I liked these little insights because they made the characters seem much more human. Jessica Balzano has a very emotional response when they discover the body of a baby encased in ice because she is a mother. Kevin Byrne works as a volunteer for a teen outreach programmed called Philly Brothers. Montanari gives insight into what they are like outside of work. The main characters in The Killing Room are the detective investigating the murders. It makes it easier to connect with what’s going on and see everything in my head. I like it when a writer is able to create a real sense of place in their work. I could easily picture the sights, sounds, smells and people in my head. Montanari’s descriptions were very vivid. Montanari does a good job at bringing the city to life. I liked the title and the premise seemed interesting.

I have only read one other Montanari novel, The Skin Gods, a few years ago.
To those who knew her in those years, she seemed a studious girl, quiet and polite, given to watching clouds for hours on end, oblivious, as only the very young can be, to the crushing poverty that surrounded her, the chains that had enslaved her kind for five generations. When she was a young girl, before the night embraced her with its great black wings, and blood became her sacramental wine, she was, in every way, a child of light. Someone is transforming the city’s cathedrals into killing rooms, someone who is determined to raise hell on earth. And then a third is forced to swallow stones and suffocates. Twenty four hours after the discovery, Detectives Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano find another victim in another church, encased in a pristine block of ice. A murder shocks the frozen city – the most spectacular homicide in its three hundred-year old history: an ex-cop is lured to the basement of an abandoned chapel, wrapped in barbed wire and kept alive for ten days.
