Book Synopsis:
Sometimes there is only one course of action…
When intruders enter a radio station and kill a famed presenter it sets in motion a chain of events that will push the Metropolitan Police to their limits.
Officers Hayes and Miller are on the trail of a suspect and when Eric Helsey is detained, the police realise they have arrested the wrong man.
As the case grows more complicated with each revelation, and the body count rises, they find themselves investigating a series of crimes, all of which may be linked.
But what ties the murder of the radio host with a Turkish casino owner and the killing of two employees at a valve factory?
Hayes and Miller find themselves in a race against time to get to the truth before more people are hurt…

My Review:
The Hard Way is a very fast paced, gripping crime novel from a new author for me. Its going to be a hard one to review as I really don’t want to give anything away.
Firstly i always love books that feature believable characters that you can get behind and believe in. So I loved this book as it did just that and included some brilliant back story for them which I always enjoy!
The plot line was really fast paced and fantastically written with lots going on so the book was hard to put down. There were lots of different threads going on at once which just added to my enjoyment as it was interesting to see how everything came together. The many twists and turns kept me guessing until the end and I was taken by surprise with the ending which I always like. I’d definitely like to read more from this author in the future.
Huge thanks to Zoe from Zooloo tours for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
