The Bone Stalker. Victor Methos

Book 3 of the Vegas Shadows series

A deprived serial killer is trying to get into the head of Detective Lazarus, but why.

There is a hierarchy of people that have reasons.

The white supremacist Phineas (Deadeye) Walsh.

Judge Hope Dawson, who is running for the Senate

Police Assistant Chief Harold Dubbs, a career desk jokey who has no courage and can’t stand up for himself.

All of these people, and many others have reason to take down Lazarus, but they also have reason to bring down each other. It’s a type of vicious circle that is spiralling around the detective.

His friend Piper Danes is inevitably caught up in his manic investigation, and along with helping him investigate, she is also trying to nurse him.

Still suffering from serious injuries sustained in a previous investigation. Lazarus is also going cold turkey from the lack of alcohol.

He wouldn’t class himself as an alcoholic, but he is a typical hard drinking cop, and with trauma damage to his liver, and the medications he is on he has to stop drinking, and its taking an effect.

His judgment is questioned and when the murders start to connect back to him Dubbs bans him from the investigation.

The trilogy of suspects are all connected, and all of them have reason to get to Lazarus.

So when his estranged daughter decides she wants to know her Dad, it just another worry for him, another distraction.

Distractions are something he can’t afford. This killer is different. He doesn’t make mistakes, he leaves subtle clues only Lazarus seems to be able to pick up on. He kills in a ruthless manner.

For fans of the series you might have expected me to mention Piper Danes a bit more. But to be honest, with the exception of a side story about her family, and the fact that she is nursing Lazarus, she doesn’t have much impact on this story.

If you haven’t read the previous two books, The Silent Watcher and The Night Collector, I would highly recommend reading those first.

This book would not read well as a standalone and relates back to both the previous ones.

Conn Iggulden Nero Trilogy

Nero, Tyrant and Inferno

Taking nothing away from how Conn Iggulden writes, which is brilliant, but if you introduced a few dragons and a bit of magic into these books they could easily be in the same genre as books such as Game of Thrones.

For me this is a grown up version of the same type of stories found in those books.

Loosely based on history, and containing people who we know from Roman history, set immediately after the execution of Jesus, this series is a compelling read.

At the core of the series is a mother and her son. Agrippina is the granddaughter of a previous Emperor of Rome, Augustus. When we first meet her she has a young son, Nero who is no more than a toddler but already showing signs of his bullish future behaviour.

She is married to a man who was once a great Chariot racer but who is now a drunk living on his past fame.

Agrippina may have a bloodline to the past Emperor but it means nothing in the Rome of the early 1st Century.

Emperors are killed by those closest to them as power becomes the target of the people who hold important posts.

And although she holds no official post, there is nobody who has a craving for power more than Agrippina, and she will use whatever means she has to make sure she sits at the highest of tables.

She cannot become Emperor, so to get where she wants to be she either has to marry an Emperor, or ensure her son, no matter how tenuous his blood line, becomes Emperor.

Nothing will stop her and she turns to murder and incest in her relentless rise.

But will she succeed…………….it is no spoiler to say yes she does. History tells us Nero became a Roman Emperor, but she made enemies along the way, including her son.

Nero has seen her relentless push for power, he knows how dangerous she can be.

The way he deals with her is a big part of the plot of the second and third books and it is really interesting to see how Iggulden has weaved the plot around historical fact.

There are side stories throughout. Agrippina accompanies her Uncle/Husband Claudius on his invasion of Britain.

The size of the raiding army, and the logistics of its travel to, and ultimately invasion, of Britain is brilliant.

The in house politics of the Roman Empire, the nepotism of the leaders leading to ineptitude of duty is fascinating.

The underground rise of Christianity, with the one of the disciples, Paul, giving sermons and converting many to the new religion and away from following Roman Gods.

In the last book this really causes division as people start to look at the Emperor in a different way.

Nero doesn’t help himself with his erratic behaviour and stranger rulings.

His days are numbered but how will he ultimately meet his ending.

This is not my usual genre of book but I do occasionally dip into what I call proper historical fiction. Books by the likes of Ken Follett, CJ Swanson, and CS Forester.

