Why read it?

1 author picked Headhunter as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It was hard to pick a book in Michael Slade’s Special X series, as the first few books work together like a symphony. I’ve always been fascinated with serial murder, like so many people who get into psychology.

This book sets up a twisted narrative and a shocking ending that sets the stage for more surprises in the books that follow. I’d let the series drop after one particular loop got closed, but I'm looking forward to picking it up again soon!

From Christopher's list on horror that will keep you up at night.
