Retribution by Heaton Wilson

-

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour offered by Rachel's Random Resources for Heaton Wilson's latest book, Retribution. It is available now wherever you buy or borrow books. DCI Jane Birchfield in on the case again. I've read Wilson's earlier book featuring DCI Jane Birchfield, Whatever It Takes so I was beyond thrilled to read another book focused on her. 



In Retribution, DCI Jane Birchfield has a lot to deal with both personally and professionally. At home a recent engagement she did not see coming has her spinning. At work she is positive she will receive a well deserved promotion. Crime never stops but when a hit and run happens, Jane thinks it is a one time accident. Then more hit and run accidents happen and Jane and her team question if they are related. Once they find out all the victims are ex-military who served together, the next question is can they catch the killer before someone else is hurt.

Review

Wilson's writing style is fast paced so you get into the story right away. The case is steadily revealed at the perfect pace. I live in America and love reading books from Europe and the slang/language differences. It adds to the book for me and I don’t have any trouble understanding the book. I hope Heaton Wilson writes more books starring DCI Jane Birchfield! She is a very strong woman working in a male dominated field and I enjoy her stories.

Author Information

Heaton Wilson's background is varied from postman, a newspaper journalist, a public relations officer, an actor, a director, and a playwright. His passion has always been writing. His series with DCI Jane Birchfield began in 2016 with Every Reason, followed by Whatever It Takes in 2021. He lives on the Isle of Wright, which he says is the perfect place to be creative and walk his dogs. You can follow him on Instagram @kkevin or http://facebook.com/heatonwilson

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il

Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources for putting together this virtual book tour! About the Book: For Iris , each visit to her mother in St Mabon’s Cove, Cornwall has been the same – a serene escape from the city. But today, as she breathes in the salt air on the doorstep of her beloved childhood home, a heavy weight of anticipation settles over her. Iris knows she’s adopted, but any questions about where she came from have always been shut down by her parents, who can’t bear to revisit the past. Now, Iris can’t stop thinking about what she’s read on the official paperwork: BABY GIRL, FRANCE, 1939 – the year war was declared with Nazi Germany. When Iris confronts her mother, she hits the same wall of pain and resistance as whenever she mentions the war. That is, until her mother tearfully hands her an old tin of letters, tucked neatly beside a delicate piece of ivory wool. Retreating to the loft, Iris steels herself to at last learn the truth, however painful it might be. Bu

Today I have the first book in a new series to share with you. Lauren Carr's Sam Mackade PI Mystery series starts with The Prime Suspect . Book Description: Two murders with one common denominator. Both victims betrayed Bryce Greyson. How could she not be the prime suspect? Four years after Bryce’s cheating husband is gunned down, her boyfriend-stealing former roommate’s remains are found buried under a statue at her alma mater. Declared the prime suspect by both detectives and the media, Bryce has no choice but to hire someone to clear her name. Enter Sam MacKade, private eye. To solve two murders, the former police K-9 officer and his canine partners must sift through the clues and the lies to reveal the true  prime suspect . Review: I’ve read Lauren Carr’s books before and loved them and this book is no different. The book opens with a cast or character (in order of appearance) that is super handy to reference back to (plus for physical books!) when you are learning the characte
