DOG ROSE DIRT BY JEN WILLIAMS – BOOK REVIEW

PUBLISHED BY HARPER COLLINS ON 22nd JULY 2021

What if your mother had been writing to a serial killer?

A convicted murderer with a story to tell.

Serial killer Michael Reave – known as The Red Wolf – has been locked in Belmarsh Prison for more than 20 years for the brutal and ritualistic murders of countless women.

A grieving daughter with a secret to unearth.

Ex-journalist Heather Evans returns to her childhood home after her mother’s inexplicable suicide and discovers something chilling – hundreds of letters between her mother and Reave, dating back decades.

A hunt for a killer ready to strike again.

When the body of a woman is found decorated with flowers, just like his victims, Reave is the only person alive who could help. After years of silence, he will speak to Heather, and only Heather.

If she wants to unearth the truth and stop further bloodshed, she’ll have to confront a monster.

Jen Williams lives in London with her partner and their small ridiculous cat. Having been a fan of grisly fairy tales from a young age, these days Jen writes dark unsettling thrillers with strong female leads, as well as character-driven fantasy novels with plenty of adventure and magic. She has twice won the British Fantasy Award for her Winnowing Flame trilogy, and when she’s not writing books she works as a bookseller and a freelance copywriter.

The first book I have read from this author and I was not disappointed, the intrigue in this flows all the way through with each chapter keeping you hooked in until the next one. Very well written with strong characters that work so well with this story. What was going on with her mother and why was she writing to a serial killer. This really was a brilliant book, I recommend you read this one.
