My Book Review And Blog Tour Of Brian Price’s Brilliant Nail-biting Police Procedural Murder Mystery Thriller 2nd Book In The DC Mel Cotton Series Fatal Hate @crimewritersci @HobeckBooks #FatalHate #DCMelCotton #BookReview #BlogTour

DC Mel Cotton is back with a new case to solve, the murder of Duncan Bennett, an unassuming worker at a local confectionary warehouse. As Mel’s team investigate, one key question remains… who would want ‘boring’ Duncan dead?

And the case soon becomes far more complex and dangerous than expected, threatening to overwhelm Mexton’s small police force. With terrorists, a paedophile network and a hitman in town, Mel and her colleagues face their greatest challenge yet.

Mel’s own courage will be tested to the limits and no-one is safe. Who is stirring up hatred and violence in the area?

And can Mel prevent herself from becoming too involved and putting her life in severe jeopardy?

My thoughts about Brian Price’s Fatal Hate has engaging storyline which keeps the reader’s hooked throughout the book. I don’t know how to be careful here without letting out spoilers but I will do my best at it. Brian Price’s Fatal Hate begins with the massive catastrophe which forms the pivot of the story.

Brian Price’s Fatal Hate is filled with lots of intelligently crafted scenes which i don’t want to mention here to avoid spoilers again. Author Brian Price’s writing turns every predictable moment into an unimaginable twist and it works in the book’s favour beautifully.

My Book Review Of Gavin Boyter’s Hard Hitting Breathtaking Debut Murder Mystery Thriller Elena In Exile @Gavin_Boyter #ElenaInExile #BookReview

**It takes one woman on the edge to solve the murder of another.**

*Elena Balan should be laying low. After all, she’s on the run from a horrible mistake.*

A Romanian single mum, Elena arrives in London to discover that her lover, Frances, has vanished. To find her, Elena’s 14-year-old daughter Ana enlists the help of a police officer, the disgraced former DC Robin Yarmouth.

Although Frances’ whereabouts remain a mystery, things begin looking up. Elena and Ana find an apartment, a job, and a new school. Then Elena’s sex worker neighbour and friend is found dead. The police are certain it’s suicide. Elena suspects otherwise and her instincts are not to let it go. But will Elena’s investigations with Yarmouth prove her own undoing?

—-

Elena in Exile is the first book in a projected series about the irrepressible Elena Balan and her journey towards becoming a Met police detective. Set in London’s Soho, forever on the cusp of escaping its sleazy past, the novel has a cast of rogues, misfits and eccentrics including Elena’s impetuous teen daughter Ana, her film-loving boyfriend Chris, and Italian cafe owner Luca.

Blending the observation and humanism of Henning Mankell with the narrative drive and darkness of Jo Nesbo, Elena in Exile is a shocking and surprising debut.

My thoughts about Gavin Boyter’s Elena In Exile’s story, pacing of it and the way it was told was so engaging and exciting that it kept me glued to my seat the whole time. Gavin Boyter’s debut is so well written that it is actually a crime thriller but covers all the dark holes. Writer Gavin Boyter has crafted and fully managed and balanced all the aspect like crime investigation and murder in a different way that takes your breath away. Gavin Boyter’s Elena In Exile works best as a dispassionate game about hunters and the hunted. The story of Gavin Boyter’s book begins with A Romanian single mum, Elena arrives in London to discover that her lover, Frances, has vanished.

Elena suspects otherwise and her instincts are not to let it go. But will Elena’s investigations with Yarmouth prove her own undoing. All an all Gavin Boyter’s Elena In Exile is a gripping thriller that goes much beyond the usual murder mystery thrillers ever written, and keeps you completely hooked till the last page and will make you curious as to what will happen next. Elena In Exile has a gripping plot and a steady character development that gets you invested in the story right from the beginning. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥💥

My Book Review And Blog Tour Of James Wolff’s Breathtaking Third Spy Thriller The Man In The Corduroy Suit #TheManInTheCorduroySuit #JamesWolff @bitterlemonpub @RandomTTours #BookReview #BlogTour

