What Will Burn - James Oswald

 Can you believe this is book 11 in the inspector Mclean series by James Oswald? This has to be one of my favourite series ever and I'm so excited that I was asked to take part in the blog tour for his latest novel in the series 'What Will Burn'.

When the burnt out remains of an elderly woman are discovered in a woodlands in Edinburgh, its clear to Mclean that this isn't an accidental fire...but who would want to beat an elderly woman in her 90s and set her on fire? Could there be a more to this than meets the eye? 

With Tony back on the job and having been demoted he is keen to get to the bottom of this, he's actually quiet happy about his demotion and can now give his all to his cases instead of having to find excuses.

I love the supernatural twists that run through James's books, I think they're extremely clever and each book just gets better and better! The characters are on point and you become invested in them!

Although this is book 11 in the series, I thought it also well read as a standalone, so if this is where you have started it will still be a fantastic read.

What Will Burn is most definitely a 5* from me, from the very start you are hooked and want more! I can't wait to see what is next in store for us!

Fair Game - R.D Nixon

The addictive, gripping and unputdownable Book 2 in the Clifford-Mckenzie Series, although this is book 2 it reads perfectly well as a standalone as throughout the book it briefly keeps you up to date on what happened during book 1. After reading First Game, I will definitely be on the look out for book 1, Crossfire.  Fair Game kept me gripped until the very end and the twists were just incredible I never saw them coming, I actually thought I had worked out the murderer fairly early on but I was so wrong, I just love it when an author has that ability to completely trick you into thinking one thing and then later reveals a huge twist you don't see at all! This was a 5* read for me, very had to review without giving away the whole story, but definitely an author to start reading a d a series to start, I really hope there will be more crime fiction from R.D Nixon. Thank you once again to Anne for organising this blog tour through Random Things Tours and for letting me read and take p...

The Family Man - Kimberley Chambers

So today is my stop on the blog tour for Kimberley Chambers new novel 'The Family Man'. The Family Man is the start of a brand new series for Kimberley. What an explosive first instalment it is, as with every book I've read from Kimberly I found it very hard to put down. I love the way her writing just pulls you straight in as if you are actually there.  In this new series we meet The Bonds, hard Bond is Kenny, recently freed from doing a stretch inside after killing a policeman by accident, Kenny adores his family his wife Shal, his kids Donny and Sherry, his grandkids Beau and Brett, his mother and aunt Nell and will stop at nothing to protect them, especially when one is caused harm!! This is definitely a family you don't want to get on the wrong side of! This book of course also contains its fair share of "notrights"!! I definitely can't wait for the second in the series!! Hopefully it's not too far away!!! A must read for crime/gangland fiction re...

Kalmann - Joachim Schmidt

Today is my stop on the blog tour for 'Kalmann' by Joachim Scmidt, an Icelandic mystery full of humour.  I really enjoyed this book, I found it very atmospheric, humours and engaging. Although different for your usual mystery read I loved the originality around it.  Self appointed sherrif, Kalmann of  Raufarhöfn (a small town in the north of Iceland) comes across a puddle of blood whilst out Fox hunting. However instead of reporting the blood, he goes home to watch Dr Phil. It isn't until he is taken in for questioning we unravel the complex life of Kalmann Odinsson and how he became so engrossed in survival having learnt it from his grandfather. But by not reporting the puddle of blood stained ice could Kalmann have gotten himself tangled up in something far worse? Kalmann will not stop until he finds out what has happened.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish, I do hope we will see more of Kalmann in the future.  Thank you Anne at Random Things...
