are both very likeable characters though, deserving their main character status completely. If I had to compare this book to a movie? I think that at times it kind of reminded me a little bit of "Funny Games" I really am looking forward to watching the film adaptation of this story.

I'm sure it'll be good for movie, but for a novel, the ending is predictable.

Really enjoyed this book! It has kept me up many a night.
