Robert Swartwood’s The Killing Room is one of the most exhilarating action thrillers you’re going to read. It’s packed with raw emotions and wild twists that you just can’t seem to shake off even after you’ve put down the book for a breather.
A businessman wakes up after a night of drinks and fun to see a woman murdered in his room. With no recollection of how it all happened, he tries to run but is quickly captured by the detectives assigned to the case. The detectives offer him a way out of his troubles, but they’re kicking up a hornet’s nest even if they don’t know it.
If this synopsis seems vague, it’s supposed to. It would be a grave injustice to spoil the jaw-dropping earth-shattering twists and turns are unpacked by Swartwood with so much elegance and panache that you’ll take a breath to say WOAH. The suspense is a killer (pun-intended) and you won’t even recover from the first twist before you hit the next one like a freight train one after another. The stylized breakneck pacing leaves nothing more to be desired.
Speaking of breaking necks, this thriller packs terrific and detailed action sequences and high-speed pursuits that get you hyped up faster than any caffeine hit. From cool fisticuffs to brutal shootouts with technical details laid out in just the right flavor, the entire narrative flows like a well-oiled machinery designed to keep you on your toes.
Do yourself a favor and dig into The Killing Room without further ado. It’s a genuine surprise-read that will take you for a great ride. There is no denying the final page sets up a spectacular sequel and I am looking forward to it fervently.
