Hi, everyone!
I am very happy to be included in the Release Blitz for M FOR MURDER by Keri Beevis. (This book was previously published as Dead Letter Day in 2013.)
This standalone thriller’s plot will grab you from page 1 and pull you into a fast paced twisted story that intertwines a serial killer’s story from eight years ago with a present day series of killings. They thought the killer died in a fire, but there was no body.
Has he returned to continued his Alphabet Killings ?

My Book Review
RATING: 4 out of 5 Stars
M for Murder by Keri Beevis is an engrossing and fast paced standalone thriller. (This book was previously published as Dead Letter Day in 2013.)
Eight years ago, the ninth victim of The Alphabet Killer escaped. With her escape came the identification of the serial killer as Professor Rodney Boone an English Professor from the college. During the escape, the professor was stabbed twice and the basement kill room was set on fire. No body was discovered and the killings stopped.
Present day. The killings have resumed right where they left off in the alphabet. Rookie cop, Rebecca Angell is excited to be assisting the two FBI agents assigned to the case. She soon finds that not every investigator plays by the rules.
The investigators are convinced they are dealing with a copycat killer, but Boone’s body was never found. Is Professor Boone back or is someone else finishing The Alphabet Killers letters?
I have to say that this plot pulled me in and did not let up. There are several red herrings and plot twists that constantly had me questioning who the killer may be. I did not guess the killer or the twisted ending correctly and that makes me very happy. I was disappointed in Rebecca. She was always hot-headed and confrontational. The male characters were difficult and chauvinistic, but I would have really liked Rebecca to have handled her frustration and temper better.
The thriller plot is great and because of that and the surprise twist ending I recommend this book for an engrossing read.

further twenty years before she was published after winning a contract in the
Rethink Press New Novels Competition 2012.
Born in the village of Old Catton, less than a mile from where Anna Sewell was
living when she wrote Black Beauty, Keri had a passion for reading and writing
from a young age, though her tastes veered more to the macabre.
Today she still lives in Norwich, along with her two naughty kitties, Ellie and
Lola, and a plentiful supply of red wine (her writing fuel), where she writes a
comedic lifestyle column for a local magazine. She loves Hitchcock movies,
exploring creepy places, and gets extremely competitive in local pub quizzes.
She is also a self-confessed klutz.
Keri joined the Bloodhound team in 2019 and her first release with them, the
psychological thriller, Dying To Tell, which is set in her beautiful home
county of Norfolk, has been her biggest success to date, with over 1200 four
and five star ratings on Goodreads.
Her new novel, Deep Dark Secrets (which was previously published as The
Darkness Beneath) was released in January 2020.
