Book Club #52: Ideal Sinner by Amanda M. Jansson and Volk Kinetshniy

I love to read a good mystery crime book! Ideal Sinner: A Sasha Volkov case (The Volkov series Book 1), by my two Art editors Amanda M. Jansson and Volk Kinetshniy, is one of the best books I’ve been reading for the last 10 years. Steven King needs to watch his back there is a new generation of writers ready to take his crown. A must-read book! 


A fast-paced, thrilling debut about grisly murders and the hunt for a serial killer through the eyes of two distinct narrators.  Aleksander Volkov, a self-destructive gay forensic psychologist with a death instinct.

It’s the late nineties, and the body of a brutally murdered young teacher troubles the Pittsburgh police. Soon after, two more bodies emerge. Is it just a macabre streak of bad luck or could there be a serial killer on the loose as Police Chief Williams suspects? Gay arrogant hunk and renowned forensic psychologist, Sasha Volkov-who had been involved with serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer during his final years, is soon called in on the case and has to struggle with balancing his afflictions and the police expecting him to put an end to the number of bodies piling up. In the meanwhile, Volkov is stuck with young art student Ryan, whose fascination with violent crime scenes is surpassed only by his attraction to his newly found mentor. Will Volkov be able to spot the missing link and annihilate the murderer before he gets to him?
