ANGEL & KINCADE MYSTERY #1
WHEN THE REVENANT RETURNS, DEATH IS NEVER FAR BEHIND
WHEN THE REVENANT RETURNS, DEATH IS NEVER FAR BEHIND
After ex-drug dealer Roy Lynch is found hanged in the garage of his country mansion, what at first appears to be a routine suicide soon becomes more insidious – vengeful proof that the wages of sin aren’t so great, after all. As the investigation gathers pace, one question vexes the team – who is the young woman who hissed, I hope you burn in hell to Lynch’s wife as she lay on her death bed?
It’s exactly what DI Max Angel doesn’t need. Recently back from six weeks off, he’s struggling to come to terms with his own past, a living nightmare that also sentenced his friend and long-term DS to indefinite sick leave. The replacement, DS Catalina Kincade, has got more than enough baggage of her own, demoted from inspector down to sergeant for reasons Angel doesn’t believe.
As the body count rises, Angel and Kincade are forced to look to the past, cutting through thirty years of deceit and betrayal and lies to reveal the family secrets buried below. The tragedy they unearth makes it horrifically clear that in a world filled with hatred and evil, nothing comes close to what families do to one another.

Another excellent story in the Evan Buckley series written by a master wordsmith. Excellent plot with lots of twists and turns that surprised me with each page turn. 20 years of family strife and revenge make this an interesting read. Don’t miss it. This is the type of story that will probably in some ways haunt you forever. I know, it will me.

Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great crime thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. A very easy rating of 5 stars.

Evan Buckley gets better with each book. As do the story lines. I’ve read these three in a row in only two days! Ready for the next one!

One of the best I’ve read in a while. Plenty to keep any reader totally engrossed. The twist at the end surprised the heck out of me.

Compelling. Fast-paced story that leaves unanswered questions. There is violence but no drag-you-down drama. Intriguing storyline with plenty of twists and gallows humor. Believable characters with distinct personalities. Realistic procedures, actions and reactions. Classic quote and entertaining dialogue.

Wow. I have just found a new author to love and follow. I love the honest grittiness of this new character, his flaws, his heart and his determination. James Harper seems to know the human condition very well and explores it in his writing. With gripping plots and a few helpers this books comes to a very satisfying ending. I recommend it. Soooo good.
