The Burning Tide By William Shaw

The Burning Tide By William Shaw


A SCORCHING SUMMER

Down in the seaside town of Teignmouth, ex-Met detective Eden Driscoll grows restless after a long summer caring for his nine-year-old nephew.

A DESPERATE PLEA

When a man knocks at Eden’s door desperate for help, claiming someone is trying to kill him, Eden jumps at the chance to solve a mystery. But before he can ask more questions, the stranger disappears.

A DEADLY FIRE

The cry for help came too late – that same night a house along the coast is burnt to the ground, and a man’s remains are discovered among the rubble. In the days after, Eden’s curiosity only grows. He soon finds himself investigating, and begins to uncover a web of deception, jealousy and corruption.

My Thoughts:

I needed a really good thriller to get my teeth into and this was the perfect one. This is book two in the Eden Driscoll Series and I absolutely loved it. It is a fast paced thriller about an Ex detective who is caring for his nephew after a tragedy in the family. But when a man wants to speak with Eden, he knows something is up and he needs to put his detective hat on to work out what is going on with this case. As Eden becomes more involved in the case, he thinks he can see the light at the end of the tunnel or is he? I liked the storyline, the parts about how the police and detectives work. I liked William’s style of writing, it was addictive and I did not want to put the book now. I thought I knew the outcome but I really didn’t. It keeps you guessing from the start. I think I have found a new author to start reading more of now. Loved it. The ending was brilliant.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
