In for the Kill

A book for fans who enjoy the tale of a serial killer. Set over two timelines - one a young boy growing up with his mother, where he sees his mother's partners come and go and how she 'disposes' of them, the other several years later where what we presume may be the boy grown into a man who is emulating all of what he had watched his mother do.

The man's victims are not at random and while 'The Butcher' is looking to play with police, the connection becomes apparent later in the book.

There are several current and past relationships in the book amongst the characters with sidelines including one of the policeman's daughters. 

Not quite Chris Carter, but a good read nonetheless.
