The Echo Man: The most gripping debut serial killer thriller you will read in 2022!

Enjoyed reading this book, now one of my favorite thriller. Very dark, hooked from first page 👍🏻👌🏻

Great story but not as dark and scary as expected

Good story!

Sam Holland has exploded onto the crime fiction scene with her debut novel, The Echo Man. If you enjoy fast paced, gritty and very dark crime thrillers, then you definitely need to check it out, if you haven’t done so already. I would add as a warning though, that I don’t think this book is for the faint hearted as it is very gruesome. It’s one of the darkest crime fiction novels I’ve read.Sam Holland certainly does not shy away from the darkness. Sam really delves deep here and she has created a complex, well thought out plot. Jess is a really intriguing character. She is plunged into a nightmare right away at the start of the book, when her husband is killed following a fire at her house. She and her daughter escape by the skin of their teeth. But Jess immediately is considered a suspect by the police in her husband’s death. Without sticking around to clear her name, Jess decides to go on the run.Following the shocking opening, Jess teams up with disgraced detective Nate Griffin who also has a dark past. I thought their pairing was really interesting, especially when they begin to get to grips with the case together. You can feel the emotional turmoil Jess is going through following her husband’s murder. I had to know why she had taken the path of running, rather than cooperating with the police and their investigation. Surely this would be the best thing for her, and her daughter, who she is leaving alone at the most horrific time in her life. I had so many questions about this that I wanted answered.The detectives and Jess know they are facing a sadistic serial killer, who is taking it upon themselves to recreate famous serial killings. This killer is one of the most chilling I have come across in this genre, and there were definitely quite a few scenes which made me want to sleep with the light on after reading them. I wanted to know what their motive was in carrying out these crimes. This kept me turning the pages as Jess and Nate Griffin raced to find the answers.The Echo Man is a highly entertaining, dark read that had me flying through the pages. The final scenes were so chilling. My eyes were glued to the page as I was reading them. I’m really looking forward to seeing what Sam Holland writes next.

This book was fantastic! I think it's my favourite thriller to date! The twists, the way it was written, it was straight into the storyline. It was fast paced too which is a must for me when reading a thriller! I can't wait to read the next few!

WHAT THE H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS WAS THAT ENDING?!Sam Holland delivered one of the most harrowing, gruesome, bloodiest, thrilling debut novels I have read in forever or even ever. This book is definitely not for the faint of heart due to the dark themes and vast trigger warnings. So if the premise sounds interesting please do yourself a favor and find a list of TW before preceding. I would try but I don't want to miss any. The Echo Man had me in its grasp from the beginning and didn't let go. Every second of free time I wanted to read, so I could find out who was the Echo Man. I also wanted to know if my theories about who it was were valid. Sam Holland went definitely did her research in this book and it shows. The attention to detail was immaculate. If this was Sam's debut then I cannot wait for her next release and her next release.
