A fast-paced enjoyable thriller

An excellent and absorbing book. It was a fast paced, exciting story tracking Harry Taylor on his quest to avenge his brothers mafia killers. Ben Drury who was the DI in charge of a squad monitoring Harry Taylor's movements was ideal in his role and he even started a love affair while lots of action and killing was going on. A pity that Harry died in the end - was that necessary? I don't think so.

This is the third book in the Matt Barnes series and again found the detective inspector deeply engaged in tracking down a homicidal maniac who had a very unpleasant need to keep killing women in order to stop his dead mother haunting his mind. As usual this was a fast paced exciting book but did tend to follow the same process as the previous two stories. Michael Kerr needs to be careful not to overplay the format of this type of story.

Another superb second book in the Joe Logan series that kept me on the edge of my seat for all of the time I was reading the book. It is fast paced and well written. Joe Logan is a lone vigilante type ex-cop who gets involved in solving a murder of a young girl. Brilliant story and I can't wait for another Joe Logan adventure.