These books always lead to a pleasant trip into the land of research and this series was no different.

The books are accompanied by forwards by Conn Iggulden where he notes that many of the characters are known to have existed, as did many of the events. But the way he has weaved the web of stories is extraordinary.

I would have blogged a review after the first book, but I just had to go straight to the second, and in the end did a back-to-back-to-back read of the trilogy over about a week.

Highly recommended.

Connie. Charlotte Duckworth

A simple cast of characters, a relatively simple plot, but a brilliant and absorbing story.

The characters, and there’s only really two, Connie and Olivia. Connie the serial killer and Olivia the middle aged mother of two twins.

But there’s much more to both characters.

From the start there is no doubt that Connie is a killer, in fact shes in prison serving a life sentence for killing seven people. She shows no remorse, and throughout the investigation, and still whilst in prison, she has never given any reason as to why she killed those seven random people.

Olivia is an ex detective. She took maternity leave when she had her twin boys, and never went back. Now, 18 years later, they have gone to university and she is bored. There is an emptiness in her life she tries putting down to empty nesting, or rather her husband puts does.

He’s a successful business man who earns enough for her to stay at home. But she has a bee in her bonnet, and it’s Connie Cross, the infamous killer.

Why?

Not only is she intrigued by the fact that Connie has never given a reason for the killings, but she also had dealings with her when Connie was a very young girl.

Olivia was the Family Liaison Officer assigned to Connie when her baby sister died suddenly at home.

The police would be involved in any sudden death but when Connie let it slip to a neighbour that she thought her Dad dad killed her the Police arrest him.

What had always been a bad relationship between father and daughter, as well as his abusive behaviour towards Connie’s Mom, make him an ideal suspect. But he is innocent and the relationships get even worse.

Olivia meets with an ex colleague, who is now a Detective Inspector and was part of the team that arrested Connie when her crimes came to light, and tells him shes thinking of writing a book about Connie. He tries to convince her to return to policing but helps her get access, as a visitor, to Connie.

What follows is Then-and-Now chapters as Connie’s story is told.

How she became a killer, why she killed the people she killed.

All the time Olivia is realising that her home life is not what she wants anymore.

But is that her choice, or is Connie manipulating her.

Because at the end of the day Connie just like to mete out justice in her own way.

You always hear the phrase on TV talent and reality shows. If you are going to do “simple” it has to be perfect.

This is the epitome of that.

It’s a simple story but it is written so well it is stunning.

It unfolds slowly, without being boring.

There are no shocks or twists that make it unlikely.

It is simply one of the best books I’ve read for some time.

Dissection of a Murder. Jo Murray

I want to start this review with two quotes, of quotes, from the book.

Are we just to accept you’re either the victim or the killer, and there’s nothing in between

And

A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer

Two paragraphs from early in the book that sum up this story.

There are twist and turns, there are hidden clues, some of which were so obvious, but only with the benefit of hindsight, and there is one hell of an ending

Leila is a Barrister and she is about to defend her client, Jack Millman.

There are a few things that make this a tense situation.

It’s Leila’s first murder trial.

The Victim was a well loved Judge

Perhaps the worst, her Husband is the prosecution Barrister.

Oh, and there’s one other thing. Millman pleads innocent but he won’t give any information to help build his defence.

He was arrested at the scene and has gone given no comment as his answer to every question the police has asked him.

A tactic he continues when he has his first meeting with Leila.

She has defended him before, on an assault case. He was innocent but found guilty.

Why?

Because he gave the police information about the girl he was protecting during the alleged assault. She was going to be his key witness, but she was got at by some powerful people and never gave her evidence in court. Worse still he was labelled a grass for accusing a gang member of assaulting the girl.

This time he’s giving nobody a chance to interfere with what he hopes will be a fair trial.

That is the main thread of the story, but there is also the nice in house soap opera that is the Chambers Laila and her husband work out of.

It’s a hard working law chambers where politics and “relationships” drive the narrative.

I like legs thrillers. The American ones are usually top of the best sellers but the British Legal system is so full of traditions and history; nepotism and old school ties, sex and scandal, that it makes for fascinating reading.

