Anna and her brother Henry were brought up in a children’s home but lost touch with one another after leaving there. Now her brother is suspected of being a serial killer and the police are hoping she can help them trace him.
This is compulsive reading. I often think I can see what’s coming but I didn’t in this one..
I’d previously enjoyed The Serial Killer’s Wife and this didn’t disappoint

4.5 stars.

Thank you to Netgalley, Alice Hunter and Avon publishing for the advance copy to review.

Having read the other two in the series I was so excited to get a copy of this to read.

It did not disappoint. Super fast paced story told in dual timelines of then and now. We follow the story of Anna as her brother Henry plays a game of cat and mouse. Will Anna be the next victim?

Did not see the twists coming at all!!!

Excellent writing, enjoyable read. Would definitely recommend.

Anna Price left her life behind her when she ran away from a brutal orphans home, leaving her brother to fend for himself.
She built a good life: was married to a loving man, had a great job, was very well liked and a highly respected teacher in a private school. Everything was good.
Until it wasn't.
Until the notes with riddles started appearing - just like the ones her brother Henry used to write her when they lived in the orphans hall.
Until women started being killed and police came to her when they thought they knew who it was.
Until she became the sister of a serial killer.
Riveting suspense and totally believable characters.
Wonderful twists and turns👍

I read this in one day because I was so hooked on it. This book is part of a series, but you don't have to read the other books to understand this one. The author does an amazing job at leading the reader to thinking that they know what's going to happen but then dropping a plot twist at the least expected moment. There is a good exploration of morally gray characters. Overall, this is an amazing thriller that will keep you on the edge on your seat from the first page to the very last.

I still have chills down my spine!
Alice Hunter is such a clever writer undoubtedly due to her professional experiences as an interventions facilitator in a prison, and part of a team offering rehabilitation programmes to men serving sentences for a wide range of offences, often working with prisoners who'd committed serious violent crimes.
I am so grateful that professionals like this turn to writing books based on their experiences as it opens your eyes to a world we simply can't start to imagine or comprehend unless you have experienced it. Indeed, these criminal minds are for most part a sad product of our society and failures to take care of individuals during their impressionable young years. This professional knowledge from Alice Hunter makes some gripping reading and very insightful right to the last chapter of the book.

Thank you NetGalley and Avon Books UK for the copy of The Serial Killer’s Sister by Alice Hunter. I was looking forward to this book because I read and enjoyed Hunter’s previous book. I really liked this one too, but I didn’t like Anna. I didn’t understand why Anna kept going against police advice and blatantly lied to them. Maybe she thought she was saving herself, but it was annoying. The story was suspenseful and well-paced and I liked how the past timeline threw light on what was happening in the present. The ending was disappointing to me because it went on and on with a lot of explanation of what the killer had done. I really wish it had all been included as part of the story instead of torturing us with how the killer staged his victims. The very end came out of nowhere and didn’t even ring true. If you love surprising twists, you will love this book. The first twist didn’t even surprise me. Thank goodness this book is more than twists-it’s an addictive, fun read! 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

What a book, what a series, I hope everyone reads these ‘The Serial Killer’s….’ Series.

This book was just like the others, fast paced, twisty and an addictive read.

I found myself wanting to read it fast just so to find out what was going on. I didn’t see the twists coming and they are mind blowing! 🤯!

Told in Anna’s POV, it flits between present and past with her history with Henry.

I don’t want to say too much without giving any of the storyline away.

A very cunning and gripping thriller that I recommend for anyone to read.

Thanks to Netgalley and Avon Books for this early release copy.

This book will be released 11th May 2023!

This was very hard to put down once I started reading it due to the fast pacing of the story and how invested I became in the outcome for Anna. The twists and turns that we were lead through with her were perfectly choreographed to lead to where the story took us without giving away the final twist unless you were looking exactly the right way at the right time!

Alice Hunter's books have been a pleasure to read in the past and this one is no different. It was very easy to read with the way it flowed between the timelines showing us what happened before merging seamlessly with what is happening now. My only thought when I finished this book was "Why didn't she say something?" but then I did remember and realise that she was trying to, Doh!

If you've not read the other books from The Serial Killer's family by this author, I highly recommend them and if you have, you know how good this read will be already!

