The Killer Inside Me

The Killer Inside Me was in the bargain bin and it turned out to be one of the novels that made me happy. Not that this is a happy novel, oh no. It successfully conveys the thoughts of a murderer and tells the story of how he got there. The best thing I like about it and the way it made me happy is the masterful prose. This is how you make repetition interesting (referring to Martina Cole's The Business, not as successful in that regard). Otherwise it was chilling and scary. Just the way I like my mystery novels.
