Book Review : Retribution

Book Review : Retribution 

;

Retribution is my introduction to L.A. Burch’s work, and it’s an impressive start. The story is engagingly crafted, with Sergeant Detective Walter Rogers and Detective Ann Grace as standout characters who are both clever and relatable. They’re up against a relentless serial killer who has been terrorizing the city for three years. His actions are unpredictable—sometimes killing merely to throw the detectives off his trail.

The story diverges from typical thrillers, keeping the reader on edge as the detectives repeatedly go over the case, looking for any clue they might have overlooked. The killer's methods vary—from shootings to arson—each crime meticulously planned to avoid leaving any trail. He’s a few steps ahead, and the detectives can only hope he slips up to leave them a lead.

As a fan of psychological fiction, I thoroughly enjoyed Burch’s skillful plotting and complex narrative. The book's title and cover art perfectly capture its intense, mind-bending nature. The killer’s psychological game with the detectives kept me guessing and made for an intellectually engaging read.

Thanks for reading.
