The Best Selling Number 1 Thrillers & Suspense Debut

On 1st June, 2010, an unspeakable act of murder was committed – a crime so evil that its perpetrator, Alex Merton, could never be forgotten. He left behind not just bloody fingerprints staining the city, but also debate, confusion, and question upon question as to why he did it.

How could a man in possession of such genius – a man so deeply in love – unleash such horror on the living? How could a man so seemingly invisible in the community become the face of a nation’s nightmares? And who was the mystery somebody who knew of his murderous blueprints way beforehand, yet decided to do nothing until it was too late?

This is the story of Alex Merton – the truth behind the mystery, the man, the monster...

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

After growing too familiar with the pleasantries of the English countryside, Sidney Knight embraced city life in London. It was here that he began ALEX, his first novel which took three years to complete.

A lifelong admirer of literary and genre fiction, he enjoys creating a hybrid of both, writing plot-driven stories with an emphasis on psychologically complex characters.

Walking a different road to most, ALEX is a fusion of crime, mystery, psychological suspense and romance, told with a bold, unflinching style. Knight is happily married and currently working on his second novel which he hopes to publish very soon.

4,0 su 5 stelle I liked it more than I hated it, but there was a little of each.

Something I've tried doing since getting my kindle last Dec is finding books with high stars but not reading the reviews until finishing reading it. That said, I just completed my read and I agree with the good and bad reviews. I have it 4 stars because the author was engaging and the pace was just as I like. The character development was better than average but had room for improvement. While I found myself rooting for Alex and wanting someone to step up and really help out the poor guy, I also couldn't really relate to him.
Overall the story felt current and socially, uh, needed? The subject of bullying is tough because you want to raise awareness but not glorify. Hard balance to find there, and I don't think the author succeeded.
Because I enjoyed this one I'll be seeing out his other novels...and hoping for a happy ending this time!

Sidney Knight must be beside himself, 'ALEX' is full of psychological brilliance, Alex, the main character has mental difficulties, and at the start of the book you don't really understand him and you most certainly don't relate to him, but as the book progresses and he starts to open up you start to recognise what he is about as I believe there is a tiny piece of his make up in everyone. The twists and turns in 'Alex' are amazing, you are never sure who to like or hate, (although I always loved Alex, no matter what). The one sure thing I can say about this book....No one other book has sent me through so many emotions, I have giggled, cried, and have really been through the wringer. I can't wait to read 'Perfect Remains'

BRILLIANT BOOK, BRILLIANT AUTHOR XXXXXXXXX

A bit odd and disturbing although well written if you enjoy that sort of thing, I only hope that the author was not writing from having a similar nature and/or personal experience!!!

5,0 su 5 stelle A beautiful tragedy
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 20 giugno 2014

This book delves into the twisted mind of Alex Merton, who is a shockingly relatable character. You know from the very beginning how his story is going to end and you spend the entirety of the book watching the characters you have grown to love hurtle towards the inevitable train wreck that is the ending of the story. You watch them reach the highest points of their lives and hope against hope that things really will get better for Alex, and then watch everything crumble to the ground.

It sounds like a depressing read and I suppose it would be for someone who didn't enjoy psychological suspense. I quickly became addicted to it and read the book in almost one sitting. It's definitely going to be shelved as a new found favorite that I am very glad I accidentally came across and decided it was worth the read.

I think probably the most terrifying and singularly depressing thing about this book is that the truth is, any of us at any time could become Alex. All it takes are the correct circumstances and the right amount of pressure.

Additionally there were some gems of quotes strewn throughout the novel that I found myself highlighting as I went along such as:

"I feel like I can almost see inside him. That's all. Like I've been him once- kinda. I recognize that look in his eyes." Layla

"I just think I am that person who should help him. I think he's trapped like I was. But maybe he won't get out of the bubble...and realise he needs to go looking for help." Layla

"The best photos are the ones you don't know have been taken." Alex

The book was a tragedy but a beautiful one and I highly recommend this novel to anyone who isn't afraid of the darkness.

I picked up this book not knowing what to expect, except that I would be reading and getting into the mind of a killer.

It did take me a few chapters before I really got into the book. This was probably because I was having to get used to a dialogue and a style of writing I am not used to normally reading. The turning point for me was when Layna appears in the book and takes an interest in Alex and starts to bring him out of his shell. From this point on I was in there and interested!

So what i would say to anyone who starts reading the book but isn't sure about it is to hang in there, because it really is worth it, the final third of the book had me completely immersed in the story. Its so unusual to come across a book where you get inside the mind of a criminal who does unspeakable acts and actually read the story from their perspective. I am glad this author attempted it because I am not sure many people would have the guts to do this.

The other thing i would like to say is this book isn't for the faint hearted - the language is quite graphic as is some of the violence - it should come with a health warning - x-rated! - If i was a parent of a teenage child (which I am not at the moment) I wouldn't want them to get their hands on this book. Its definitely a book for adults only and only those with the stomach for it.

The book itself is not a mainstream novel that would appeal to a wide audience but more a niche market.

I found once I was fully immersed in the story which was a really good one, the graphic detail and language no longer bothered me like it did in the first few chapters, is that disturbing or what? :) The only scene that shocked me was the first one with Alex and the dog which in the end doesn't happen. At this point in the story I guess we don't really know Alex very well. Later when we get to know him - I really did feel for him so much - and although his later acts for the wrongs done to him are in no way acceptable , I was able to understand how it could happen if that person is also mentally disturbed in the way Alex was.

The only thing I would say is that I would liked to have known a bit more about his upbringing and how he got to where he was the when story begins. We only know what he has been doing for the past 7 years. I couldn't quite understand what he had against his parents and in what way he felt he had been let down by them. It would have been good to know but the author might think that was too much detail. :)

It is a really tragic ending to the story and it did actually really have me gripped. I really enjoyed it even though its not my usual read! or what I am used to!
