CHRISTMAS ON THE ISLAND (# 6  Liam O'Reilly series) Stewart Giles- Crime

It's almost Christmas on Guernsey and the island is getting ready for the festive season. As the yacht club replaces the blown away decorations their Commodore is found dead on his boat with a gun in his hand in what looks like suicide. Trouble is he was well known spouting about his life insurance so surely suicide wouldnt be something he would contemplate? When other “ suicides” are found DI Liam O’Rielly has his hands full and iit’s not the turkey and pudding he was hoping for especially when one is literally on his doorstep.

I love this series ( although this would probably stand alone) . It's a wonderful, easy read with a little light hearted well placed humour. Liam has his rough side but you can't help but like him as he would defend you to the hilt (as long as you stayed on the right side of him) and he has that dogged tenacity to see justice done whatever it takes. The pages turn so very easily- to me the skill of a brilliant writer and the grey matter is kept active as initially there is little to go on as to whom the perpetrator may be. I fell for the curve ball and didn't see where this was going- clever. A brilliantly thought out, cleverly told page turning story. What more could a reader ask for ?

Christmas on the Island (DI Liam O'Reilly mysteries Book 6)

CHRISTMAS:

The silly season.

Or, the suicide season?

A string of suicides on the island arouses Detective Liam O'Reilly's suspicions. He understands that the suicide rate tends to increase during the festive season, but the ways in which these people have chosen to end their lives doesn't feel right.

As O'Reilly and his team dig deeper they soon learn there is much more to these apparent suicides than they initially thought and O'Reilly realises there is a seriously damaged mind on the loose.

Dubbed the suicide killer by the press, this madman will stop at nothing to get his depraved message across and O'Reilly is the only one who can put an end to his killing spree.

This festive season is one the Irish detective will never forget.

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 brought together the broody, enigmatic Jason Smith and the more level-headed Harriet Taylor. 

The Miranda trilogy is something totally different. A psychological thriller trilogy. It is a real departure from anything else I’ve written before. 

The Detective Jason Smith series continues to grow with book 16 recently published. The first 5 books in the Detective Liam O’Reilly series are now available.
