Hi Friend
First of all, I hope you are safe and well? You may be, a key worker, admin staff working from home, on a furlough contract, or retired and isolating during these troubling times. But one thing is for sure, this is everyone’s new way of living at present, and we are all looking for distractions and ways to cope.
Bearing this in mind, I'd like to provide you with an entertaining distraction in the form of my new compelling police procedural... A Place of Reckoning.
But given that everyone’s budgets are tight, mine certainly is, I'd like to offer you hours of escapism and reading pleasure for less than the price of a loaf of bread!
For the next few days only, my gripping crime thriller A Place of Reckoning is half price! |

Book Bloggers and readers have given the book 5 STAR reviews on Goodreads and Amazon.
But don't just take my for it, here's what one very happy reader posted on Goodreads.
Mar 30, 2020 Heather Withington rated it it was amazing
It was great to catch up with Detectives Blake and Murphy, as the two detectives go on the hunt for a kidnapper and killer. The plot moves at a great pace, with the reader not being sure what is on the next page, it makes for an incredibly compelling read.
I was completely engrossed throughout, with Burgess’ writing making this an emotional and enjoyable roller-coaster of a read.
Both Blake and Murphy were back on form in this book, with their banter and relationship being a nice undertone throughout – it is a healthy friendship that is borne out of respect and is clear throughout the novel (this was one of my favourite elements of the first book and I was happy to see it continue).
Lucy Stryker was a great addition, changing the dynamic subtly, and she was so well thought out and written I hope to see more of her in future novels. The partnership between the three is one of my favourite things throughout this novel and I can’t wait to see it develop.
Annabelle was such a sympathetic character, and I loved her parts in this story as it was so interesting to see how she was reacting to the whole situation. Burgess is able to create tension and unease throughout the book, but more so in Annabelle’s sections due to the nature of her story.
The rest of the cast (with Patrick and Olivia are stand outs for me) are also multifaceted and the reader will develop sympathy even for the villains of the piece. It makes for a set of characters that will remain with you for a long time after you have put the novel down.
The story itself is well thought out and has some high tension moments that will keep the reader at the edge of their seats. The two plot lines are expertly interwoven, and the flow of the story is maintained throughout.
I loved the pacing and how the story was told, although I did not solve the ending I certainly was not disappointed. The book starts off strong, drawing the reader in and continues to do so until the last page.
The ending is a bit of a cliff-hanger and I am excited to see where Mr Burgess plans to take this series.
From the publisher:
Whether you’re a domestic suspense super-fan or someone who always reaches for the next action-packed police procedural for your monthly dose of thrills, I guarantee A Place of Reckoning will help you while away the hours during this worryingly uncertain time.
Murder, mystery and deadly secrets are peppered with a smouldering romance in this chilling psychological murder mystery full of suspense and deadly twists.
It’s perfect for fans of, L.J. Ross, Peter James, Val McDermid and Robert Bryndza. |
