A Rush Of Blood
The fourth chilling book in the critically acclaimed DS Jack Townsend series...
The past is never buried...
Years ago, DS Jack Townsend spent a year undercover in the Bell View Gang in his home town of Toxteth. One morning, he was pulled from the operation, and as far as the gang and their ruthless leader, Liam Mercer, were concerned, he was soon lost in the UK prison system.
Until now...
As the body of a shady business man is found murdered in the car park of a nature reserve, Townsend and the rest of the SCU find themselves with a list of suspects and an ever growing list of motives. But as the investigation takes turn after turn, Townsend is soon confronted with his vengeful past, and it's not only his life that hangs in the balance.
A RUSH OF BLOOD is the fourth instalment in the critically acclaimed DS Jack Townsend series, and is a must read for fans of LJ Ross, Angela Marsons and JD Kirk.

neat
And tidy. But with opportunity for more. Please say there is a book 5 that I just haven’t found? Somewhere? If not, I hope you get on and write it!

3.5 🌟
I came across this series last year and have loved reading them. I enjoy all the characters and have loved watching them evolve. This one tied into Jack's undercover work and I was excited to really dive into that. To me it took the forefront of the story compared to the murder in the book, but they wove them together in a way. I will say im glad everything was tied up. Or is it? This one would have been 4 stars, but there were SO many grammatical errors (no, not just the difference in UK and US spelling), but the author is self published so I get that. It just seemed like it really hadnt been proofread. The other books i never really noticed any or many if so, so maybe thats why it irked me more lol. Other than that another overall enjoyable book in the series!

I found this series on Kindle , this year and devoured the first 3, they are incredibly enjoyable police procedurals , with original and twisty plots and a continuity in each book that genuinely engages the reader.
They are all set around the Thames Valley in an area which was my home for decades, so for me there is fun to be had recognising and remembering different villages etc,Pinkneys Green in this one.
A fun read where Townsend past and present collide, Merseyside drug lords in the Home Counties a murder, a helpful loan shark, what's not to like.

I’m not sure what it is about this one but the killer felt a little anticlimactic for me. I much preferred the secondary storyline to the murder storyline, it made it much more fast paced and a really good read. There were quite a few grammar/editing errors that I’m not sure I’ve noticed in previous books in this series.

Brilliant
As always Mr Enright has delivered. Looking forward to the next episode. Love the characteristic. He doesn't paint them as perfect. The story makes you want to keep turning the pages. Highly recommend this series.

Worth the wait!
Like the SIX and Jack Townsend had never been away! Another fast paced story with all our favourite characters back. Plenty of twists and turns to keep you thinking. Roll on Book 5
