Read fifth to die sequel free download

Hats off to you Barker because I am more than eagerly awaiting book three. D Barker has become a favorite author! Barker has mastered how to write the perfect sequel, upping his game greatly to create an even more intense, thrilling and engaging story than The Fourth Monkey.

This thriller never disappoints. The Fourth Monkey is everything a thriller should be—a must read! It has pace to die for. This character is truly riveting. And he bounces his bad guys off a colorful cast of believable characters. All one-of-a-kinds.

Barker is a force to be reckoned with. But, I will say there is a case of girls disappearing, being stuck in a basement cage like every good serial killer is wont to do. There are dead bodies. There is an FBI takeover. There is a prison break. There is a weird guy with a lisp and scars on his head.

There is Porter doing a lot of travelling to figure out just what the fuck 4MK is up to. In the end, some things make sense, but this really is a case of raising more questions than it answers.

This is a not a book you can jump into without reading the first in the series. Barker is doing with this series. This is a very intense and thoughtful nemesis epic.

Or Archie and Gretchen. Good vs. Brilliant Evil. Honestly, Bishop is just the fucking shit. If you want to really enjoy this book, you need to enjoy all that came before it.

Well done, Mr. Barker, very well done indeed. But did you have to leave those great big loose ends? I guess you did, as I hear you are planning to conclude the saga with a third book! I do think knowing that almost cancels out my irritation over the lack of a nice red bow at the finish.

This is a true 4. I highly highly recommend this little series. Barker for an ARC of this novel. Opinions are totally mine and are not biased in any way. View all 41 comments. Aug 23, Paromjit rated it really liked it Shelves: crime-fiction , netgalley , mystery , thriller.

There are so many reviews of this thriller that I will not waste time outlining aspects of the plot. Suffice it to say Barker is an old hand at raising suspense and tension with short snappy chapters and multiple threads that eventually connect. In enters another serial killer targeting young girls, torturing and killing them, imprisoning them in cages, an overused and too familiar trope as I wondered just how many serial killers the author is going to give us. Anson Bishop, the original 4MK ser There are so many reviews of this thriller that I will not waste time outlining aspects of the plot.

Anson Bishop, the original 4MK serial killer is portrayed as the master serial killer, several steps ahead of Detective Porter searching for mommy dearest, Bishop's mother, and Agent Poole and the Chicago Metro police team. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed reading this octane fuelled sequel, however, it is beginning to bear all the hallmarks of a never ending soap opera for which my tolerance levels are starting to wear rather thin, particularly with its cliffhanger ending.

I can probably see myself reading the next one, but after that, if it continues in this vein, I will probably drop it. View all 12 comments.

The first book in this series The Fourth Monkey was one of my favorite reads last year I usually just jump into series books wherever I want too but with these you are going to have to read them in order because you'll be totally lost Everybody is back from the first book and now some missing girls are starting to turn up. The town is still all creeped out from old Monk The first book in this series The Fourth Monkey was one of my favorite reads last year The town is still all creeped out from old Monkey Killing serial killer and they automatically think it is him.

The MO is different but this is some gruesome happenings and well.. The killer completely stumps the team and the lead detective from the first book gets himself suspended during this investigation. That ain't gonna stop him if you have ever read the thrillars you would totally know that.

So stuff happens. Now why didn't I go completely fangirl over this one? I think it's a case of second book syndrome.. There are some moments that I felt like the story went all over the place and lost me for a few. That's not hard to do Then that ending I'll still read whatever this dude writes because I'm already drooling for the next one.

I capitalized the reading because everyone already thinks I'm a bit nuts. Booksource: Netgalley in exchange for review. This book is a fascinating read, especially following the police force with their investigations and the IT guy! I love the ice explanation and how the killer take extra time to commit such heinous acts in public places. I enjoy the humor between Porter and Nash, and even with the medical examiner Eisley.

Each chapter is a heart pounding read and left you with a cliffhanger. A new chapter begins and the results is not what you thought it would be. It happened more than once for me.

Definitely a read you could hardly put down. This book is told in the third person point of view following Detective Porter, well known for his role in chasing the serial killer 4MK, as he and his partner Nash are on their way to a crime scene, an aftermath of a 15 year old girl, Ella Reynolds who went missing after school. Late that night, Detective Porter receives a call regarding another missing girl named Lili Davies.

The dead girl found under the ice happens to wear the same clothes as the new missing girl. Readers will also follow Lili Davies, told in third person point of view as a victim.

Book 1 left off where the killer got in touch with Detective Porter to ask Porter to return him a favor. This sequel picks up with more intensity and a bigger puzzle to solve.

The Fifth to Die is very well written and developed. I love reading the detective work and how they are looking for clues, connections, and trails left behind by the killer. This story is big and deals with many characters and victims.

I would recommend to read the duology back to back to keep up with the flow. I like the mystery and suspense. I like how smart the characters are: the police, the killers, and the victims and yet the killer seems to stay half a step ahead.

