A tale of revenge, cultural identity, and the cost of breaking from tradition in this latest novel from the Jordan Peele of horror literature, Stephen Graham Jones.

Synopsis:

Seamlessly blending classic horror and a dramatic narrative with sharp social commentary, The Only Good Indians follows four American Indian men after a disturbing event from their youth puts them in a desperate struggle for their lives. Tracked by an entity bent on revenge, these childhood friends are helpless as the culture and traditions they left behind catch up to them in a violent, vengeful way.

Review:

Remember when you first reading The Shining, or It, and the SURPRISES could truly shock you, and the horror was as much psychological as it was real, and that was why the books stayed with you for so long? Now add those emotions and add a Native American supernatural element, and you've got the bones of this story. Both dark and relatable, it's the story of making a bad decision and how it stays with you- karma, in this case CAN be a real killer. But how real is it? With innocents in the crossfire, their is a race for completion. Stay with this book until the end, for a book not to be read at night!

Book Review: A Cold Dark Heart by Stephen Puleston

                          A Cold Dark Heart is the eighth novel in the Inspector Drake series 

Synopsis:

Drake’s most dangerous killer and shocking case yet…

Accident or murder...?

When eighty-nine-year-old Emyr Isaac is found dead in his home, Drake and his team initially suspect a burglary gone wrong.  Isaac was old, and his death was a tragedy, but it’s not a murder case…is it? 

A grisly discovery...

Drake uncovers more suspicious deaths, all elderly victims, all seemingly innocent, but with one chilling connection.

A twisted killer...

If Drake’s suspicions are correct, they have a dangerous serial killer on the loose. Soon, the team realise that stopping this killer will require playing a dangerous game - how do you catch a murderer trusted by everyone? 

Review:

This book is a book about opposites- Drakes new boss/his old boss, his ex wife/new girlfriend, welsh/english, evil/goodness, season cop/new cop. An it breathes new life into the series, as what seems like a simple case of accidental death turns into something much more evolved, that seems to vex his squad with each new discovery. With plenty of red herrings and thrills, this book is a real page turner for those new to the series, and those faithful to every book in it.

About the Author:

I write mysteries and thrillers.

I write a series featuring Inspector Drake based in North Wales and also a series featuring Inspector John Marco based in Cardiff. Inspector Marco comes from an Italian/Welsh background and he lives in Cardiff, the capital city of Wales.