This is one of the best, in this genre, that I’ve read for a long time.

The Family Secret. Patricia Gibney

This series is a must read for all crime fiction fans, and The Family Secret, book 16, is no exception.

The title gives the plot away, you don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. The family showing a happy face to the public can be hugely different in the isolation of their own home.

It’s not the only isolation in the story. Detective Inspector Lottie Parker is newly single following a break up with one of her team, Boyd, and her mother’s dementia is getting worse, and her children and grandchild are always giving her worries.

One of the endearing things about this series is the soap opera that is Lottie’s life, and it plays a major part in this book.

As well as investigating murders and a potential kidnapping, she is being drained physically, and mentally, by things in her private life.

But the main focus is the crime.

A family murdered following a child’s Birthday party.

Twelve year old Freya is dead in her home, the day after her birthday party, and so are her mother and father. It’s a gruesome scene and all of the attending police officers are affected by what they see.

Kneeling at Freya’s side Lottie promises her that she will find the killer.

One key witness is Lily, Freya’s best friend who was supposed to sleep over after the party but changed her mind.

A luck escape, or an insight by somebody.

Before Lily can be interviewed properly she goes missing with her mother saying she had been “stolen” from her own home.

And so it begins. The hunt for a person who has murdered a family, and in all likelihood has kidnapped a child.

What are the secrets hidden behind the closed doors of both girls homes.

Are the parents really as they present themselves, or are there some dark secrets.

Patricia Gibney writes one of the most realistic crime fiction series there is on the shelves right now.

There will be people who have worked crime scenes that will make links to what she has written. In this book she tapped into the one thing that always plagued me.

The normality after the crime.

When she describes the first murder scene, following the birthday party, it was like she was inside my head.

Devastation in one part of the house and total normality in the rest of the premises. The detritus of the party, waiting to be cleaned up. A party dress that should never be part of this type of scene.

I know a few people that hated that normality as much as me, and in a few paragraphs Gibney captures it perfectly.

This story has real pace and is emotionally charged.

As far as fiction goes, it’s as good as it gets, and better than most.

The Quiet Kill. Robert Bryndza

London 1987 and Detective Constable Jamie Day arrives in London as a transferee from a uniform post in rural Norfolk.

On his way into the station, the day before he is supposed to start, he is sent to a murder scene. A young cop from the sticks he isn’t expecting his first incident to be a body chopped up and dumped in bags, but that’s what he gets.

Unfortunately for him this is just the first in a line of gruesome discoveries that lead Jamie, and his new team, to start investigating the gay scene where it is becoming obvious that a serial killer is active.

Jamie is keen to impress and his boss DCI Harry Dean is impressed, as is one of his colleges, WPC Tracy Steel.

But there’s always that one person in a team that has his nose put out by the newcomer, and in this case its ex vice copper DC Liam Cole, who takes an instant dislike to Jamie.

The serial killer investigation overlaps an internal police investigation which is looking at a senior officer who is deeply involved in the seedier, and more violent side of the gay sex scene, and police politics soon starts to make things awkward, especially for Jamie who is as naive to the politics as he is to the types of crime he is now investigating.

This is not a complex story. There is no “shark infested Custard” scenarios. Everything just slowly unwinds. In a very captivating manner.

Set in London, in the mid 1980s, it is set in the time when being gay was just about becoming acceptable, people were acknowledging that a gay life style existed, and that not all gay men were perverts. But it was also when AIDs was at its height as an incurable death sentence.

The police investigation in this story highlights the fear that was present both in the gay community, and also a largely ignorant general population.

It makes the investigation more sensitive and difficult.

It also shows the Met Police at a turning point. Female Constables were common place but they were still in uniform, which included a bowler type hat, a skirt, a woolly tights.

It amazed me that in the book, and in real life, even the female constables working with the plain clothes CID officers were still in uniform.

I was in the Fire Service during these times and I clearly remember female police officers turning up at incidents in these uniforms.

I also remember how scary the AIDs disease was, and the precautions we had to take when dealing with casualties at scenes.

