Killer was edge of my seat riveting from the very first page to the very last. I could not put it down until I had finished the very last word. The story was so engaging and the characters felt so real that I found it easy to lose myself within the story. Thank you Mr. Marcus for sharing such a rich, wonderful story with me. I look forward to reading more from you in the future.

Hi Gary, Thank you so much for sharing your soon to be released book with my husband Marty. I am an avid reader especially of mystery’s and thrillers. It was an excellent read. I am turned off by many books that start off slow and you have to suffer through the first 2-3 chapters. Your book “Killer” is a quick start and doesn’t let you down through to the end. Loved you characters, Henry and Liz were my personal favorites with Richard being a perfect character to despise, fulfilling his part! Changing locations and even changing identities kept the reader moving along with the story. It was smooth and done very well. You certainly have the gift of a writer.
