Bloody Butcher is a fast, gritty crime thriller that throws Jack Lunn and Gem Bryce straight back into chaos. From the first discovery in the forest to the tangled web of missing weapons, grow houses, and international players, the story never slows down.
The plot is packed with twists, shadowy deals, and real danger, while Jack and Gem remain sharp, believable, and easy to root for. A.J. Hill blends dark crime with clever pacing and sharp dialogue, making this a gripping second installment that keeps you guessing right up to the end. Fans of modern crime thrillers will fly through this one.

Bloody Butcher was impossible to put down gripping, clever, and wonderfully atmospheric. It felt so good to be back with Jack and Gem, who truly shine in this fast-paced, twist-filled mystery. The balance between dark crime and cosy storytelling is perfect, and I found myself constantly saying, Just one more chapter. Highly recommend to anyone who loves smart, character-driven thrillers this series just keeps getting better
