A LIFE FOR A LIFE BY CAROL WYER – BOOK REVIEW

PUBLISHED BY  THOMAS AND MERCER  ON 15th MARCH 2022

Nobody can get into the mind of an erratic killer—except an unpredictable detective.

When a young man is found lying on a station platform with a hole in his head, DI Kate Young is called in to investigate the grisly murder. But the killing is no one-off. As bodies start to pile up, she is faced with what might be an impossible task—to hunt down a ruthless killer on a seemingly random rampage.

Meanwhile, Kate has her own demons to battle as she struggles to come to terms with her husband’s death. And she is hell-bent on exposing corruption within the force and bringing Superintendent John Dickson to justice. But with the trail of deception running deeper—and closer to home—than she could ever have imagined, she no longer knows who she can trust.

With her grip on reality slipping, Kate realises that maybe she and the killer are not so different after all. But time is running out and Kate is low on options. Can she catch the killer before she loses everything?

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAROL WYER

USA Today bestselling author and winner of The People’s Book Prize Award, Carol Wyer’s crime novels have sold over one million copies and been translated into nine languages. A move from humour to the ‘dark side’ in 2017, with the introduction of popular DI Robyn Carter in Little Girl Lost, proved that Carol had found her true niche.

In 2021, An Eye For An Eye, the first in the DI Kate Young series, was chosen as a Kindle First Reads and became the #1 bestselling book on Amazon UK and Amazon Australia.

Carol has had articles published in national magazines Woman’s Weekly, featured in Take A Break, Choice, Yours and Woman’s Own magazines, and The Huffington Post. She’s also been interviewed on numerous radio shows, and on Sky and BBC Breakfast television.

She currently lives on a windy hill in rural Staffordshire with her husband, Mr Grumpy…who is very, very grumpy.

This series is really good and I love the character of Kate Young, she’s very ballsy with a tender streak running through you see occasionally. She knows there is something going on from the past and the more information she gets the more she wants to find out and blow it all open. Her difficulty is that she trusts no one and keeps it all to herself until she gets the evidence.

Carol’s books are excellent so once you start reading you can’t put it down, crime stories are definitely her thing. I also love that she refers to her husband as Mr Grumpy, makes me laugh when I see that.

This is a three-book series that I would recommend.