Because I was there in those days I can vouch for how realistic the background in this book is. It brought back many memories of the way we dealt with incidents, and how the gay community was treated by the rest of us so called straight people.

The story also contains scenes which include gay sexual assault. The scenes are not gratuitous, and are completely within context of the story, but some readers should be aware that they are graphic enough to be triggering if you are affected by that type of thing.

Would I recommend this book. Yes I would, and as a bonus there’s a short story at the end.

I hope this isn’t a standalone story. I would really like to read more of Jamie and his career in the Met getting on for 40 years ago.

It wasn’t that long ago but reading this book it reminds me of what a completely different world we were living in back then.

The Gold Coast Quartet books 1-3. Iain Ryan

The Strip, The Dream, The Casino

A review of the first three books because the fourth is yet to be published.

I recently reviewed a book series set in the Ganglands of London over several decades, and Amazon being Amazon decided to show me books that I might like having read them.

Well Amazon hit the spot with this series, it is an addictive read from the first chapter of the first book, The Strip, into the second The Dream and right up to the last chapter of the third The Casino.

The series is set on the Gold Coast of Australia in the 1980s its a real old school crime noir.

Back then The Gold Coast was an up and coming place which bore more than a passing resemblance to Londons Soho of the 60s and 70s.

Run by corrupt politicians and small time gangsters who are gaining notoriety and strength.

The Police are corrupt beyond belief and a racket they nearly all take part in, known colloquially as “The Joke” , is making them very comfortable.

What makes it worse still is that most of the police are not only on the take, but they are lazy and unambitious when it comes to solving crime. Why would they want to lock people up who are lining their pockets.

The Queen of crime in the area is Colleen Vinson. A Madam extraordinaire and an extortionist. She has used her brothels to take pictures and films of all of her more powerful clients and she basically has everyone of any importance in her pocket. From street cops to judges, from local business men to the highest politicians, she has something on all of them.

Anybody who steps out of line with Colleen can expect to be the victim of, at best, some very physical violence, at worse they just disappear.

But there are some people trying to make their way legitimately. Trying desperately to clean up the area from within the Police, and elsewhere.

The Strip

The scene setting book that contains a cracking story and introduces most of the main players in the series, but don’t get to engaged with any of them, because nobody is safe and not all of them will make it to book two.

Initially there are six murders, which the local police are desperate to lump into one case blaming a serial killer.

Detective Lana Cohen has been leant to the task force looking for the killer. Her boss in Brisbane also wants her to keep an eye on the local cops because the rumours of their inefficiency and corrupt practices have reached the leaders of the state.

She’s convinced that there is more than one killer, why would one killer strangle their first victims then completely switch methods and start shooting the later victims.

She’s teamed up with Henry Loch an Officer whose career is already in tatters and has no real interest in solving the case.

She does find a cop who is willing to help and wants to get the Gold Coast clean. Detective Bruno Karras is as close to a clean Officer as she can find, but can she trust him, and what is the secret he is harbouring.

The story climaxes in the last few chapters and as with all of these books it can be read as a standalone but it sets the scene for book two.

The Dream

The Gold Coast has its very own version of Disney World, or it will have if its owner ever finishes the build. And that is the problem there are a lot of powerful people that want the project finished, and some that don’t There is a lot of money invested in and around the project. Clean and dirty money.

Mark Nichols is a fixer who works for politicians and he’s sent to make sure that Fantasy Land is opened on the latest deadline. What he finds is a dysfunctional family business being worked by corrupt officials.

Far from solving the issues Nichols becomes part of the problem, getting entwined in the drugs and prostitution surrounding the project and inevitably becoming one of Colleen Vinson’s victims.

Bruno Karras is still on the force and he is on the hunt for a missing family, but he’s not the only one. Private Investigator Amy Owens is also carrying out an investigation that brings her close to Karras. They might want the same outcome but it’s for completely different reasons.

How does the missing family tie in with Fantasy Land. Well on the Gold Coast everything seems to revolve around drugs and prostitution. Surprisingly that means that Colleen Vinson is involved.

Karras and Owen both need to be on their guard.

