Dark Game (Detective Kelly Porter): 1

Product Information

I enjoyed the build-up of the case, the plot twists as you wonder which suspect is the real culprit and the joy of the chase as the pieces are all put together and the puzzle comes to a close, this is what makes a great thriller. Honestly, it felt like the novel was mostly told from the perspective of the bad guys. There was an uneven plot development and limited accessibility to the main character, who should have been the most captivating touchstone for the reader.

Rachel Lynch prevails again and is fast becoming one of my favourite female sleuth writers... This book will keep you riveted’ **Reader review **⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unfortunately this book is not flawless and it is definitely not as good as the first one, “Dark Game”.

A rollercoaster ride… I’d give it 10 stars if I could .’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader review A dark and gritty fast paced thriller with a twisty turny, interwoven plot that had me excited to reach the climax' Gemma's Book Nook I just LOVE this series and this latest novel did not disappoint. Gritty, suspenseful and full of action with DI Kelly Porter at the top of her game... A well deserved 5 stars , cant wait for the next instalment!' NetGalley Reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book is gritty and is quite graphic in places especially when the people who no longer serve their purpose are ‘got rid of.’ Kahlil Dalmani, also a native of Algiers and a billionaire, is an oil magnate and has inherited an empire, AlGaz. His eldest son, 20 year old Hakim, attends university in Paris. Knowing the nature of his own lifestyle and its hazards, he has employed a bodyguard for his son. Unfortunately, despite precautions, Hakim has disappeared from the airport in Paris. The story is frighteningly realistic; the crimes, as they take place are described brilliantly... the next one can't come soon enough.' Nigel Adams Book Worm What a fantastic read! I loved this book , the characters were interesting and likeable and I can't wait for book 2 ! The plot was exciting and full of emotion and twists, it was just a really great book that I thoroughly enjoyed.’ NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Two cases become four and the pressure is on Kelly Porter to produce results. Not only are her higher-ups pressuring her, the press is having a field day, and the lucrative tourist trade in the beautiful Lake District is suffering as a result of the murders.

Twisted spellbindingly brilliant read you will be missing out on such a good book if you don’t read this one. Audaciously Brilliant’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I really enjoyed reading this book, even though parts were difficult to read due to the subject matter. This is the sixth book in this brilliant series & it goes from strength to strength, this book could be read on it's own but honestly this series is too good to miss.’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meanwhile, Kelly is also investigating two seemingly straightforward crimes: a case involving an illegal immigrant, and a robbery following the death of local businessman Colin Day. But evidence comes to light that reveals a web of criminal activity beyond anything Kelly imagined. Behind the veneer of sleepy, touristy towns lies a dark and dangerous underworld. As Kelly threatens to expose those with much to lose, she risks paying the ultimate price to get to the truth…” There was something about the writing that did not seem right. Some sentences felt as if created through a “cut and paste” process.

On a peaceful summer's morning in the Lake District, a woman's body is discovered outside a church. She's been murdered and a brutal, symbolic act performed on her corpse. DI Kelly Porter is in charge of the team investigating the crime, and is determined to bring the killer to justice. But as more deaths occur it is clear this is the work of a disturbed, dangerous and determined individual. Can Kelly put the puzzle pieces together before the danger comes closer to home?

Rachel Lynch is a very talented crime writer who **knows just how to keep her audience glued to every word !’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The story at first seems a bit meek. Kelly Porter is trying to unravel the murder of Lottie Davies. At the same time, there’s a business man, Colin Day is found dead in a hotel room. What follow is two cases that running in tandem at the same time and at one point crossed path. An out and out belter of a read… kept me gripped throughout. This is a series that I have loved from book one… the brilliant writing of Rachel Lynch never ceases to keep me glued to my Kindle .’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader review
