Product Description:
When our hero finds himself in the path of a serial killer, he somehow manages to defend himself, and give the blood-thirsty madman a taste of his own medicine. But when he goes through the dead man's wallet, he finds a mysterious personal ad inviting him to join a party hosted by Errol Flynn. What begins with passing curiosity soon becomes uncontrollable obsession, as our hero becomes acquainted with 18 killers. Their game: to share the thrill of the hunt and to make sure no two members choose the same two victims. To protect their identities, they have all chosen names of old Hollywood stars, and before long, our hero becomes Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. But he has no intention of following the rules. With a government special agent on his trail who will soon become his partner in crim, "Dougie" plans to knock off the killers one by one, from Carole Lombard to Chuck Norris, to Laurence Olivier and Cher. But what happens when the "stars" notice their numbers dropping?

I was originally drawn to this book by its title, and purchased it because the premise seemed interesting. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a story I had to force myself to finish. The summary and sample reviews on the cover promise enjoyable dark humor, but anytime there was an attempt at humor, it was only painful. The problem is that none of the characters are remotely likable, least of all the protagonist. I was unable to feel anything towards the characters except annoyance. As a result, ... Read More

Overall, the story was well written and kept my attention very well. The premise was interesting and excellent and I even liked the short descriptions of the murders in the book.
I can say I did not care for the ending because it felt unresolved and rushed to me.
Will I read Mr. Povey's next book?
Yes. I think he will get much better. Especially if he keeps his humor and wit within his writings. Please.. leave out the timid protagonist, I wanted to punch him the entire ... Read More

Povey creates an intresting story weaving dead celebrities and dead bodies. A sophisticated club that meet, greet, and weave tales of the latest kill, only for one member(sadly) to be in a "killers block". It's kinda like a writers's block, only there is the lack of a creative kill, rather than a creative story. When a FBI agent forces himself into the life of Douglas Fairbanks Jr. his sideline becomes his main occupation. Fairbanks Jr. most slowly disassociate his friendships the only way he knows how. ...

The plot of Jeff Povey's The Serial Killers Club is ridiculous. Our protagonist, targeted as the next victim of serial killer "Grandfather-of-Barney," winds up killing the murderer himself in self defense. Then, rather than calling the police like any normal person would do, he gets rid of the body and, posing as the killer, answers an invitation he finds in GOB's wallet to join an exclusive club--for serial killers only, because even mass murderers need to relax with their peers now and then. The club's ... Read More
