Danger on the Island

 

Danger on the Island by Stewart Giles- Crime

DI Liam O’Reilly is called after the death of one of a group of tombstoners- something he’s never heard of before. He’s rather sore and in pain as only a month ago he had a motorbike accident and badly broke his leg. He can’t stay sitting for love nor money so is better off at work. When the woman's body is recovered, her friends say there was something strange about her when she jumped. Those recovering the remains also find another body impaled on the rocks- someone has pretty much placed her there wanting her to be found. What on earth is going on? 

Oh boy! Another instant page turner of a read from the brilliant author that is Stewart Giles. It's a very clever, well thought out and executed (every pun intended!) plotline. There's something special when an author gets the reader invested and so liking the characters, that there's that reader's dilemma: The one where you want to know what happens but don’t want the book to end as you are enjoying it so much. Brilliant, stunning and every other superlative. Wowsers!

Danger on the Island (DI Liam O'Reilly mysteries Book 11) The Island of Guernsey isn't exactly a favourite destination for adrenaline junkies. But it does have one thing that attracts a new breed of adventure freaks. Cliff jumping is taking off on the island, and June appears to be the best time of year for those that way inclined to choose to partake in the sport. When a young woman is killed after a jump, her death is judged a tragic accident, but when her body is retrieved, and the remains of another corpse is found on the rocks below, the Island Police are brought in. It's the last thing Detective Liam O'Reilly feels like. Still feeling the effects of a case that almost broke him, he really doesn't need this. But when he drags himself back to where he once was, and starts to understand what he's dealing with he wakes up enough to realise he's dealing with something much more dangerous than the cliffs that people are jumping off. There is someone on the Island who likes to take things to the extreme, and O'Reilly is damned if they're going to do it on his island. -------------------------------------------------- What readers are saying about Danger on the Island ‘Oh boy!

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. I also have another series featuring an Irish detective who relocated to Guernsey, the Detective Liam O’Reilly series. There are also 3 stand alone novels.
