The Witch Hunter by Max Seeck: Review

I found an interesting book to review the other day purely by accident. I was emailed the synopsis and when I went to go check it out to see if I wanted to read it, the system automatically assigned it to me. I hate it when that happens.

I always try to read every book that is assigned or that I request so I read it. And I was quite surprised by the content and actually became very engrossed in the story.

Read on for my complete review.

ABOUT:

A shocking murder in an affluent Helsinki suburb has ties to witchcraft and the occult in this thrilling U.S. debut from Finnish author Max Seeck.

A bestselling author’s wife has been found dead in a gorgeous black evening gown, sitting at the head of an empty dining table. Her most chilling feature—her face is frozen in a ghastly smile.

At first, it seems as though a deranged psychopath is reenacting the gruesome murders from the Witch Hunt trilogy, bestsellers written by the victim’s husband. But investigator Jessica Niemi soon realizes she’s not looking for a single killer but rather for dozens of believers in a sinister form of witchcraft who know her every move and are always one step ahead.

As the bodies start piling up, Jessica knows they won’t stop until they get what they want. And when her dark past comes to light, Jessica finds herself battling her own demons while desperately trying to catch a coven of killers before they claim their next victim.

The Witch Hunter by Max Seeck Review

Who’da thunk we would read about witches today. But this author took a very interesting theory and created a book that is very creepy and extremely in-depth.

Set in Finland, this book is completely unique in its plot. An intense suspense mystery that winds you up with every page turn.

The special twist is that this book follows the police investigative team as they try to solve a series of murders that follow a plot from a book, a very twisted and detailed book.

The imagination of this author is quite remarkable and he surprised me many times with intricate detail and introduction of new evidence and crimes that keep you guessing all the way to the end.

I just love the bits, drips, and minute pieces of detail that you don’t really register until it all comes together. This is a work of art that really speaks volumes for the talents of the author.

For those that love cop thrillers and mysteries, this one is a creepy, twisted story that you probably want to read during the day. Just in case.
