#BlogTour: The Guilty Dead by P.J Tracy @BTUkatie @MichaelJBooks #TheGuiltyDead

Book Synopsis:

The Guilty Dead is the ninth book in P.J. Tracy’s addictive and internationally bestselling Twin Cities series.

Gregory Norwood, wealthy businessman and close friend of Minnesota’s leading candidate for Governor, is found dead on the first anniversary of his son’s drug overdose. It seems clear to Detectives Gino and Magozzi that grief drove him to suicide.

Until they realise the left-handed man seems to have used his right hand to pull the trigger.

And they find the second body.

As the seemingly open-and-shut case becomes a murder enquiry, the detectives begin to delve into the dark secrets of one of the city’s most powerful families. It seems the murders are not the first in the Norwoods’ tragic story – and they won’t be the last . . .

My Review:

It’s always great when you find a great new series, even more so when the series is 9 books in and you have lots to catch up on!

The Guilty Dead is a highly addictive, intriguing and plausible read that I really enjoyed.  The thing that made this book for me was the fantastic characters that were really well drawn and easy to like.  The book is told from a variety of points of view and this makes the book very interesting as it helps the reader see the story from different angles.

My favourite characters were the police officers Gino and Magozzi.  I enjoyed the little interactions they had between them and the banter they shared.  They definitely helped provide some light relief at times.

This isn’t a particularly fast paced book, especially at the beginning but I found I didn’t care as I was really enjoying the story and learning more about the characters.  There are a few twists and turns which I didn’t see coming and I definitely didn’t guess the ending which was really nice.  It did take me a llittle bit to get my head around all the characters and I thought maybe a character list or some might have been helpful, but as mentioned before this is the ninth book in the series so the author probably thought people would know them all by now.

This is the first book by this author I have read and I can’t wait to go back and read all the previous books.

Huge thanks to Katie from Michael St Joseph for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.  If you like addictive, plausible stories with some fabulous characters then you’ll love this book.
