As public panic spreads in the weeks before Christmas, Hawkins and her team have to stop a killer whose twisted motives can only be guessed at before another week brings another victim. When the clock strikes one . . .

Praise for The Advent Killer

A truly terrifying debut novel

My Weekly

This is a strong, spell-binding crime novel that shows much promise of dark treasures to come from this author

Crimesquad

The Advent Killer is both well written and entertaining and I found myself racing to find out what would happen next, and who the killer was

If Police Procedurals with a strong female main character are your bag, grab a copy of The Advent Killer ... actually... buy a few - they'd make a great Christmas gift for any Crime Fiction lover

Gunn cleverly builds suspense throughout his fantastic debut novel...The Advent Killer was a well written read from this debut novelist, who shows a great promise of things to come.

If you're looking for a gripping, gruesome, fast-paced page-turner that will keep you guessing right up until the killer's identity is revealed...then The Advent Killer is for you. I found myself happily racing through it in a couple of sittings, and I'd defy anyone who picked it up not to want to do the same

A good debut

This book was brilliant from start to finish and a proper page-turner. I finished this in a couple of days and loved every second of reading
