Shweeehhh! If you love finding a book that has that "X-factor, IT-factor," or whatever you call it when a writer takes well-worn subject matter and transforms it into something new. . . something difficult to describe. . . This series is for you. Some may say The Fifth To Die can be read as a stand-alone and maybe it can - IF the reader doesn't mind missing out on half the story. I wanted the full story. So I got a copy of The Fourth Monkey, devoured it, then started again. Shweeeehh!
In T4M Barker laid the foundation and began constructing a new way to read suspense/thrillers. T5TD picks up about four months after T4M. Those looking for a fast, light, one-sit read will not find it here. Barker is building a reading experience, not simply writing books. The world he is creating inside these novels envelops the reader. Gritty, disturbing, and unapologetic - Barker's style is in your face, gets in your head, and leaves you stunned, shocked, and wanting more. The characters are well written and three dimensional. Even the supporting cast has been thought-out and deeply drawn.

These books are five-hundred-page parts of a big story. There's nothing quite like it on the shelf. Unfolding like an enigma wrapped in a mystery, sealed inside a coffin, buried within a hidden tomb. . . only dedicated readers who follow this story from page one to wherever Barker takes us will unearth the truth. I cannot wait for book three.
Happy Reading,
RJ
