The Blood Tide: A gripping new Scottish police procedural thriller for crime fiction and mystery fans (DS Max Craigie Scottish Crime Thrillers, Book 2) by Neil Lancaster
‘Think Jack Reacher fronting Line of Duty’ Ian Rankin You get away with murder. In a remote sea loch on the west coast of Scotland, a fisherman vanishes without trace. His remains are never found. You make people disappear. A young man jumps from a bridge in Glasgow and falls to his death in the water below. DS Max Craigie uncovers evidence that links both victims. But if he can’t find out what cost them their lives, it won’t be long before more bodies turn up at the morgue… You come back for revenge. Soon cracks start to appear in the investigation, and Max’s past hurtles back to haunt him. When his loved ones are threatened, he faces a terrifying choice: let the only man he ever feared walk free, or watch his closest friend die… Max, Janie and Ross return in the second gripping novel in this explosive Scottish crime series. Readers LOVE The Blood Tide ‘ Line of Duty on steroids… It just never lets up!’ John Barlow ‘ The Blood Tide grabs you from page one and doesn’t let go. Be warned: don’t sit down planning to read only a few pages!’ Kate London ‘Tightly plotted, tense and thrilling. Neil Lancaster just gets better and better’ Marion Todd ‘You can’t beat the voice of experience… A rugged tale from a writer who’s done this chilling stuff for real’ Paul Finch ‘A rattlingly good read. The pages practically turn themselves…’ John Sutherland ‘ An absolutely thrilling read from a brand-new star of Tartan Noir. Superb.’ Caroline Green ‘ Authentic to a tee. A story to die for. Characters that leap of all the page-turny pages.’ Imran Mahmood ‘What a gripping page-turner – it kept me guessing until the very end’ Michelle Davies ‘I’ve been hooked on this for a few days. It has it all: action, humour, tightly plotted with the most satisfying of endings!’ Chris McDonald Read more
This originally appeared at The Irresponsible Reader. As someone who's been reading Lancaster from the beginning, that it's great to see his growth as an author—the writing, the characterization, the details in The Blood Tide is leagues beyond what his debut displayed. And I enjoyed his debut, and would've kept reading him if he kept producing books like it. It's just so much easier to do when they're as good as this one. Along the same lines, there's growth to this series—as ought to be expected. Dead Man's Grave was about establishing this world, these characters, and their mission. Now we get to see them in action, we're ready to see them at work, in danger, and taking on bigger challenges. Do I recommend The Blood Tide? You bet—a good author getting better at his craft, a handful of strong characters, and a plot that'll keep you guessing as it ratchets up the tension. Grab both of the DS Max Craigie thrillers and you'll be in for a good time. The third book is due this autumn, which is too far away for my tastes.
