I’m happily handing over the reigns to Kirsty again today for her spot on the blog blitz for The Note by Andrew Barrett today.

The Note is currently free in ebook and you can download your copy here.

Before I share Kirsty’s review with you here is a little bit about the book.

Book Synopsis:

A thrilling novella introducing Eddie Collins, CSI

Have you ever had that feeling of being watched but when you turn around no ones there?

I have.

It was raining, and I was working a murder scene around midnight when that prickle ran up my spine. If I’d listened to that feeling, if I’d thought back to my past, maybe I could have prevented the terror that was to come.

Back at the office, I found a death threat on my desk.

I had no idea who sent it or why they wanted to kill me.

But I was about to find out.

I’m Eddie Collins, a CSI, and this is my story.

Kirsty’s Review:

I do love a short story so was looking forward to giving this a read. Eddie Collins is featured in other books by Andrew Barrett, I haven’t read any before and can say with confidence that this can be read as a true stand alone.

This book had an excellent opening paragraph that pulls you right in, so important in a book that’s only going to take you a short while to read. I haven’t read a book that’s been told from the point of view of a CSI before and I loved all the added detail of the crime scene that this afforded. I also enjoyed the well-placed CSI Vegas references which did make me smile.

Barrett has a lovely way of phrasing things, the way he describes the current feelings of the characters really gives you a sense of what they are going through. There was also a little dark humor which appeals to me and a great twist, there is a lot packed into a relatively short book.

I shall certainly be looking up other books with Eddie Collins as I would love to know more about him. Many thanks to Sarah Hardy at Bloodhound books for giving me a copy to review.

About The Author:

A1Wxb8q4iGL._SY200_

Do you like your crime thrillers to have a forensic element that adds to the realism? Do you like your lead character to be someone intense and unafraid to take on authority?

Andrew writes precisely that kind of crime thriller, and has done since 1996, about the same time he became a CSI in Yorkshire.

He doesn’t write formulaic fiction; each story is hand-crafted to give you a unique flavour of what CSIs encounter in real life – and as a practising CSI, he should know what it’s like out there. His thrillers live inside the police domain, but predominantly feature CSIs (or SOCOs as they used to known).

Here’s your chance to walk alongside SOCO Roger Conniston and CSI Eddie Collins as they do battle with the criminals that you lock your doors to keep out, fighting those whose crimes make you shudder.

This is as real as it gets without getting your hands bloody.
