Summary
'An absolute master of pace, plotting and character' ELLY GRIFFITHS
REVENGE
DI Ben Kitto made many enemies in his time working as an undercover officer for the Met police, none more ruthless and calculating than gang leader Craig Travis.
IS WORTH
Travis has longed to make Kitto pay for his role in getting him convicted – and that day has finally arrived. Now, a dark and twisted killer is heading for the Scilly Isles, one who has waited a long time for revenge.
WAITING FOR . . .
With Kitto busy investigating the discovery of a body on the islands and distracted by the imminent arrival of his first child, his defences are down. He has so much to lose.
And Travis will stop at nothing to take it all from him.

'Expertly weaves a sense of place and character into a tense and intriguing story' METRO
'Rhodes does a superb job of balancing a portrayal of a tiny community oppressed by secrets with an uplifting evocation of setting' SUNDAY EXPRESS
‘The whole book tingles with tension. I hope it does for the Scilly Isles what Ann Cleeves did for Shetland' MEL MCGRATH
'It is at once a locked-room mystery, a story of the returning hero, and an examination of fear and abuse. It has the air of a twenty-first century Agatha Christie' JULIA CROUCH

The Brutal Tide
An interesting story well told. Maybe the series is becoming a bit samey though?

Gripping
I was in two minds as to whether to buy this book as I felt the format getting “samey “ but this was a great story with links outside of the island which made for interesting listening.
Couldn’t put down.
Very good narration.

A great, pacey yarn
I like these books now I’ve gotten over the 1st person narrative, which is a bit annoying. I love the descriptions of the islands, the Cornish names and Shadow. Especially Shadow.

Atmospheric
Somewhat predictable but a good plot and great characters - well narrated too. Definitely worth continuing the series.

Disappointing
A disappointing departure from the previous books with a rushed ending. Reassuringly familiar with the usual characters and plausible storyline. It just felt that the author did not lavish the same care and attention, speeding up to a mad dash in the last chapters.

What a shame
I've avidly read the other books in the series, happily remembering family holidays on the Isles of Scilly as a child but this book was disappointing. The story was predictable but ok. However, the vocabulary and the writers need to use 5 words instead of 2 to over describe everything was enough to make this the last book I will read in this series. Shame

Disappointed
I have followed this series but found this a little predictable and unrealistic. Love Shadow but does he always have to be hurt, although I always want to hear the next one to be sure he is ok.
