REVIEW

The Lightning Rod by Tony J. Forder

D.I. Bliss #10

 Every book in this series that I have read has been a tour de force and worth every moment spent reading it. Once again Bliss has shown his strength, led his team, and solved the original case that opens the story…what a WILD ride this one was!

 What I liked:

* D.I. Jimmy Bliss: widow, owner of Max – a golden retriever rescue dog, leader of a homicide team, intrepid, older, and considering his future

* Reconnecting with the team and finding out how they are doing

* Learning what an ‘urgent case review’ is, when it is done, by whom, and why it might be carried out

* The murder-suicide scene that proved to be more…and what it led to

* The police procedural aspects of the story

* Getting glimpses into the personal lives of some of the characters

* Being able to hate the bad guys and wondering what makes them tick

* Knowing I would NOT like to have been in the shoes of some who met up with the ‘fixer’

* The last chapter and wondering about the impact it had on the characters in that chapter as well as perhaps others

* Hoping that there will be another book in the series and wondering what will happen in it.

 What I didn’t like:

* Who and what I was meant not to like

* Knowing that the crimes and evil in this book is all too common in real life

 Did I enjoy this book? Yes

Would I read more in this series? Yes

 Thank you to the author and DLM Book Tours for the ARC – This is my honest review.

 DI Bliss attends the aftermath of an apparent murder-suicide – but the scene tells him and his colleagues something very different occurred. Now the Peterborough Major Crimes Unit face an adversary like no other. They have no idea why his victims had to die. They have no idea who he is. They have no idea where he might strike next – only that he will. But while the killer is cunning, leaving no evidence for them to find, his biggest mistake might be in underestimating the team now hunting him. Because when Jimmy Bliss is on the case, all bets are off.

 Tony J Forder is the author of the bestselling DI Bliss crime thriller series. The first seven novels, Bad to the Bone, The Scent of Guilt, If Fear Wins, The Reach of Shadows, The Death of Justice, Endless Silent Scream, and Slow Slicing, were joined in December 2020 by a prequel novella, Bliss Uncovered. The series continued with The Autumn Tree and Darker Days to Come, and The Lightning Rod will be released in December 2022.

Tony’s other early series – two action-adventure novels featuring Mike Lynch – comprises both Scream Blue Murder and Cold Winter Sun. These books will hopefully be joined in 2023 by The Dark Division.

Tony's first 8 novels were originally released by a publisher specialising in crime fiction. In 2020, Tony decided to strike out on his own, and subsequently negotiated the return of all publishing rights to himself. Each of those 8 books has subsequently been re-released under his own imprint, Spare Nib Books.

Tony lives with his wife in West Sussex, UK, and is a full-time author. He is currently working on the second DS Chase novel, The Predators.

REVIEW

The Huntsmen by Tony J. Forder

DS Royston Chase #1

 Excellent ~ Could not put this book down ~ Can’t want for book two!

 What I liked:

* DS Royston Chase: intelligent, committed, excellent at his job, speaks exactly what is on his mind, tenacious, follows the clues, husband, father, protective, caring, compelling character I look forward to getting to know better.

* DC Laney Clare: more than she appears to be at first glance, wise, knowledgeable, experienced, bright, grew on me throughout the story, great partner for Royston, looking forward to getting to know her better in the future.

* PCSO Allison May: interesting addition to the team, younger, has professional plans, wonder if she will appear in future books.

* Superintendent Waddington: politically motivated but underneath seems to still focused on doing what is right. I am on the fence about him.

* Maurice: referred to as “the spook”, lethal, job oriented, lives in a darker world than  most, willing to do what it takes to accomplish his agenda, have a feeling he will appear in future books and look forward to seeing him again.

* The story and how it was told

* Coming into a new series at the beginning

* That the author has shown his ability to create completely different but equally compelling main characters – Chase and Bliss are not the same though their jobs are similar – was impressed.

* The tactful handling of a difficult topic

* That the facts of the case were illuminated, the criminals exposed, and the case wrapped up

* Wondering if a few that seemed to “get away” actually did

* Being able to hate the bad guys

* That there was a bit of light at the end for some

* Having to wait for the next book BUT knowing this is just the first book in what will, hopefully, be a long series.

 What I didn’t like:

* Everything and everyone that I was meant not to like

* Knowing that the type of crime in this book is all to real and thinking about the lives of the victims of such crimes.

 Did I like this book? Yes

Would I read more in this series? Definitely!

 Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.

The Huntsmen, by Tony J Forder, is the first book in a new UK crime series, based in Wiltshire.

 The opener introduces the reader to DS Royston Chase and his new partner, DC Claire Laney. Chase is a family man and good at his job, but his lack of filter when speaking (caused by a brain injury sustained on the job) can cause problems. Laney is winding down towards her retirement, is bitter about having risen to the rank of DI only to see herself demoted back down again. She presents as a copper who no longer cares, but we find out otherwise. The two are supported by PCSO Alison May, who is ambitious and keen to join the force as a PC or preferably a DC.

BLURB

Multiple deaths following a road collision are hard enough to deal with. That the man responsible was the ex-Chief Constable of Wiltshire Police and a Knight of the Realm is worse still for those tasked to investigate the incident. But the real question they have to answer is: who was the now deceased naked female minor alongside him at the time?

 DS Royston Chase is living life as an outcast in a small Wiltshire village, and is called to the scene. Paired with the bold and strident DC Claire Laney, Chase is given the task of closing the case quickly and quietly.

 But when the minor’s DNA provides a familial link to a girl who vanished from her home twenty years earlier at the age of eight, Chase and Laney refuse to accept the coincidence. The pair start looking harder at the ex-cop’s life, at which point they encounter serious opposition. Perhaps deadly serious.

 Because the establishment looks after its own, and soon it’s not only their bosses getting in the way of a thorough investigation. Chase and Laney find themselves seemingly at odds with everyone, fighting to save their own reputations as well as the case. But neither will rest until they identify their young victim, no matter what the cost...

L'ODORE DELLA COLPA - Tony J.Forder, RECENSIONE

Titolo : L’ODORE DELLA COLPA Autore : Tony J.Forder Casa Editrice : Nua Edizioni  il dimagrimento che hai sempre sognato SCOPRILO ORA!! Recensione L’ODORE DELLA COLPA – Tony J.Forder Salve readers, oggi torno a parlarvi della serie Bliss di Tony J. Forder. Il secondo volume l’ho avuto su mio Kindle per circa un mese e ogni giorno mi trovavo una nuova scusa per posticiparne la lettura, il motivo? Il primo l’ho trovato pesante, troppo lento e anche se ben scritto, l’idea di leggerne un altro non mi entusiasmava. Ieri alla fine mi sono obbligata a cominciarlo, convinta che mi sarebbero serviti tutti i giorni ancora a mia disposizione per riuscire a leggerlo, invece L’odore della colpa mi ha conquistato subito, sembra quasi scritto da una mano diversa, tant’è che l’ho letto tutto d’un fiato. L’odore della colpa tratta una storia tremendamente seria in modo leggero, infarcendola anche di battute ironiche (cosa di cui il primo era totalmente privo), è stata una lettura scorrevole, una trama ben scritta e descritta, l’unico passaggio che ho trovato noioso è stato quello in cui descrive la strada che sta percorrendo. Un altro pregio che il primo non aveva è il pov del colpevole, che rende tutto molto più facile da capire e vivido.“L’anziana donna giaceva sulla schiena, braccia e gambe allargate come a formare una grande X. Il Read the full article
