This was a teally excellent sequel, about a serial killer who killers perpetrators of DV and the women he helps. My only issue was i didnt know it was a Sequel and havent read first one!! Would def read first and come back and devour this one!

Having read the first book – The Serial Killer Support Group – I was anxious to read the second installment. For six months someone known only as The Caretaker has been committing crimes against those who have wronged. Now women are taking control of their own lives and have become a movement. How will it end? This book was darker than the first but just as good! The concept of justice evolves into an organized, covert system of vigilante justice. Returning investigator Sophie Salam gets closer as the killings escalate, but her lines are blurred between justice and protecting her daughter. You have to ask – when the system fails, is vigilante justice justified? Who decides who deserves punishment? This one, like the first, was hard to put down with short chapters, multiple perspectives, and escalating tension. It is perfect if you enjoy a good “revenge thriller”!

This was a really good follow-up! It is darker and more intense than the first one and ends on a cliffhanger, leading to a third book. Now I need to know what's next for this group of strong women!

The Caretaker began killing bad men when women came forward to tell of the mens’ abuse. The first women were Kelly, Madison, Hannah and Jess. They formed a support group that only grew across the UK. The Caretaker is a man who prepared himself so no DNA could be found when he killed someone. Everyone involved hoped to pass legislation where men would be incarcerated if found guilty of abusing a woman. Until this was passed, the Caretaker would continue his work. Sophie is a police detective who believes that some of the wives “saved” by the Caretaker are complicit with the crimes on abusive men. She is also a single mother whose daughter, Lottie, is autistic and she worries about her so much. Sophie has a secret from her past that she is trying to keep hidden but she is afraid it will come out that could have very bad results. I did not read the first book in the series so I wasn’t expecting things to be so “real.” There is a lot of angst among these women and they struggle to try and lead a normal life which is very difficult for them. I found the book to be quite scary so beware if you cringe easily. All in all, a good story. Copy provided by Edelweiss in exchange for a fair and honest review.

The Serial Killer Support Network is a darkly clever, unsettlingly timely thriller that takes the idea of vigilante justice and twists it into something far more complicated. From the very first chapter, there’s a sense of unease humming beneath the surface — not because of gore or shock value, but because the story taps into something deeply human: the desire to reclaim power after being wronged. For six months, The Caretaker has been targeting people who “deserve it,” at least in the eyes of those who’ve been hurt. What begins as a single shadowy figure quickly becomes something larger, a movement that spreads quietly across the country. The author captures that shift beautifully — the way fear and admiration can blur, how desperation can turn into justification, and how easily a symbol becomes something uncontrollable. At the centre of it all is the support group, a collection of women who never asked to be part of a revolution but suddenly find themselves at the heart of one. Their dynamic is one of the book’s strongest elements: raw, messy, hopeful, and heartbreaking in equal measure. They’re not caricatures of trauma; they’re real, flawed people trying to navigate a world that hasn’t always been kind to them. Watching them grapple with the consequences of The Caretaker’s actions — and their own complicated feelings about it — gives the story a grounded emotional weight. The pacing is tight, the tension steady, and the moral ambiguity handled with a deft touch. Nothing is simple here, and that’s what makes it so compelling. As the movement grows, so does the danger, and the women must decide whether they’re willing to be swept along by it or brave enough to push back. Dark, thought‑provoking, and quietly gripping, The Serial Killer Support Network is a thriller that lingers — not because of its violence, but because of the questions it asks about justice, agency, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. with thanks to DB Stephens, the publisher and netgalley for the ARC
