Augustine Boyle feels like he is failing. Failing his team, his career and the victims he has been assigned in his role as a murder detective. He gets another case that looks another in a long line of cases he can't solve. But something about it feels different. Then another victim comes his way and there are similarities at the scene. Suddenly Augustine Boyle and his team are hooked. InitiAl follows the path of Boyle and his team as they look to catch a killer with almost no clues. The team come together and fall apart at different stages of the investigation as the stress of looking for a needle in a haystack pushes down on them. Will Augustine get it together? Will his search for love get in the way of his work? Will these two worlds collide? InitiAl deal with themes of identity and relationship as the characters brush against each other the con fined spaces of a small city. Gripping from the outset, InitiAl is the detective thriller to take on the likes of Jo Nesbo.
A thriller that grips from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this book as it took me on a journey of two parts. One the detective and his team that are trying to catch the other - the killer. I won't give away the ending but I can say that there are plenty of twists and turns along the way. The book is written in a style that is reminiscent of the masters of this genre, such as Stieg Larsson and Jo Nesbo. It bristles with tension broken up with the odd slice of humour. The characters are perfectly formed and work so well together than you can picture yourself sat there in the scenes.
A must read for anyone looking for a new thriller author to follow. Must read!
