Brilliant!

Wow this is the second book I have read in this series..I love detective books and this is right at the top..I cannot put these books down...I recommend for all the readers who like detective murder books ...with action and some emotion to give this a try..excellent! & now onto the next one.....

I do enjoy books set in a locality I know well and a book based on my hometown was a no brainer. well written and enjoyable, only downside knowing an area so well, you have to allow for the authors "artistic impression" especially when the book travelling about the area. Why did he go via there to get there? etc.

I will be buying the next in the series.

Whose Job Is It-anyway?

As our hero stumbles, recovers, and intuits his jobs. We are privileged to several tense moments rolling the story forward. Enright continues to develop his teams characters into a rememberable ensemble. Limited vulgarity. Quick read. Looking forward to more of the SCU squad.

I really enjoyed the story and have pre ordered book 3 in this series. However, only 3 stars because proof reading/editing is appalling. Wrong names are used and sentences don’t make sense. Many a time I had to re read for sense and to work out what names should have been used rather than those printed. This became quite annoying and spoilt the flow of the story.

I enjoyed the storyline.

However:

The reading for me was spoilt with the many poor grammatical errors.

I am reading the Kindle version if that is relevant.

On a number of times there was a double use of the same Pro-noun, within the same sentence. As if someone was transcribing the whole book manually and miss-typing.

Another excellent book! I love the characters and storylines and can't wait until the next book

This rating does not give enough credit to this series. I'm eagerly awaiting for the next book. I love Townsend!

another great storyline

This second book didn’t disappoint at all and there’s another great twist which I didn’t expect. DS Jack Townsend and team are like family and this comes across in each book.

One word Brilliant!

Another Brilliant read from Robert Enright, fast pacemakers and turns at every level. Jack Townsend is my new favourite police character. Descriptive writing from start to finish can't wait for book 3.

good story line

Enjoyed the book but thinking the editing could have been better. A few errors - wrong name used at one point and use of language a little bit ‘obvious’ . Strange and does detract from the story a little

Words don't hurt....

Enjoyed the development of the characters and the fact that it is set 'locally' makes it far more relatable for me.
A much better storyline with a palpable tension of divided loyalties.
Looking forward to the next one😀

Good story spoiled

Good story, spoilt by spelling mistakes, “her” instead of “him” Hannon’s title fluctuating between “DS” & “DC”.
Whoever was the proofreader needs to go to Speak savers!

[David Cox · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent series, now onto book 3. Highly recommend.
One gripe - the word decimate. It is often used incorrectly as if something is destroyed but the real meaning is to reduce by one in ten. Think decimal, decade.

[Guy Hamilton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another chase the killers for Jack Townsend.These are a thoroughly enjoyable read , the development of the characters in this second book is very satisfying.
Looking forward the reading the third shortly.
Definitely a recommendation for great story and police procedural.

book 2

Fabulous book lots of adventures for the detectives and I as a year in my ye a couple times. Parallel stories is great.

[Mr S · Rating 2 out of 5]

Mistakes in abundance

I am staggered that the author allowed a book to be published in his name with so many mistakes. A decent proofreader would have seen them a mile off.

[Lorraine White · Rating 4 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this book can’t wait for the next in this series

Very good

This was excellent. A really good series. I would recommend this crime series. It keeps you hooked. A good mix of police work and
and family life.

[Gary Melia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyed the book but there were spelling and grammar errors throughout, plus the wrong name of a character was used.

[Mrs V E Carroll · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyed the story line but I've never read a book with so many tips, grammatical does, misplaced words, which is very irritating and let's the book down. Proof reading desperately required please

[Jess Fairbairn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sigh same as the first book. Enjoyed the crime investigation the relationship were cringeworthy and over done.

[Alice Long · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another Winner 🏆

A great follow up with the main character from other books by this author. Good suspense and tricky plot. Enjoyed it thoroughly!

[Nicola Marshall · Rating 2 out of 5]

Good story but far too many spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and duplications/wrong names! It just spoilt the whole reading experience. Such a shame! I’ve never read a book with as many errors in it.