I really enjoyed the first two books in this series and this was no exception. Gripping and pacy with a few twists and turns that all added into a great plot line. Thank you to NetGalley, Avon Books UK and the author for the chance to review.

Having read the other books in this series I was interested to see if this one was as good. It did not disappoint. Anna's life begins to fall apart once she is contacted by the police and informed that she may the next possible target of a serial killer, whom they believe is her brother. Lots of red herrings in this very twisty psychological novel.
Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for the advance copy of this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and publishers for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest and fair review.

Having read and loved all of the other books in "The Serial Killer's Family" series I was excited to be able to read the newest book. Personally I found this one slower paced and at times it felt like it had been padded out. At some points the dual timelines became confusing, mainly due to the lack of clear segregation, making it difficult to follow. Nonetheless, a gradual build up of suspense, with multiple twists and turns, alongside the general flow and rhythm kept me intrigued.

Overall it is a great addition to the series, although I felt it fell slightly short of the others. The shocking plot twist at the end was mind-blowing, in reflection it made sense as to why at times, the narration appears slightly evasive. 4/5 stars.

Anna and Henry have a traumatic past and were brought up in a care home. This story follows them in later life with many flashbacks to the early years. When Anna finds out that her brother is suspected of being a serial killer her life falls apart. Henry seems to be trying to ruin things for her and the detective in charge of the case is looking for details that may catch him and save another woman from being brutally murdered. Anna is reluctant to give all the details as there is a secret between her and her brother that could have a big impact on her life.
I hadn't read the first two books that proceeded this but I don;t think it made a difference to my enjoyment as it seemed to be a standalone tale. I really enjoyed this and thought the twist at the end was very good. I will definitely recommend this book and would be interesting in reading the other two.

I have read all The Serial Killer's Series and all been brilliant, think this was the most creepiest of them all. It was a fast paced thriller which kept me on the edge of my seat from the beginning until the last page and what an ending it was, just brilliant.

All the characters were well developed and I have nothing negative to say about this book.

Thank you to Netgalley and Avon Books for this fantastic ARC which I have no hesitation in recommending.

Anna and her brother Henry spent their childhood at Finley Hall children’s home, passing the time with a riddle based game called The Hunt. But the past is about to explode into the present when Detective Inspector Walker graces Anna’s door to inform her that Henry is wanted for the murder of five women during the last three years. They need her help to solve Henry’s riddle before it’s too late, leading Anna into a race against time to prevent another murder.

This book had short chapters making it fast paced, while the plot had just the right level of suspense to keep me intrigued. The story ran on two timelines, the past and the present, which gave a great insight to the early relationship between Henry and Anna. The icing on the cake was the double twist at the end. I didn’t see either coming and I literally gasped out loud reading the final paragraph. Bravo.

This is a twisted but broken story.
There are swear words and a lot of graphic detail.
No matter your background, every choice has consequences. Some use terrors of the past as a foundation for rage and revenge. And a life is wasted. Others do the hard work of dealing with the past trauma and becoming very strong individuals forging a new way of life.
This is an intense read.

Wow wow. I have read book 1 and 2 of the serial killer family and have loved both so I knew I would love this one! Fantastic plot great character, great twists and turns.
I was hooked all the way through.
Thank you so much for my arc x

Unfortunately I didn’t enjoy this book. I get the feeling that I should have read previous book in the series before this one. I found the plot rather predictable and not unique and completely random at times. It wasn’t for me at all.

Fantastic book, it is one of those books that keep you turning the pages. The ending was brilliant, did not see it coming at all.

I’ve enjoyed the previous Serial Killer books. And Hunter’s newest story was such a fun and entertaining read.
The Serial Killer’s Sister by Alice Hunter was a steady paced, mind-bending thriller that was utterly compelling.
This was a well told story of secrets filled with suspense and tension.
A intriguing, complex and claustrophobic story that gripped me from the opening chapter and had me racing through the pages Alice Hunter is at the top of her game.

"I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

Thank You NetGalley and Avon for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

This was a wonderful addition to have the serial killer. I have enjoyed each of the books. Anna is living her ideal life when one day there’s a knock on the door and a police officer tells her that her brother is a serial killer. Does she believe them? Does she help them? This one will take you on an event full ride, so hold on! Thank you to Netgalley for letting me preview this book.
