Trigger by Kris Brooker
Trigger was groomed in the House of the Lord. The coveting of priests, they said, was a reward for his faith. But God sent Jamie, the girl with blood on her hands. She saved them both, and God’s warriors burned in Hell.
Hidden amongst London’s homeless Trigger feels that God has stopped listening. Jamie broke her vow and killed again. Torn between his faith and his affection, Trigger will do anything to protect her.
Sergeant Adams has made the connection. A third body convinces him there’s a serial-killer loose in London, so why won’t his superiors listen?
Adams will risk his job, and his life, to stop a killer preying on London’s homeless.
Three personalities, ever-darkening desires; an endgame they’ll never see coming.
I engaged with this book from the first page.
I was sad by the last.
Not sure what else to say.
Weird and wonderful. Pathetic but inspiring. Not sure I should feel sorry for Trigger, but I do. 3* or 5*, so I’ll give it 4*
A drug taking stalker with mental health issues, and yes, a killer girlfriend. The world beats on Trigger, but he fights back. Loved it….
Not your typical prose, but Brooker tinkers along with this character, who is flawed on so many levels. Good read with a glass of wine.
A spicy as it gets. Poor Trigger is in love with a psycho. An avalanche of unfortunate events makes for a v.satisfying read.
