A hit and run. A suspicious death. A vendetta.

Sam Earnshaw’s recovery from a year-long coma should be an occasion for celebration. Instead, he reveals that the hit and run incident that left him close to death was no accident. Someone deliberately pushed him into the path of a speeding vehicle.

As DCI Tom Raven leads the investigation into the attempted murder, he soon uncovers a web of dark secrets and lies. The attempt on Sam’s life is not the first time a killer has struck.

And it won’t be the last.

As the bodies mount up, Raven is forced into a race against time, whilst facing serious questions about his own life and future.

Set on the North Yorkshire coast, the Tom Raven series is perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JD Kirk, Simon McCleave, and British crime fiction.

This is book #3 in the excellent DCI Tom Raven series. Set in Scarborough, I thoroughly enjoyed it, indeed, I couldn't put my Kindle down.

Sam, the son of a brewery owner has been in a coma for a year following a hit and run incident. On waking up he remembers this was no accident and Raven reopens the investigation. This becomes an intriguing case as others in Sam's family are murdered.

If you liked the previous books in the series, I think you'll enjoy this one too. I am looking forward to starting book #4 with a 5th episode due out in October 2023 😁👌😁

Another excellent read. I love the characters especially raven. I’m enjoying seeing them develop their relationships and lives in between solving cases. I hope that maybe raven and becca get together at some point!

Raven is somewhat less of an idiot in this one, although he still seems to tell bare-faced lies to his boss! Sam’s recovery from a coma is a catalyst for his large brewery-owning family. Having been brought up in Flamborough (not on the Head) I especially enjoyed this one. My Dad always said that half the tourists came to fall off the cliffs and the other half came to watch them - having read this book, I shall amend it to the other half came to push them off….this book is thrilling and a really good read!

It took me a few chapters to get into the book but then I just couldn't put it down. I didn't guess who did it either,though I should have done as the clues are all there. Great book, and looking forward to the next one.

SPEAK TO ME SAM

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 July 2023

I don't usuallly go straight from one episode to another but l was keen to what happened to Sam so in this case l did. I wasn't disappointed either. A grim game of cat and mouse surrounding the brewery. But who is the cat? Kept me guesiing as the story developed. Good character development means this series could keep on for a while.

I have now read all three books in this series. Shame this is the last. Ford is a really interesting character who you have a lot of sympathy with. This third book is probably the most interesting as it involves the military. A number of twists. Thoroughly recommend.

more of the same

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 April 2023

One of the problems with setting -police stories in a small town is inevitably that the body count starts to get unrealistically high. Another is that when the books form a series, there understandably has to be a degree of revisiting back stories for new readers. This tends to mean that interpersonal relationships need to be plated up in order to beef up the plot.I’ve read 3 of the series now, and it’s starting to get a bit annoying. I know gulls are noisy, I know Raven’s BMW M6 is a powerful car, unlike the the Honda Jazz that gets frequent mentions. Over-long descriptions of what people are wearing and the landscape just come across as padding. The introduction of a hook on the final page to draw readers to the next in the series is a bit like the last. It of “The Archers” or “Eastenders”. Having said that the plot moves along and the ability to recognise actual places if you are familiar with the area is quite good for getting you into the feel of what’s happening.

Plenty of action in this third book in the series, a small business split by family rivalry gives Raven a difficult case to solve.
A surprise culprit revealed in the last few pages completed a good read.
