Today I'm delighted to welcome
THOMAS ENGER
for his Killed blog tour
to share his BEST OF CRIME ...
... AUTHORS
John Hart. Simply because he is a master with words and plots, not to mention a class act himself.

... FILMS/MOVIES
Shawshank Redemption. A film with so many layers and great characters. And a highly satisfactory ending. The scene in the sewer (you know the one) is one of the greatest film scenes of all time.

... TV DRAMAS
I like a lot of them, but for me Sopranos still rates as the best - even though they dragged it out a bit towards the end. I loved Breaking Bad, too, although the same can be said about that show, too. TV dramas should know better when to quit while they're ahead.

... FICTIONAL KILLERS
Hannibal Lecter. Seriously, can you think of a creepier killer? A highly educated,
cultivated man with exquisite taste, who is a relentless sadist and yet he isn't
completely without compassion either.
... FICTIONAL DETECTIVES
Sherlock Holmes. Now, who wouldn't want to have a brain like that.
... MURDER WEAPONS
A necklace bomb. Talk about a psychological ordeal, having one of those around your neck.
Must be a lot worse than having a gun pointed at your chest, knowing that at
any given moment your whole head can be blown off.
... DEATH SCENES
Silence of the Lambs, in the ambulance, when Hannibal Lecter removes the skin from his
face, skin that belonged to the man who was guarding him, as he escapes the
prison... One of the biggest WTF moments I've ever seen.
... WRITING TIPS
Don't sit
and wait for inspiration. Just sit down and write.
... WRITING SNACKS
I try to
stay away from food while I write, as my keyboard gets sticky and nasty, but
one thing I can't do without, is coffee. Lots of it.

2013 Enger published his first book for young adults, a dark fantasy thriller

About KILLED
Publisher's description
Crime
reporter Henning Juul thought his life was over when his young son was
murdered. But that was only the beginning...
Determined to find his son’s
killer, Henning doggedly follows an increasingly dangerous trail, where dark
hands from the past emerge to threaten everything. His ex-wife Nora is pregnant
with another man’s child, his sister Trine is implicated in the fire that
killed his son and, with everyone he thought he could trust seemingly hiding
something, Henning has nothing to lose ... except his own life. Packed with
tension and unexpected twists, Killed is the long-awaited finale of one
of the darkest, most chilling and emotive series you may ever read. Someone
will be killed. But who?
