I was in the mood for a mystery-murder book, as I was looking what to read next on another bookshelf that I have some of the books that I had on my TBR before the watching booktube era. I picked it up and read the summary while reading the synopsis I had the feeling I was watching a British police TV series, and that's the mood I was in (after reading the Three Dark Crowns).
A small town nearby Newcastle where there is a lot of crime and money laundering and dirty politics. This book is part of a series that the main character is DI Jack Brandy. There is a murder of a young lady, and you find out that there are a lot of people that are involved in this murder.
It was a book that I couldn't and didn't want to put down. The last 200 pages I finished in one sitting with a small break for dinner. It is a series that you need to read in order because at the end of the book you had the four chapters of the second book of the series and there are some spoilers.
I like both the book and the writing of the author. I know that I want to continue with the series and find out what will happen with DI Brady and his ex-wife, Claudia, will DS Conrad, Brady's partner will get a promotion instead of the jackass DS Adamson that his behavior such brutal and chauvinistic behavior and treats people that owe him something because he is a copper.
Read with this book if you like British police murder mysteries, I know that the book for some people was predictable, I liked this book because it fulfilled my mood reading.… (altro)

I have really enjoyed all 5 books in this series, and the author isn't scared to pull her punches - not even sure how Brady gets himself out of bed in each morning. This book was very much a continuation from the last one but had quite a different feel to others in the series. Brady felt much more like a lone wolf in this one and up against it with two serial killers on the prowl! I notice the author has said this one can be read as a standalone and I did agree.
Quite a shocking ending which could change everything and I look forward to the next in the series which is due to be released later this year. I will certainly be picking it up. I can recommend this series.… (altro)

4.5 Stars. This is another excellent book in what is quickly becoming one of my favourite series. These books are set in the rough and tough streets of the North-East of England, in the coastal town of Whitley Bay. This is quite a gritty book centred around the hunt for a serial killer, who appears to have killed again after a gap of 30+ years.

If you like a good detective book based around a maverick detective, who thought not popular with his boss gets results, this is the series for you! This series has a rough and tough feel and you feel part of the investigation along with the tension of the investigation. Although a successful detective, Jack Brady's personal life is a car crash and this is a key element of the book. This book has great characterisation and I like Jack's relationship with his Deputy which adds flavour to the book. I thoroughly recommend the series! I look forward to reading book 5 soon.… (altro)
