Imagine you're at the top of your game, the CEO of a successful company, and suddenly you’re plotting your own murder to pull off a massive fraud. Intrigued? You should be. Risen from the Ashes by Jeffrey Kershaw is a psychological crime thriller that pulls you into the mind of a psychopathic anti-hero. Kershaw, a seasoned solicitor, brings his deep understanding of the legal world to craft a story that is as intellectually stimulating as it is thrilling.
Risen from the Ashes centers on Geoffrey Paget-Lowndes, the CEO of Solstice, a company that supplies military equipment to Third World countries. Geoffrey is not your typical businessman—he's a psychopath with a penchant for manipulation and deception. He devises an elaborate plan to stage his own murder and frame his Chief Financial Officer, David Pearson, for the crime. The novel follows Geoffrey's meticulous escape and the desperate attempts of those around him to clear David's name. What sets this story apart is its intricate plot, filled with unexpected twists and high-stakes courtroom drama, ensuring you’re hooked from the first page to the last.
Kershaw’s writing is clear, engaging, and highly readable. He has a knack for making complex legal and psychological concepts accessible without dumbing them down. His prose is precise and evocative, painting vivid scenes that pull you right into the action. The narrative voice is compelling, maintaining a steady tension that keeps you turning the pages.
The characters in Risen from the Ashes are a standout feature. Geoffrey Paget-Lowndes is chillingly believable as a psychopath, his lack of remorse and cunning making him a fascinating anti-hero. David Pearson, the unfortunate scapegoat, is portrayed with depth, evoking both sympathy and frustration. The supporting cast, including the determined solicitor Peter Aldridge and the unwitting mistress Celine, add layers of complexity to the narrative. The themes of deception, power, and the darker aspects of human nature are explored in original and thought-provoking ways.
The plot is intricately woven and expertly paced. Kershaw masterfully balances suspense with well-timed plot twists, ensuring that the story never loses momentum. The structure, which includes alternating perspectives and flashbacks, enhances the narrative by providing a comprehensive view of the characters' motivations and actions. This careful organization keeps readers engaged and guessing at every turn.
At its core, Risen from the Ashes delves into themes of greed, manipulation, and the facade of success. Kershaw explores how power can corrupt and how deception can become a way of life. The book also touches on the emotional toll of wrongful accusations and the lengths to which people will go to protect their reputations and loved ones. These themes resonate with real-world issues, making the story both relatable and thought-provoking.
This book is an emotional rollercoaster. The tension and suspense are palpable, and the twists and turns keep you guessing. There are moments of despair, anger, and relief that are expertly interspersed, creating a dynamic and engaging reading experience. The revelation of Geoffrey's true nature and the resolution of the plot are particularly impactful, leaving a lasting impression.
The book's greatest strengths lie in its compelling character development, intricate plot, and Kershaw's ability to maintain suspense. The courtroom scenes are particularly well-executed, showcasing the author's legal background. Passages that delve into the psychological aspects of Geoffrey's character are both chilling and fascinating, adding depth to the story.
While Risen from the Ashes is a gripping read, it does have a few minor flaws. There are occasional chronological inconsistencies and a few spelling errors that could have been caught with more rigorous editing. Additionally, some aspects of the plot may seem implausible to certain readers, though this does not detract significantly from the overall enjoyment of the book.
Personally, I found Risen from the Ashes to be an exhilarating read. The complex characters and the unpredictable plot kept me engaged throughout. As someone who enjoys psychological thrillers and legal dramas, this book ticked all the right boxes. Kershaw's insight into the legal world added an extra layer of authenticity and intrigue, making the story even more compelling.

Grief, fear, and tension grip the city of London, specifically the family and the people of the murdered CEO of Solstice Company. Questions everywhere and hints pertaining to clues associated with the mysterious death of GeoffreyPaget-Lowndes, leading to an extraordinary twist in the plot that will undoubtedly take your breath away. In the first pages of the story, I felt pity for the wife for losing a husband her age, especially since they are going to have a baby after years of not planning to have one. Fortunately, the insurance company made it possible for her to have 5 million dollars worth of money to sustain all their needs. However, I didn't anticipate that the end would be such a burden for her, especially knowing the truth about her husband cheating on another woman and even trying to marry her. Additionally, the insurance company is also forcing Emily to have their money back upon knowing the real motive behind her husband's death. It was packed with several plot twists and I've never been more entertained than I was with this one.

