Publisher's Summary:

"The Kyrgyz winter reminds us that the past is never dead, simply waiting to ambush us around the next corner".

When Inspector Akyl Borubaev of Bishkek Murder Squad arrives at the brutal murder scene of a young woman, all evidence hints at a sadistic serial killer on the hunt for more prey.

But when the young woman's father turns out to be a leading government minister, the pressure is on Borubaev to solve the case not only quickly but also quietly, by any means possible. Until more bodies are found...

Still in mourning after his wife's recent death, Borubaev descends into Bishkek's brutal underworld, a place where no one and nothing is as it seems, where everyone is playing for the highest stakes, and where violence is the only solution.

Members Reviews:

Poor Research, Beauty Lost

I had to give one star, because the system wouldn't allow less.

After reading the first five chapters of this book, it had to put it away before I physically vomited. I have been based in Bishkek for the past 17 years. Even though I am not Kyrgyz, I found this book to be truly insulting.

The basis for this story is supposed to be his research in Kyrgyzstan, but unfortunately, his only references are to smutty local swear words, bars that are frequented by expats (a cop wouldn't be caught dead in the Metro) and an obvious hatred for everything Kyrgyz. There is a thinly veiled reliance on the wrong sources for his research.

It is a shame that an opportunity to tell the world about the beauty and character of this proud nation has been lost in one man's superlatives.

I for one will not be finishing the book, I wish I could claim a refund...

A real thriller, but not for me

I didn't finish reading it as the storyline didn't appeal to me. Not my kind of book.

Some of the most wicked and uncomfortable crimes, which you could ever had read

Please note review is of the Hardback book.

When first reading A Killing Winter, it rapidly become apparent that this novel was both original and different to what I had read before. The opening sequence was disturbing and just loitered in my mind for ages, as I braced myself for more of the same.

----------Be warned the narrative and plot threads are at times very graphic----------

In the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia, the daughter of a leading government minister is found slaughtered in a vicious and macabre fashion, our lead detective is Akyl Borubaev an inspector tasked with cracking the case as quickly and quietly as possible. However, this is not easy as more bodies are discovered. As the plot progressed I found it creepy how characters that are higher up "the food chain", and who are responsible for defending the public, can often be some of the most unreliable and chancy characters in the narrative and that was the case in point here.

For the author Tom Callaghan, his writing is nothing short of pretty good stuff, the fact that this is a debut novel is just amazing, and I am keen to read book two as soon as possible.

A Good Read Novella

Had a hard time putting this novella down once I started reading. Aya tells a good story with mystery to it that keeps you guessing until the end about "who done it?" Am looking forward to reading many more by this author.

Terrific mystery

The mystery is intriguing, and so are the characters. What's the connection between the dead men and cats in this town in the northwest?

I recommend this great read by Aya Walksfar.

Very good suspense thriller

This book will have you staying up to finish it. The author knows how to keep you turning pages! I can't wait to see more written by her!

wonderful book

well written and thought out, enjoyed it very much. author doesn't talk down to reader, but explains details well.good job.

Kitty Muse Book Reviews

Shadow Island is such a peaceful place to live. Not on the regular tourist routes, it is a safe, quiet place for its denizens to live and love as they wish.

Until the hate crimes start.

A cat with its fur on fire, let loose in a bookstore.

A man found dead in a rowboat, a small calico kitten desperately clinging to safety.

And the worst thing, a well-known and well-loved businessman found murdered in his home, a cruelly-mutilated cat strewn across his body.

Who is doing these heinous things in such a peaceful place? And, since the local sheriff has voiced negative opinions about the targets of these crimes, can he be considered a good choice for finding and bringing in the murderers?

Janie and Megan have their own ideas of who might be responsible, and, even thought they have been friends with the sheriff all their lives, they do not think that he will allow his job duties to overcome his prejudices. They take it on themselves to probe every clue and question every suspect that comes their way.

Questions get answers under their unprofessional yet productive methods, and secrets revealed, until the mystery is solved and Shadow Island can return to its peaceful existence.

This is a brilliantly-written story. I loved the characters; they were so very real. Their relationships, cast in such warm, caring light by the author, was such a wonderful counterbalance to the terrible crimes that were committed. Even everyday actions, such as having dinner, were detailed out in such a way as to make the reader feel at home. Safe.

The crimes could have been committed against any group of people who seem different due to color, gender, foreign origins, etc. What the big thing is, and what the story relates, is this: love will still conquer all. No amount of bullying or hate crimes will ever change that.

Title: Crude Carrier

Author: Rex Burns

Narrator: Gary Dikeos

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-30-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

When a sailor dies under unusual circumstances, Raiford goes undercover on the high seas.

The Rossi family received only a handful of letters after their son shipped out on the supertanker Aurora Victorious. The first dispatches were from Harold himself, describing the blend of tedium and excitement that defined life onboard the ship. The last communication came from the ship's owners: four brief sentences informing them that their son had died and been buried at sea.

