Description:
Sometimes it takes a stranger to find a killer…
In a small farming town in rural Wisconsin—where generations of families have lived in peace for decades—no one expects trouble to come calling.
But then a farmer’s beautiful young wife is found brutally murdered, with a chilling calling card that suggests she’s just the first victim of a serial killer. And the FBI elect not to send one of their own. Instead they send a stranger to town—former Royal Marine turned mercenary, Grant Fletcher. And they’re giving him no choice. Find the killer. Because we know what you’ve done.
With the threat of the executioner’s chair hanging over him, Fletcher finds himself in an impossible situation—and a race against time. Catch a murderer whose killings are escalating with every day that passes. Or face certain death…
Fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne and David Baldacci’s Amos Decker will love the Grant Fletcher series.
BLOG TOUR REVIEW
Review for 'Final Second' by John Ryder.
Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Bookouture publishers and Bookouture anonymous
Publication date 5th October 2020
This is the first book that I have read by this author. This is the second book in the 'Grant Fletcher' series. Although this is the second book it can be read as a standalone with no issues and any previous events from the first book needed for this storyline is described in just the right amount of information.
I was originally drawn to this book by its intriguing colourful cover and interesting sounding blurb. I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Bookouture. I have yet to read a book published by Bookouture that I haven't enjoyed. Hopefully this won't be the first... Watch this space! (Written before I started reading the book).
This novel consists of a prologue and 82 chapters. The chapters are quite short in length so ideal to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!
This book is written in third person perspective and the main protagonist is Grant Fletcher with some chapters dedicated to Zoe Quadrado's perspective. I enjoy books written in third person with several protagonists as it let's you see the bigger picture of what's going on and you get to know more characters.
This book is based in Wisconsin , US 🇺🇸.
This book is extremely well written with fantastic descriptions that really set the scene for the reader. I enjoyed reading the extra tidbits of information.
The storyline is action packed and quite fast paced. There's plenty of crime, murder, secrets and suspense to keep the reader on the edge of their seats. I never guessed who the perp was which is always a bonus as there's nothing worse than figuring it out and your not even half way through the book. The storyline is also quite unique which I enjoyed and lots of red herrings to throw you off.
The characters are all very strong and realistic. I really enjoyed Fletcher's character and he is definitely a force to be reckoned with. I'm looking forward to meeting him in future books. I was completely shocked with the revelation about Fletcher's wife!! I also enjoyed how knowledgeable his character is and liked how the extra information engaged me in the storyline and at no point I was confused with any of the terminology used. Although the book is mainly based around Fletcher there are some chapters focused on Zoey's character. I also liked her character as I found her to be quite strong and interesting. I would also like to meet her again in future books.
Overall an action packed crime thriller that will keep you guessing throughout and biting your nails in suspense.
Genres covered include Action, Thriller and Mystery.
I would recommend this book to the fans of the above as well as
341 pages.
This book is £1.99 to purchase on kindle via Amazon or free on kindle unlimited which I think is an absolute bargain for this book!!!
Rated 4/5 (I enjoyed it ) on Goodreads, Instagram, Amazon UK and Amazon US and on over 30 Facebook pages plus my blog on Facebook.
