A massive Happy Publication Day to author LJ Ross whose latest DCI Ryan novel, Seven Bridges, is released into the world today. I have loved reading this series and have to say thanks to Mandie for the recommendation. Hooked from the very first audio book. When I got offered the chance of a sneak preview of this one, well – I could hardly refuse could I?

Does it live up to the others? Let’s take a look at what it’s all about shall we?

xThrilled to be a part of the blog tour for The Chosen Ones, the latest Robyn Carter thriller from Carol Wyer. Happy publication day Carol – hope you are celebrating well.

I’m a huge fan of this series and so always get a buzz from reading the latest book. But did this meet my expectations? Well, we’ll find out just as soon as we’ve seen what the book is all about.

TCOAbout the Book

They had not been forgiven. And they would never be forgotten ….

Early one morning, a young father is found murdered in a cornfield, outside the quiet town of Croxley. Nailed to a post, arms spread wide; Detective Robyn Carter is reminded of the crucifixion, and when she finds in his pocket a note reading ‘Forgive me for I have sinned’, she knows she’s looking for a killer with a twisted sense of right and wrong.

The victim’s girlfriend is devastated, unable to fathom how she will tell her sick little boy. Still reeling from her own loss, Robyn vows she will find the killer – no matter what.

But then a local doctor – a popular woman with a young family of her own – is found dead outside her surgery. She too has a note quoting bible scripture, and Robyn must take another look at the picture-postcard town, where no one has any enemies.

Can Robyn untangle the hidden web of secrets, lies, and smouldering grudges, at the heart of this close-knit community, before another life is lost?

An absolutely unputdownable thriller that will keep you reading into the night. If you love Angela Marsons, James Patterson or Tess Gerritsen, The Chosen Ones will have you hooked.