Desperate to know more, the Rossis turn to James and Julie Raiford, the father-daughter detective team behind the Touchstone Agency. As the Raifords soon learn, work on the open sea is dangerous--and asking questions can be deadly. When the shipping company stonewalls the investigation, James joins the Aurora Victorious as an electronics officer, and Julie digs into the proprietors' shadowy background. International oil shipping is a ruthless business, and its secrets run as deep as the ocean itself.

Members Reviews:

the writing pretty straight forward and workmanlike

The Raifords return in this second book in the Rex Burns series about a father-daughter private detective firm that started with "Body Slam." While I do appreciate the unusual setting, a very large tanker, it also means rather long passages where nothing much is going on and the duo is actually working apart. The mystery is so-so, the writing pretty straight forward and workmanlike, dialogue is realistic. My biggest complaint has more to do with the main characters, who are somewhat lacklustre for private detectives. Perhaps they will become more developed in future volumes,which I do intend to read as they become available.

Eight Bells?

Rex Burns is a master storyteller. I read Crude Carrier in two days because I wanted to learn how the Touchstone Detective Agency was going to solve the mystery of a missing tanker, a death at sea, stolen oil money and how - or if - an older and talented Detective Raiford would escape death on an aging Super Tanker. I was well entertained and will read other books by Burns. I especially liked his knowledge of life and operational dangers on an oil carrier out of the Arabian Gulf. I spent time on the Gulf and could easily visualize the transit of the ship through the Strait of Hormuz and into the Arabian Sea. The action comes fast. Enjoy the read.

Burns, a Master of Nautical Struggles at His Best

Rex Burns's newest mystery has everything: an informed, well written story, with credible suspense and a slam bang finish, accurate characterizations, lyrical descriptions of life on the water. His knowledge of the crude oil shipping business is impressive, he understands the sea and its ways, and as a former Marine he's among the best when it comes to describing man-to-man rough and tumble battles. It's impossible to read this book and not become engrossed in the struggle to solve a probable murder and escape alive before the corrupt ship's captain and his cohorts kill even more as they skim and steal valuable oil from their cargo.

A gripper

This is a grab-you story. Could not wait to read the next page. Exciting and smart.

High Seas Investigation

I enjoyed this since I'm a sucker for any story set on the water. And I've always had an interest in those behemoths of the sea, the VLCC (Very Large Crude Carriers).

Publisher's Summary:

Blood may be thicker than water, but family isn't necessarily who you're related to. In this suspenseful mystery with a romantic twist, we follow Private Investigator Michelle Mott on her most exciting case to date.

Wisecracking Mott has been a loner since her parents died. When Daniel Cardinale walks into her office with her most interesting case yet, his world threatens to turn hers upside down. He needs her to find out who is sending him anonymous money and what the truth is behind his dead fiancé's demise. If his case weren't complicating her life enough, local crime lord Gino Salito has taken an interest in Mott.

Mott's empty life begins to fill up with an unexpected and rag-tag group of people, and she's afraid her dangerous life will take them away, leaving her alone once again.

In truth, it's Mott's life that may be the one at risk. She'll have to hope that blood isn't always thicker than water.

Members Reviews:

Mystery, Murder, and Family

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Once I started reading it I could not put it down! I love a book in which action is happening from the beginning and does not let up until the end. PI Michelle Mott is a smart, tough, self employed woman who lived a somewhat lonely life outside of her small one person PI business. That is until Daniel walks into her office and hires her to find out who has been sending him a large sum of money every month. What on the surface seems like a fairly easy mystery to solve becomes complicated and deadly. And suddenly a lonely PI's life is jam packed with interesting characters, including her client Daniel who is somewhat naive and clearly smitten with Michelle, his housekeeper who cares more for Daniel than Daniel's own family, a starving homeless teenager who desperately needs help, a teenage hacker who is a genius at what he does, and a notorious mob boss who everyone is afraid of. Sometimes family is not your blood relationships, it's the people you accept into your lives, that you make a relationship with. This book has a lot going for it. I loved the characters and how their lives entertwined. I loved the unraveling of the case itself, and its ultimate resolution. This is a fantastic book, it is not just about murder and mystery, but about family and relationships, loyalty and support. It is about giving yourself to other people and having it returned ten fold to you. But the cherry on top of the cake is, this is not a mushy, feely type of book. Michelle is tough, and snarky, and sarcastic. I had many LOL moments when she put people in their place, particularly when those people were big enough to kick her butt. Truly an enjoyable read.

Great drama and writing

Kim has done it again! Her writing and imagination takes us on another journey that has you intrigued from the first page. It's filled with plots, twist and of course, drama. Poor Daniel didn't have a clue about life and was never shown except by his deceased mother, so when things start appearing and too much unanswered questions e he had to have help. Enter the PI who turned his life upside down in good and bad ways, but she found the answers he needed and also a sense of love. Recommed this book highly as a great read! You will not want to put down until you're done. Enjoy as I did!!!!

5 STARS + ALL THE WAY!

Tell me there's a series here! THICKER THAN WATER is a GREAT book. A riveting page turner.
