Rubble and the Wreckage

Rubble and the Wreckage - Rodd Clark I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Christian Maxwell is an aspiring writer who has tracked down a serial killer named Gabriel Church. Planning to be the first to get his exclusive story in book form, he ignores the danger posed to him and approaches Gabriel to a detailed biography of his murders, his thought and feelings. With each passing meeting/interview, the two go from a interviewer and interviewee to something more.

I don't even know where I should start. When I first started the book the setup reminded me of Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice. The book gave an interesting account and insight into the mind of a killer. Readers got the recollections of Gabriel's childhood, what hardships he had to face in his childhood and all the actions that built up and created the monster that is Gabriel Church. It was a bit disturbing to see how remorseless and uncaring he was about his actions and his frustration at wanting Chris to understand where he was coming from (err...his actions/murders). The time he spent with Christian did kind of painted him in a better light but not by much. I really didn't expect to like him as much as I did.

I don't really know what to make of Christian either. I was equal parts disturbed and awed at how he tracked down Gabriel before any law enforcement agency even knew about the crimes. The way he carried on with Gabe knowing all the dangers.

I was intrigued with the situation with Shea, with the way Gabe handled Chris and her actually meeting, Chris's behavior afterwards and what he did. The recourse Gabe had to take to rectify the situation was expected. The ending was a bit saddening but again expected. I did feel bad for Chris thinking he could have a different ending with Gabe...I do admit a little part of me was hoping Gabe would at least try.
