Motive: A Detective Jason Smith thriller- Stewart Giles- Crime/thriller

This is the next in the series of Detective Jason Smith crime thrillers #13. It will stand

alone but relationships etc will make more sense if at least some of the others in the

series have been read- and why miss out on other brilliant reads? Smith and Whitton

are off duty for 10 days………….so they thought, when they get a shout as there has

been a murder of a millionaire. No prizes for motive there is the first thought, until

another muder happens. Each one has the same cryptic clue at the scene written in

blood. What is the connection and why have these people been killed and what on

earth is the motive? I love this series. Jason Smith is a gritty says-what-he-thinks-and-

doesn’t- give- a damn type character although he does care about the right people

and his heart is very much in the right place. He has this knack of thinking very much

not in the box and when he says something isn't quite right (or in his language” this

stinks”) he is more often than not correct. There is a nice balance of character with

Whitton, his wife and their daughter and his equaliser in life- his pivot and love. This

is a wonderful series, brilliantly written every one has kept me very entertained

and wanting more.  One truly stunning read

MOTIVE (Detective Jason Smith #13) by Stewart Giles From # 1 bestselling author, Stewart Giles comes a new detective Harriet Taylor/Jason Smith thriller. In the week before Christmas, two people are brutally murdered in their homes. There is no sign
of a struggle and both victims have had their throats slashed open. Detective Jason Smith is on holiday for the Christmas period, but he finds himself in the middle
of the investigation before he knows it. There are no clues left at the murder scenes besides a bizarre series of numbers and letters left
in random places - E.6.T.0.M. Smith and the team are baffled. What is the relevance of this
ambiguous message? As the bodies start to pile up, and the tensions heat up within the team, Smith soon senses
that someone in his team knows more about this than they are letting on. Is there a rat in
their midst? And if so, who is it? And why is someone killing people without any obvious
motive? In the most bizarre case of Smith's career, will this be the murderer that finally
beats him? WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT MOTIVE: ‘Firstly I just want to say, Motive is one of this author's best books so far, it's got so much
action and twist's going on, I doubt this author will never ever bore me, Is there more on
the way? I hope so.’ – Booklover Bev ‘MOTIVE throws a horrific, inexplicable incident out of nowhere. Swamped with indecipherable
mysteries, heart racing suspense builds to harrowing proportions.’ – Eileen ‘I was so pleased to get stuck into another DS Smith story that I read this in one sitting!’

Stewart Giles – Author Bio After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them, I set off travelling
around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in South Africa, where we still live. In 2014 Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head and I came up with the idea for a
detective series. DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the first in the series was finished a few
months later. 3 years and 8 DS Smith books later, Joffe Books wondered if I would be interested in working
with them. As a self-published author, I agreed. However, we decided on a new series - the
DC Harriet Taylor: Cornwall series. The Beekeeper was published and soon hit the number one spot in Australia. The second in
the series, The Perfect Murder did just as well. I continued to self-publish the Smith series and Unworthy hit the shelves in 2018 with amazing
results. I therefore made the decision to self-publish The Backpacker which is book 3 in the
Detective Harriet Taylor series which was published in July 2018. After The Backpacker I had an idea for a totally new start to a series – a collaboration between
the Smith and Harriet thrillers and The Enigma was born. It brings together the broody,
enigmatic Jason Smith and the more level-headed Harriet Taylor. Miranda is something totally different. A stand-alone psychological thriller, it is a real departure
from anything else I’ve written before. This was followed by the sequel Mistress in 2019.
Medusa is coming soon The Detective Jason Smith series continues to grow and there are now 13 books including
the introduction: Phobia. Book 12: Deadeye was published in February 2020. Website: www.stewartgiles.com Twitter: @stewartgiles Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stewart.giles.33