The ending was a bit of a cliffhanger, stimulating many questions in my head of what could have happened further in the story. And it was good, as it stirs a lot of curiosity in me, keeping me engrossed throughout. Risen From The Ashes is about a very successful man named Geoffrey Paget-Lowndes who is a psychopath, a murderer, and a master of fraud. He framed David Pearson for the crime of murdering him by setting fire on his body and turning them into ashes. However, through the help of a young and intelligent man named Mr. Peter Aldridge, the complex case of the inexplicable disappearance of the CEO of Solstice is about to be resolved. Geoffrey Page personally committed fraud, defrauding the Solstice Company of a large sum. He was seemingly good at planting evidence and clearing any prints that would identify the truth behind his death. I really enjoy the plot and the twists and, surely, you would as well.

I certainly love murder mystery stories and this one is among the best ones in the market. The beauty of this book is that as you go along the story, the plot gets more intense and more perplexing. It's hard to predict what could happen next for there are so many twists and turns that would definitely captivate your interest. The character that I like the most here is Roger Bryce. Although he is the antagonist, the fact that he was able to pull off an apparently flawless murder scheme on himself without leaving any traces of his existence is an immensely impressive and genius move. It took me a while to solve the case which is not actually about the murder of the CEO, but rather a fraud, an inside job committed by a dead person. But how? Well, you would actually learn everything in the story. And to tell you the truth, it's blasting with the interesting and spectacular escape adventure of Mr. Geoffrey Paget-Lowndes.

I've been eyeing this book for a while until I finally obtained it. It surpasses all my expectations, going beyond and above what I've anticipated it would turn out to be. I've never read such a very compelling book with a very thrilling plot that it left me feeling giddy with anticipation. I love the dynamic of this book, as it began from arresting David Pearson for murdering the CEO of Solstice to knowing the truth whether he is really guilty or not. At first, I thought David was just lying about the fact that he's not the mastermind of the CEO's death. However, as I read through the book, I discovered a lot about how it was actually planned to make it appear as though an innocent David committed the murder. I didn't know John Troughton would reveal himself as the least likely person that you would probably be suspected of committing such a crime.

Fathers' love is really unconditional and they will certainly do everything in their power to support you and to stay behind your back on your ups and downs. This type of love is demonstrated in this novel, which is a mixture of mystery and murder. I adore how John Pearson approached Peter Aldridge without any reservation and pleaded with him to assist him in clearing his son's name. He was prepared to spend whatever was necessary to have his son released from prison following an erroneous conviction. That small deed of his father made me appreciate and remember the goodness of my deceased father. It's so wholesome that he really believed in his son's innocence and ultimately secured David Pearson's justice and release. The plot was superb, brimming with so many unexpected stories after stories that would keep you overwhelmed throughout your reading.

The character of Celine in the story represents all the mistresses who were duped by clever deceit perpetrated by a married man who is dissatisfied with their woman and is unfaithful. Sometimes, it's not always the mistresses' fault as they are uninformed and they were made to believe that they're the only woman in their boyfriends' life. It's a wake-up call for all women out there that we shouldn't blame the other women, it's not an excuse for your man to cheat and it's his only fault why he did such a lewd act. Before we pass judgment on the mistresses, let us hear their entire narrative to see whether they are worth all the bashes or they are also the victims.
Without a doubt, the novel is brimming with not just a mystery-filled storyline but also life lessons. Some scenes will move you emotionally and make you fall in love with the characters.

Risen From The Ashes goes beyond the story of a slain CEO of Solstice Company; it will reveal something significant while delivering scenes of gut-wrenching anguish. I had not anticipated such an excellent narrative in this work. It's packed with moments that pique your interest and bring out the sleuth in you. Actually, I was amazed at how well-planned the murder of Geoffrey Paget-Lowndes was that the marks would lead to David Pearson killing him who, in fact, did not. That is the intriguing part because you have no idea who the mole is and you can be certain it was an inside job because the crime was flawlessly made.
I cannot lie that the graphics of this book are not quite engaging. However, the story is extremely enthralling which is worth every penny of yours. For sure, it can be fixed to make this book more enticing and captivating to the eyes. Overall, it was a great book.

The moment I grasped the truth behind the mysterious murder of Geoffrey Paget-Lowndes, I was shocked at what could possibly be the reason why he did that. I mean, he is a very successful man and he has all that he needs to live yet he did such a heinous and pernicious plan. The murderer was indeed a psychopath as he has no remorse for murdering or exacting revenge on others. Even at an early age, he made such a mischievous act to avenge his bully, Freddie Manson, who put his life at risk. It was probably the start of the evil personality instilled in him which prospers throughout his adulthood. But what shocks me more is how this Celina, whom he's having an intimate relationship with, also shares the same sentiments with him. They're somewhat alike in the way that they have both killed a person once in their lives. The book is a must-have, I can guarantee.
February 18, 2022
I enjoy the thrilling ride I experienced in the story with stories after stories, engulfing myself with extreme revelations as you go along the way. In the first chapter of the story, I thought Peter Aldridge would only find out that his client, David Pearson, is truly the one who committed the fraud and murder. However, the succeeding parts of the story left me speechless and surprised for the twist wasn't something you would expect. Who would have thought that John Troughton and Roger Bryce are the same guys who are also responsible for the assassination of a wealthy man, Geoffrey Paget-Lowndes? If you would read the story, you would actually uncover many unexpected events that are both exciting and shocking. The novel was extremely intriguing and, for sure, you would be engrossed as much as I was.