The third in the espionage trilogy *The Discipline Files*, after the acclaimed debut *Beside the Syrian Sea*, and its follow-on novel *How to Betray Your Country.*
Against the backdrop of increasing Russian spying and interference (including assassination) in the UK, this novel explores themes of loyalty and betrayal in modern intelligence work, threatened from the inside by whistle-blowers, serial leakers, and Robin Hood hackers.
**An insider’s story: James Wolff is a former British intelligence officer. This is not his real name.**
“A wonderful, artful, absorbing espionage novel.” Adam Brookes, author of *Night Heron*
British intelligence is in a state of panic. Cracks are appearing, or so a run of disciplinary cases would suggest. To cap it all, a retired MI5 officer collapses, the victim of what looks like a Russian poisoning. Leonard Flood is ordered to investigate – and quickly. Notorious for his sharp elbows and blunt manner, Leonard’s only objective is to get the job done, whatever the cost. But when the trail leads him from the suburbs of London to a remote country hotel, he makes a startling discovery that will change his life forever.

My Book Review Of James Swallow’s Action Packed Thriller Dark Horizon @jmswallow @welbeckpublish @EmmaDowson1 @ed_pr #DarkHorizon #BookReview

AT 40,000 FEET UP… THERE IS NO PLACE TO HIDE.
A fatal crash on a rain-slick road and a brutal murder in an English village set off a deadly chain of events, leading from stormy skies over the Mediterranean Sea to an explosive confrontation on a remote airstrip in North Africa…

But to keep her secrets, she must take a last-minute assignment to fly a covert cargo out of the country to a non-extradition nation, with no questions asked.
The cargo is a prisoner who may be the key to a violent terrorist conspiracy – but he swears he is an innocent man, wrongly accused of crimes he played no part in.
And as Kate races through the night, on the ground a team of ruthless killers are hunting the people she cares about, threatening their lives to force the pilot to hijack her own aircraft.
But do they plan to liberate the captive – or execute him?

My thoughts about Will Dean’s The Last Passenger is one of the best books I’ve read so far this year. Its one of those books that leaves you thinking of it, even days later. With the right amount of suspense, an amazing plot, and wonderful characters, The Last Passenger brings a well written story, character-driven thriller book that makes it truly interesting and highly recommendable. Will Dean’s The Last Passenger is a nail-biting, suspenseful thriller, chock-full of twists and turns. Every time I thought I had it figured out, it whisked me off in a new direction and it had me in its clutches right until the very end. Will Dean’s The Last Passenger tells the story of When Caz Ripley steps onboard the RMS Atlantica with her boyfriend Pete, it’s the start of the holiday of a lifetime. Caz is a homebird, a café owner slowly repaying a debt run up by her father when Caz and her sister were still children. Despite the fact that this week-long cruise from Southampton to New York is only her thirteenth date with Pete Davenport, she already feels that they might have something special; and when she discovers that he has sprung for the Platinum cabin, she starts to think that younger sister Gemma might be right: maybe this is an elaborate setting to pop the question. When a proposed trip to the ship’s casino forces Caz to reveal family secrets sooner than she planned, the pair end up having a quiet evening and an early night. When Caz wakes the following morning, Pete is gone. So, too, she quickly discovers, are all the other passengers. And the crew. RMS Atlantica is travelling full steam ahead across the Atlantic with nobody at the helm, and no-one else, seemingly, onboard, except for Caz Ripley. If you haven’t read any Will Dean’s thrillers yet, I strongly recommend this book. Writer Will Dean deserve an applause for writting a nail biting plot which makes the readers to sit in the edge of the seat. If you think you see where Will Dean’s book is going, trust me you don’t. I was felt shocked, I gasped, it was truly so well done that I will still be thinking about it for days to come. It’s a great mystery with so many twists and a shocking end you will not see coming. I would like to say a big thank you to writer Will Dean and publishers Hodder books publishers for kindly sending me a gifted copy for me to read and review this book which I’ve enjoyed reading on NetGalley. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
