When The Time Comes by Adele O’Neill . Blog Tour / Review

This is book 3 in this series featuring DS Louise Kennedy . The story is set in Dublin and centers around the sudden and suspicious death of a woman who has a very serious illness . Could it be murder or was it suicide ?? The deceased had a horrible husband who she had been separated from for a while but now he is under the glare of Gardaí in the investigation . I really loved the idea behind this story , the more I read the better it got . The plot was interesting from the very first chapter , and as the story goes on it gives us part of the story from different peoples perspectives and another part in flashbacks to before the death of the victim , which I very much enjoyed  . There was a couple of people in this book who’s motives seemed shady to me so I was keen to keep reading to see was one of them the killer .... I could not have been more surprised by the ending of this story when everything is revealed and it was so worth waiting for  ! I think if you love a good detective story with a strong female detective then you will love this , seeing the human side of DS Kennedy and what she was personally going through during the case makes you love her even more . 

I received this book in exchange for a review from Netgalley .

The Last Drop Of Blood by Graham Masterton . Blog Tour / Review

The Last Drop Of Blood by Graham Masterton . Blog Tour / Review 

From the opening pages of this Co. Cork based detective story I knew I was going to love it and I was right . 

Let me start with the fact that it was so refreshing to see so much of the Irish slang and general way of speaking in a story , although I am around it all the time you sometimes forget how utterly unique and special it is , we sometimes take it for granted , it was a delight to come across in a book . The love for this book does not stop there as it carries over to the back and forth banter between characters too , they are witty and interesting , there is no denying they are all great even if a few of them are complete rascals . 

When the story began with a Judge getting blown up I knew I was in for a hell of a ride with this plot and it did not let me down . Apart from gang related crime there is also someone randomly pushing people in the River Lee too and the body count is mounting giving the detectives plenty to occupy their time ... 

This was such an enjoyable story and it was made all the more exciting when I found out this is book 11 in a series , I cannot wait to read the rest of the books in this series featuring main character Katie Maguire . Go read this now , it does not disappoint. 

I received this book in exchange for a review .

The Last Drop of Blood– Graham Masterton

 

About the book

 

The final thriller in the million-copy-selling Katie Maguire series.

In the driver's seat of a Jaguar, on a country road, a good man burns.

Justice Garrett Quinn should have been at a sentencing. He was one of the good ones, fighting for order in a lawless world. In a burned-out car, on the outskirts of Cork, DS Katie Maguire finds what's left of him.

But this is only the beginning. The judge's death sparks a gang war fought with bullets and bombs, and civilians are caught in the crossfire. As the city spirals deeper into violence, Ireland's most fearless detective must find the courage to fight for her hometown one last time.

Katie Maguire is no stranger to sacrifice – but she has lost so much already. Facing new horrors each day, Katie must decide: can she do her duty when she has nothing left to give?