I was in awe of Jeffrey Kershaw's ability to make such a very compelling and engrossing mystery-filled novel, with words and plots pulled from a clever mind of his. The book was meticulously written, demonstrating the author's expertise with this genre, especially with the kind of profession he has. Upon knowing the author is a solicitor, who practiced law in London and later in Dubai, it's unknown to us that this book would be filled with unsolved mysteries having to unfold in the reading. Risen From The Ashes is a thrilling novel with spine-tingling scenes from the murder of Geoffrey Paget-Lowndes to the suicide of John Troughton. I don't want to spoil the plot, but when you will learn how and why these mysteries are piling up, you would be extremely intrigued. I love how it captures my mind, enabling me to go along a thrilling ride towards solving the cases.
February 22, 2022
In the book Risen From The Ashes, a man named Geoffrey Paget-Lowndes, the CEO of Solstice Company, devised an ingenious fake death plot to cover up his crimes. The first part of the story involved him framing David Pearson as his murderer, and he later underwent plastic surgery to transform his appearance into ten years younger. He successfully transferred money to John Troughton's account which serves as the primary lead in identifying the true suspect in Geoffrey's mysterious murder. The rest of the story was phenomenal and full of unexpected plot twists that lingered in my mind for quite some time out of astonishment. Many of the succeeding events are unbelievable as you unravel the truth, especially the time when Celine (soon to be the wife of Roger Bryce) confessed practically everything to David.
February 22, 2022
I quite enjoy the exhilarating and stomach-churning experience I had with this book, especially the characters; each of them plays a significant role in settling the case of Geoffrey's murder. For quite some time, ideas, clues, and questions were racing through my mind, frantic to solve the crime the way detectives do, which is an enormously enjoyable experience for me. The novel revolves around a successful man named Geoffrey Paget-Lowndes, the CEO of Solstice Company, who worked out a plan to fake his death and commit fraud in Solstice. Who would have believed that the murdered man was also the mastermind of his own death to defraud his firm of a considerable sum of money? It's quite unbelievable. But with the assistance of solicitor Peter Pearson and the rest of the investigators, David was able to clear his name of the charge of murdering the CEO.
February 22, 2022
Risen From The Ashes is one of the greatest works I've read in an industry rife with inexperienced authors. The murders, mysteries, crimes, relationships, and storylines that developed throughout the novel were extremely intriguing and stimulating, as each narrative or incident was linked to another chain of events, providing indications as to the circumstances behind the CEO of Solstice's death. You will learn about the character of John Troughton who got a substantial amount of money from Solstice and is also the face of Roger Bryce. Later, you would know how Roger Bryce, a.k.a. John Troughton, shared a great similarity to the murdered CEO and how the certain murder case was just a cover-up story framing David Pearson to let the true perpetrator escape without being apprehended.
I had a great experience with this one and you would certainly enjoy this book as well. It's top-tier!

Geoffrey Paget-Lowndes grew up in a tough upbringing that certainly shaped his mischievous boyhood, and that continues to become more alarming as he reaches adulthood. Consider that Geoffrey's mother died while he was still a child, and the worst part is that his father is the prime suspect in the crime. Numerous individuals bullied him, and as a result, he became a numb person with little to no sense of remorse regarding retaliation. He had foster parents that treated him similarly to a slave, which is really a very distressing and miserable experience for a young boy. That is probably the main reason why he turned out to be a psychopath.
I highly recommend this book, it was so fun to read, with all the exciting stories and mysteries you're about to unlock in each chapter.

Risen From The Ashes is a title that speaks so much of what the context would be. That aspect captivated me into reading the whole story of the book. I learned that, indeed, a man was pretending to be in the graveyard to conceal the crimes he committed and put the blame on someone else. At first, he used David Pearson for his evil escape and then murdered a man to disguise his form. Only a pure psychopath could commit so many crimes under the guise of Roger Bryce. He was a really wise man that you would least likely suspect in the killing of Geoffrey Paget-Lowndes. Everyone knows he's dead so it would be impossible to think that he's not, unless there are some flaws in the crime that Peter can use as defense for David and as a means for finding out the true cause.
