`The Fourth Monkey has one of the most ingenious openings that I've read in years. This thriller never disappoints.'James Patterson
`Superbly constructed and immaculately paced, this is one of the few serial killer thrillers that bears comparison with Thomas Harris's 1981 masterpiece Red Dragon.'
The Daily Mail
`A talented writer with a delightfully devious mind.'
Jeffery Deaver
`Not since Hannibal Lecter had a friend for dinner has a serial killer been so skillfully rendered on the page.'
Taylor Elmore, Writer/Producer of Justified and Limitless
`A labyrinth of madness and a macabre charnel house of mirrors, The Fourth Monkey is a 1st-rate, devilish thriller.'
Eric Rickstad, New York Times bestselling author of The Names Of Dead Girls
`Gripping, addictive, and devilishly clever. From its opening salvo The Fourth Monkey grabs you and never lets go. J. D. Barker is a stunning new talent.'

`A chillingly delicious page-turner.'
New York Times Bestselling Author, Kelley Armstrong
`Creepy, scary... and impossible to put down! The Fourth Monkey is everything a thriller should be-a must read!'
Heather Graham, New York Times bestselling author
`Gritty, masterful suspense. A dark ride into the mind of a genius killer, and those tasked with stopping him for good. Impeccably written with Barker's trademark wit and penchant for killer detail. Lee Child, you've met your match.'
