Reviews

Praise for The Fifth to Die: ‘J.D. Barker is a one-of-a-kind writer and that’s a rare and special thing. Stephen King comes to mind and Lee Child, John Sanford. All one-of-a-kinds. Don’t miss anything J.D. writes.’ James Patterson ‘Superbly paced, beautifully constructed evocation of evil’ Daily Mail ‘A gritty thriller that gets right under your skin’ HEAT ‘Chillingly written’ Woman ‘Barker spins a serpentine and sometimes gruesome
tale… Sparse and cinematic, the pages fly by.’ Press Association Praise for J.D. Barker: ‘The Fourth Monkey has one of the most ingenious openings that I’ve read in years. This thriller never disappoints.’
James Patterson ‘Superbly constructed and immaculately paced, this is one of the few serial killer thrillers that bears comparison with Thomas Harris’s 1981 masterpiece Red Dragon.’
The Daily Mail ‘A talented writer with a delightfully devious mind.’
Jeffery Deaver ‘Not since Hannibal Lecter had a friend for dinner has a serial killer been so skillfully rendered on the page.’
Taylor Elmore, Writer/Producer of Justified and Limitless ‘A labyrinth of madness and a macabre charnel house of mirrors, The Fourth Monkey is a 1st-rate, devilish thriller.’
Eric Rickstad, New York Times bestselling author of The Names Of Dead Girls ‘Gripping, addictive, and devilishly clever. From its opening salvo The Fourth Monkey grabs you and never lets go. J. D. Barker is a stunning new talent.’
