Blood Games by Liz Mistry- Crime ( Standalone novel in the DS Nikki Parekh series)

+ # GIVEAWAY **************************

DS Nikki Parekh is struggling mentally when a boy is found dead who looks just like her nephew. There have been a series of killings with machetes in the area. Then a son of a friend goes missing and what appears to be his ear is sent through to his mother. A new man is in charge who appears to have his own agenda.Who is behind these attacks and why? There appears to be more than one attacker and now the tactics have changed. What on earth is going on? Family is always paramount and when there are tensions within the community Nikki finds herself pulled betwixt and between.

I love this series. There is always a good strong plot line, a fast pace and a warmth of character in Liz’s books- something you can get your teeth into and feel that there is a tenacity to seek out justice amongst a complex case. This time a crime that is part woven in family connections which puts an interesting twist on things. A brilliantly thought out, well researched plot and a wonderfully entertaining read. Loved it.

Blood Games THREE MURDERS. ONE MISSING BOY. THE GAME IS JUST BEGINNING…  When a body is found at the edge of Chellow Dene reservoir Detective Nikki Parekh and DC Sajid Malik are quick to arrive.  This is the third murder in the space of a few weeks. Each murder has a completely different MO, but there is one common theme… all the victims are teenagers. The dead boy reminds Nikki of her nephew, and she feels more helpless than ever.  But then another boy goes missing. And this time his parents have been sent a threatening package too. The pattern is different again – is the killer just playing a game? Can Nikki find the strength to uncover the shocking truth before the killer strikes again?

Author Bio – Born in Scotland, Made in Bradford sums up Liz Mistry’s life. Over thirty years ago she moved from a small village in West Lothian to Yorkshire to get her teaching degree. Once here, Liz fell in love with three things; curries, the rich cultural diversity of the city … and her Indian husband (not necessarily in this order). Now thirty years, three children, two cats and a huge extended family later, Liz uses her experiences of living and working in the inner city to flavour her writing. Her gritty crime fiction police procedural novels set in Bradford embrace the city she describes as ‘Warm, Rich and Fearless’ whilst exploring the darkness that lurks beneath. Being a debut novelist in her fifties was something Liz had only dreamed of and she counts herself lucky, whilst pinching herself regularly to make sure it’s all real. One of the nicest things about being a published author is chatting with and responding to readers’ feedback and Liz regularly does events at local libraries, universities, literature festivals and open mics. She also teaches creative writing too. In her spare time, Liz loves pub quizzes (although she admits to being rubbish at them), dancing (she does a mean jig to Proud Mary – her opinion, not ratified by her family), visiting the varied Yorkshire landscape, with Robin Hoods Bay being one of her favourite coastal destinations, listening to music, reading and blogging about all things crime fiction on her blog, The Crime Warp.
