About this product

Product Information

When a teenage girl is strangled and left for dead on a lonely country lane, by an attacker she describes has having the head of a dog, the police are baffled. But when the body of another young woman is found mutilated and wrapped in a white linen sheet, DI Wesley Peterson suspects that the killer is performing an ancient ritual linked to Anubis, the jackal-headed Egyptian god of death and mummification. Meanwhile, archaeologist Neil Watson has been called to Varley Castle to catalogue the collection of Edwardian amateur Egyptologist, Sir Frederick Varley. However, as his research progresses, Neil discovers that Wesley's strange murder case bears sinister similarities to four murders that took place near Varley Castle in 1903 - murders said to have been committed by Sir Frederick's son. As the Jackal Man's identity remains a frustrating enigma, it seems that the killer has yet another victim in mind. A victim close to Wesley Peterson himself . . .

Strictly by the numbers, far fetched and poorly written.
I should state that this review is my personal opinion and I appreciate that everyone's opinion is different. The Jackal man is a mystery novel where the protagonist, DI Wesley Peterson is on the trail of a killer who is murdering young girls whilst dressed as the egyptian God of death, "Anubis". There is so much wrong with this novel that it's hard to find anything to praise it about. Kate Ellis has an annoying habit of correcting herself as she writes, in the "oh I had better write something in that explains this as it doesnt make sense" mould. Similarly, she changes place names for no apparent reason even though we know where she is describing. "Dartmouth" becomes "Tradmouth" for example. The novel is riddled with repetitive phrases (where the editor was, I dont know.) and I found myself constantly flipping back through the pages to find out where characters who seem to just pop up, had come from. DI Wesley Peterson is supposed to be a Black man, but you only find this out when it is overtly stated about a third of the way in. Other than that he has no defined character and he could frankly be anyone. The Police procedures described ignore any kind of forensics and rely instead on mundane questioning sessions in the police interview room. My personal favourite of all the screw ups the author makes, is when it is discussed that the killers first murder was sloppy and the second was smoother by far. If you read closely, when the killer is identified, the back story applied to the character explains that the murderer had in fact killed once before the current string of murders. Therefore, the first in the string shouldnt have been sloopy at all, should it ! There is a split narrative where a story from the nineteenth century is married up to the present day. Its a worthless exercise and serves only to fill a few pages. All in all, if you like a routine, not too taxing story and you can overlook the amateurish execution, then you'll be fine with the Jackal man. If you want something decent, pass it by.Read full review