The Casino

This story is like the splintered glass of a broken window, every crack leads to a single point. There is not one word in this book that is wasted in the weaving of a brilliant story.

The last few chapters bring it all together in a perfectly understandable conclusion.

A severed hand found on a beach brings Detective Lana Cohen back to the fore of the ongoing story.

She’s back on the Gold Coast in a dead end job, punishment for her involvement in solving the crimes in the first book.

She is still trying desperately to compile enough information on the corruption in the police force to bring the Joke down and clean up the force, but she has to do that in her own time, between mundane police tasks.

She starts to work with Vince Walter’s, and Internal Investigations Officer once known as Miami Vince because of his wild life style he claimed was all part of bringing under cover. But he’s an addict and his addictions are not as under control as he tries to make out.

Ewan Hayes is a private investigator who is hired to find a missing person. This person is also part of Cohen and Walter’s investigation.

Everything leads to, and revolves around the newly completed super Casino Complex, the first on the Gold Coast and Colleen Vinsons Dream, but is it hers, no spoilers allowed and it would spoil the previous book.

What I can say is Colleen’s not happy and she is looking for some missing people herself.

As I said earlier this is a complex story and at times, as enthralling as it is, I wondered how it would all tie in but it does, and out of a brilliant three book series, so far, this is the best of the three.

I can’t wait for book four to be published to see how this is all going to end.

I was interested that in the acknowledgements at the end of the book Iain Ryan thanks authors he has read who have influenced him. One name stands out for me as being really relevant. James Ellroy. The writing style is not the same but the complexity of the stories, the way one book naturally acts as a stepping stone into the next, the way no character is safe, the way that a chapter in book one somehow has relevance in another chapter in later books, all make this series an equal to Ellroy’s trilogies and quartets.

For those with Kindleunlimited the first two books are available free in the U.K.

Wicked Women. Angela Marsons

It must be every Police Officers nightmare case. A completely random murder of a woman who has no enemies. She has done nothing wrong, or has she.

When the first body is discovered that is what Kim Stone is faced with, but everybody has secrets, nobody can have gone through life without upsetting somebody. Can they?

Then a second body, again seemingly random, again no enemies.

But when the teams start digging, are they going to find connections between these two innocent people, is there a link, maybe they are not so squeaky clean as they first seemed.

What I loved about this part of the book is the way Angela Marsons has looked at the way people look at other people. One mans innocent is another mans, or woman’s, villain.

Nobody can go through life without upsetting somebody.

Sometimes just doing your job, or going about your day-to-day business can upset the wrong person, but where is the overlap between the victims.

When a third body is found the team really do end up scratching their heads because this one really does seem totally innocent.

Meanwhile a long standing feud between two neighbouring families in a rural location is providing Kim with a side bar head ache.

Why do two neighbouring families hate each other so much, and what is it that finally trips one of them over the edge.

Angela Marsons has done it again. Without giving too much away she has managed to write a completely compelling and realistic story which has included elements of society that, although we don’t see every day, certainly exist and are probably closer to home than most of us care to admit.

The interaction between Stone and her team is brilliant, and I love the ongoing side stories of their personal lives, but it’s Stone herself I most engage with.

There is something about her personality, the way she thinks, and the actions she decides on, that make these books special for me.

I’ve been with this series from the beginning. In one of my very first blogs, before this series started, I said I didn’t like long books, or authors who published more than one book a year. Well I’m happy to say Angela Marsons has proved me wrong.

This is book 23 in the series, and they are published about every six months, and this is by far my favourite series of crime books, and it just keeps getting stronger.

Her Cold Justice. Robert Dugoni

Dugoni is at leat the equal of Grisham in the world of courtroom and legal thrillers.
For me this is the best American Courtroom Thriller series on the bookshelves at the moment.

As I’ve said in a previous review about a book in this series, every legal thriller coming out of America is always going to be compared to John Grisham, and just like the previous two books in this series, this book more than holds its own in the company of Grisham books.

Defence Attorney Keera Duggan has stepped out from her father’s shadow and is building a fierce reputation as a Defence Attorney.

