The Cellar by Stewart Giles

 


The Cellar by Stewart Giles- Crime

The bodies of 4 men  are found in a cellar. The strange thing is that one man was found in a room within a room with a door that could only be locked from the inside- and it was locked. There’s a journal written in Albanian which tells DS Smith and his team a little but other than the first names of the men, there’s scant detail to go on. The Pandemic is looming large  and the world is about to change. Why would they be in a locked room with no food and water locked from the inside?

The major issue I have with Stewarts books is that I get through them far too quickly as I enjoy them so much. There’s a plot line that hooks the reader from the start and characters that bring the whole thing to life so vividly. I'm in awe of Stewart. He’s a prolific author and each and every time, there is a cracking plot that has me totally engrossed and the adrenaline flowing. There’s the right balance of humour and seriousness and the characterisation is second to none. A stunning, thrilling, rollercoaster of a read. Loved it doesn't cover it.

The Cellar (A DS Jason Smith Thriller Book 26)

From bestselling author: Stewart Giles comes another brilliant addition to the Detective Jason Smith series.

Something nasty is happening in York. When the bodies of three men are discovered in the cellar of a house it soon becomes clear that their deaths were not peaceful. Detective Jason Smith is itching to get back to work after a case that almost killed him and he soon realises he's dealing with something he's never come across before. With a global pandemic looming, nobody in the city is paying much attention to the homeless people who are mysteriously vanishing from the streets. But Smith senses there is something more to this. Something else is happening here, and he's not wrong. A horror, far worse than he imagined is happening in a dark place somewhere in his city and Smith is going to have to face his deepest fears to stop it.

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.
