DCI Jack Mason Crime Thriller #5 (really a prequel)
Quick intense easy to read novella length prequel to the DCI Jack Mason Crime Thriller series in which I met 28 year old Jack Mason – a soon to be new father and working his first case as Detective Sergeant at Hackney Central PD. The case is a brutal one that sees the badly battered elderly male die from his wounds. The home of the deceased pensioner has been robbed and the police believe that if they can find the stolen gold retirement watch it will take them to the murderer.
What I liked:
* Getting to know Jack – he seems to be a good man, dedicated to his job, a loving husband and eager to be a new father.
* Being introduced to Jack and his team
* The police procedural aspects of the story
* The gritty feel of the East End of London with the gangs, violence and fear the gangs created
* Brenda – Jack’s wife
* The plotting, writing and realness of the story
* That the mystery was solved and bad guys found
* The happy ending :)
* Reading a good book by a new-to-me author
What I did not like:
* The gang leaders – creepy guys for sure!
* The disregard for the lives of those who were brutalized by the gang members
* The murderer – but did enjoy his comeuppance
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Definitely
Thank you to the author and BOTBS for the ARC – This is my honest review.
