DI Tanner #2
A girl thrown from a church tower, a man sacrificed to Satan, and a priest murdered at the hands of the Devil.
When the body of an old man is found lying in the ruins of St Benet’s Abbey, his throat cut, a knife resting in his open hand, DI John Tanner and DC Jenny Evans are given no choice but to accept a ruling of death by misadventure.
But when the body goes missing from its tomb, after a priest is found nailed to a cross, and another impaled on a stake, everything begins to point back to the murder of a teenage girl, thrown from the top of a church tower, some forty-three years before.
My review
OOOH wow, DI Tanner is back and how! I loved, loved the first book and I thought it would be hard to match this high level of entertainment but boy was I wrong. The author not only stayed on the same level but I think he might even topped it.
I not only enjoy the way the author structures his books but he made a very loveable duo whilst creating DI Tanner and DC Evans. They work very well together and their banter is pure gold.
When Sarah invited me for the tour I did not hesitate one second. I have the book already for some time on my ereader and every time I had to control my fingers. They were twitching. They wanted me to open the book but I have a schedule to follow and finally yesterday it was party time. 🙂
So in a nutshell : the writing is wonderful, the story is great, the characters are awesome. This author’s books have everything I think a book in this genre should have.
This one is once again true gem that deserves all the stars.
Thank you, David Blake and Book On The Bright Side Publicity & Promo