But shes not cheap. So when a relative of her chief investigator is arrested for murder there’s no way he can afford her services.

Keera, her father, and her sisters run their own law firm and decide to register as a pro bono firm to take on his case, and in doing so take on the most formidable public prosecutor in Seattle.

Anh Tran, whose nickname is Batwoman because shes trying to clean up the city, is a power house both in, and out, of the courtroom.

As a child she hid under a bed and watched as her parents were executed in a robbery in their small shop. Since then she has sworn to bring justice and has dedicated her life to convicting murderers.

Michael is accused of murdering his work colleague and his colleagues girlfriend. The colleague was shot in his garage and his girlfriend was battered to death in her bed.

The only thing that brings Michael into the frame is the fact that the work colleague gave him a lift home shortly before the murder.

Tran is quickly on the scene and starts to issue search warrants instantly targeting Michael, on very little evidence.

But more incriminating evidence is found during the search of his home. Although all of the evidence is circumstantial, and there is no solid evidence to suggest his involvement, Tan arrests Michael and fast tracks him trough court.

Keera quickly becomes suspicious of how Michael was arrested but the problem is she is very friendly with one of the lead detectives. Could Detective Frank Rossi and his partner really be part of a bad arrest.

Meanwhile Rossi and his partner are feeling railroaded and although they think they have the right man for the murders, they don’t like how the investigation, arrest, and trial were conducted.

As with the other two books in this series the crime takes part early on in the book with a good 2/3s of the book being about the pre-trial work and the actual trial itself.

Robert Dugoni is really good at building up the tension.

The court room scenes are brilliantly written. The examination and cross examination of the witnesses is so well written it’s like actually being in court.

Keera is a top class chess player, and she uses all of her tactical skills in the court room, but in this case she’s up against a woman who is willing to push the boundaries right up to the breaking point.

That, plus the fact that there is no love lost between the Judge and Keera’s father, who was also a formidable defence attorney, make for a very tense trial.

If you haven’t read the previous books in the series, Her Deadly Game and Beyond Reasonable Doubt, I would recommend that you do. Not because this book can’t be read as a standalone, it can, but because they are brilliant stories and will only enhance your enjoyment of this one.

Bring on book 4, I can’t wait.

The Octagon. C. J Merritt

There’s a massive gap in the book market for decent espionage thrillers.

This book fills that gap very nicely thank you.

My formative years of reading, when I really became a proper bookworm , was the mid to late 1970s.

Back then this type of book was a staple in all bookshops.

Writers like DeMille, Ludlum, MacLean and the likes were my favourite reads.

With the exception of the early Tom Clancy books this genre has been sadly neglected ever since.

Until now.

Merritt is right up there with those authors, and has looked at today’s international security threats and come up with a brilliant story.

Stella McRae is a former MI6 Agent runner who is now working in the private sector, having set up her own Intelligence Agency.

When a former colleague is killed after giving her a drunken, rambling, cryptic brief into a current threat she feels compelled to look into it.

Tommy Kane is an ex SAS soldier and the only person Stella trusts to help her as she tries to uncover the threat by moving through Europe.

Back home her only employee Hoss, a nerdy social media and gaming geek, is trying to unravel the cryptic clues given by Stella’s friend, and the new ones she and Tommy are uncovering.

None of this story requires the reader to suspend reality, in fact it’s frighteningly realistic.

As Stella and Tommy work their way through Scandinavia and Europe they begin to uncover a plot to destabilise Europe.

Mystery figures lurk in the back ground prying on local extremest groups and hatching a plot for a multi city terrorist attack.

The one thing Stella’s friend told her in plain, straightforward English, before he was murdered, was “don’t trust anybody. They have people everywhere”

So going it alone is the only option for Stella and Tommy.

But is that a wise move.

A ritualistic murder marks the start of the terror campaign, but is only a small event that goes largely unnoticed.

The main event is days away and the consequences will be horrific and far reaching.

Tommy and Stella push themselves to their limits but will they stop it in time.

I got invited to read the ARC of this and I’m so glad I said yes.

There is no cliffhanger ending but there is an opening for a follow up, and just the thought of that has me excited.
