RED 1-2-3 by John Katzenbach ****

I liked the book but not on my top ten, it wasn't hard to get into at all, minimal characters and they all had distinct personalities. I didn't really 'bond' with anyone in particular. The writing is easy flowing and has good descriptions. It's about a writer/serial killer who has never been a suspect in the long long time he's been a famous writer? Hmmm. Dumb cops all the killings are done to be a book he writes and what....nobody reads them and connects them, even tho he changes minor details?  Instead of a 4 year old he writes about, he kills an 8 yr old. No way to tell?

There are 3 women with red hair and he's the big bad wolf, sending out threatening letters. What I don't get is why on earth he thinks they'll meet each other, or even bother looking but they do. Then whatever he expects from the meeting doesn't occur. One fakes her death, the three of them go after him with threats and no police action, which I just do not understand. Why not throw the cops onto him and get him put away for all the murders he's committed, his own wife even helped him. Stupid biatch.

Since he wanted red heads WTF didn't they color their hair black or brown,they would no longer be little red riding hoods. Don't get that part either. Most women don't know what their original hair color is after 30 anyhow.

So many things I didn't get that the author should have covered. The wolf belongs in jail. I don't like the ending.
