Book 3 of the Series - compelling story of a survivor of a plane crash killing his friends and helping them with unfinished business. (

)

booklovers2 | Oct 17, 2022 |

Eighteen months after a light aircraft crash, injured him and killed his four friends Detective Sergeant Carter MacLean is back at work. But his dead friends keeping turning up, until he realises that they each have a last request to ask of him.
Meanwhile DI Rowan Jackman and DS Marie Evans are concerned for him, so they keep him away from their cold case investigation - what has happened to Suzanne Holland, the wife of one of his dead friends.
Again another well-written mystery from this author, the third in this series, containing well-rounded interesting characters.
It can be read as a standalone novel
I received an Advanced Reader Copy from the publisher, Joffe Books. (

This isn't the regular Jackman and Evans investigation.While Rowan and Marie are working on a cold case, this story focuses on another Detective, Carter who is working a stalking case but wants to be put on the cold case. Carter sees dead people, not just any dead people but his 4 friends who all dies in a plane crash where he was the only survivor. He feels like he needs to complete certain tasks do his friends can rest. The first 3 are easy but the last task has to do with the cold case Jackman is working .
As usual, the story is fast paced, exciting and I didn't see the end coming the way it did.
Richard Armitage does an amazing job not only with the narration but with the specific accents required for the story location. I look forward to any Joy Ellis/ Richard Armitage collaborations.
