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.

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...