Despite the disturbing tortures, reading this book is most interesting because I get to follow many clever thoughts and work through many tough problems with the police. Love the twists! I most definitely recommend everyone to read this duology there will be a book 3 due to a major cliffhanger at the end of book 2 , just beware of torturing though. Barker, publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and Edelweiss for the opportunity to read and review. Please be assured that my opinions are honest.

A police procedural series in which the detectives have been tracking a serial killer known as the Four Monkey Killer. Picking up where the story had left off it would be best enjoyed reading in order to get to know the characters and what had happened up to this point.

As a new body is found frozen beneath a lake it becomes apparent that this is a new killer on the loose but Porter goes against orders and continues his search meanwhile the other detectives begin to track down the new killer. With the detectives separated in this installment the story is told from multiple points of view all throughout. There are also still peeks into the diary of 4MK that Porter has hung onto. Being someone that can be hit or miss with a police procedural I loved the first book of the series and was looking forward to this second and rejoining the detectives once again.

The casework seems realistic, the detectives likable and the story has plenty of twists and turns. This one did seem a bit long to me and perhaps could have moved a tad bit faster but overall it was right back to what I had come to expect from the series and now the wait begins yet again.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. Aug 13, Felicia added it. In one word: discombobulated I doubt a fucking flow chart would help me in keeping up with all of the characters in this story. By the end I had no idea who was who and it's left me in a pissy mood. I'll hold my rating until after I've read part 3, at which time I may lose my shit and have a full blown level seven nuclear meltdown.

Where do I begin? I am confused and my head aches, but in a good way. I NEED to read the first book again! I loved The Fourth Monkey. We had a great relationship and understood each other. Ours was a considerably smooth journey. The Fifth To Die? I am wrecked!

I feel like I have been thrown in a washing machine and then left to dry in a desert all by my lonesome! Our devastating liaison is scandalous and outrageous. I am using big words because there is no other way to describe this hurricane. Ta Where do I begin?

Talk about suspense! I need some time to heal. I need to sleep! First take a deep breath. Make sure you DO NOT begin late at night unless you want to look like a zombie in the morning and that you have done all your important chores and there is nothing or no one to interrupt you.

Go grab The Fourth Monkey and start from there. Happy reading! Thanks to J. View all 28 comments. Book Blog Bookstagram This is what you have to know going into the 4MK series: This story is a marathon, not a sprint. Barker has crafted a rich, intricate world full of robust, personality-driven characters, and advanced storytelling techniques. And he is presenting it to us, the reader, one giant novel at a time.

There is no end until it ends. This series is detailed, not so much in visual descriptions, but in depth of narrative and connections.

They are flying all over the place, from past to present, from case to case. It could be too much maybe for some readers, but for me, it filled me with joy at how vast this puzzle really is.

But I will say there is a case of girls disappearing, being stuck in a basement cage as every good serial killer is wont to do. There are dead bodies. There is an FBI takeover. There is a prison break. There is a weird guy with a lisp and scars on his head.

There is Porter doing a lot of travelling trying to figure out just what the fuck 4MK is up to. In the end, some things make sense, but this really is a case of raising more questions than it answers. This is not a book you can jump into without reading the first in the series. Barker is doing with this trilogy. This is a very intense and thoughtful nemesis epic. Or Archie and Gretchen. Good vs. Brilliant Evil. Honestly, Bishop is just the fucking shit.

If you want to really enjoy this book, you need to enjoy all that came before it. You need to know the relationship between Bishop and Porter from the very beginning and become emotionally invested in all its dark, creepy aspects. The first book was a mile a minute.

It literally blew my mind. I think it was brilliant, but it was missing that last, teeny-eeny little bit of oomphf. Barker is brought into the fold. Like, if Meg Gardiner is water, J. Barker is ice. Just call me Father Yod. Praise be for Barker, the ultimate literary god. His voice is so unique, his thoughts so twisted and his ability to create a story that never stops is unmatched.

Warning - slight spoiler from the first book ahead First thing: You HAVE to read the first book to understand this one, and if you read it a while back, do yourself a favor and reread the diary part of it before starting this.

There is barely a touch of re-capping and you will miss a lot unless the diary is pretty fresh. Plus, it's a creepy killer's diary. What's not to love? The diaries of monsters are so entertaining! This book wasn't as good as the first one - for a while. It took a few more pa Warning - slight spoiler from the first book ahead First thing: You HAVE to read the first book to understand this one, and if you read it a while back, do yourself a favor and reread the diary part of it before starting this.

It took a few more pages until I was glued to it, but don't worry, by the end I was giving it a standing ovation. In my head. You know, sitting there expressionless. That's how I roll. I never seem to give the correct reaction to things. We get to follow around the cop friends we made in the first book, but our main guy is kinda in trouble for letting the serial killer escape in that one.

Picky, picky! It's in the FBI's capable hands now. They will totally catch the guy. But, that's okay because our team has their own case to solve. And, it's totally not related. At all. Back off, FBI! You didn't see anything. Good day, sir! Now, you might think from my happy little silly jokey review that this book is all fun and sunshine and unicorns.

You would be wrong. It's dark. Really dark. There are horrible things happening, so don't read it if you don't like murder, death, evil, and mayhem. Luckily, it's not in cursive, so go for it, Millennials! View all 11 comments.
