10 Word Review: Serial killer is murdering families, Will Graham investigates, Hannibal helps.
Spoiler Free Review: I really loved this first book in the Hannibal Lecter series, even though he’s not in it all that much. It’s still a great thriller with excellent pacing and a firm grasp of forensics in the 1980s. I have seen both movie adaptations of this book, so I knew the general plot and how it was all going to end, but the book still drew me in completely! Harris does a great job of making you both feel bad for the killer, but still want him to get his comeuppance! Of course, you’re also introduced to Hannibal Lecter, one of the best literary criminals of all time! Needless to say, I cannot recommend this book enough if you’re a fan of mysteries and thrillers!
