Here Lie the Dead: A Scottish Crime Thriller (DCI Logan Crime Thrillers Book 15)

Product Information

Evie Hallowell is every bit as strange as her younger sisters, and yet Marin is quickly drawn in by Evie’s compelling behavior and ethereal grace. As always, woven into the mystery is just the right amount of Sebastian's personal life, and Davina Porter does such an incredible job with the narration. Today I’m thrilled to be sharing my thoughts on Here Lie The Secrets, the newly released title from Emma Young. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, and his former comrade in arms, surgeon Paul Gibson, have seen more than their share of violent death in wartime.

I just love these books - if you are even remotely interested (and not easily offended) give them a try thats really all I can say. In the three years since he investigated his first murder, Sebastian’s life has undergone significant change. Uncovering a disturbing pattern of missing children, Sebastian is drawn into a shadowy, sadistic world.The level of disgust and horror Sebastian feels for the perpetrators of the crime and for those who simply brush off the deaths of children is so strongly evoked as to be an almost tangible thing; there’s no doubt that he is being deeply affected by the things he sees, hears and learns, and yet he is not going to give up.

I have to admit that this series is one of my favorites, as I have read all twelve books in the series. When it turns out that Orla's recently had a baby the suspicion immediately falls on her boyfriend Ronnie Donlon Jr but since he was down in England at the time of Orla's disappearance. Even when he comes up against dead end after dead end, he perseveres, intent on getting justice for the most helpless and voiceless members of society.Devlin refuses to turn a blind eye to the brutality and demands justice for those the wealthy and powerful abuse and ignore and who cannot fight for themselves. This photographic exhibition features images from memorial sites across the Western Front in France and Belgium, taken by Mark Allen, an amateur photographer and battlefield guide. As we see powerful men finally exposed, we see that they have for so many years been protected, their dark deeds swept under the rug, witnesses silenced by point blank disbelief, bribes, blackmail, threats or worse.

Just the right mix of history, current events of that time period, family, Simon and Hero both have fascinating backgrounds, great supporting characters and cases that are intriguing without being terribly graphic. The book ended without completing its story which I like because it means there must be another one being planned or written. We enjoyed sitting around and discussing these things as a family too (Is it actually council housing around the station? But the author has never shied away from depicting the seedier and darker aspects of regency London and she's never turned away from highlighting the unfairness of the chasm that existed between the privilege of wealth and the hopelessness of poverty.I soak it up because I’m a complete sucker for a protagonist with a protective instinct and a strong moral compass - whether that be a hero or a heroine. The story starts with an obnoxious bride and she is brought back towards the end - her story line makes no sense (as a start to the book it's fine) she is obnoxious and her part at the end just peters out Why would she want her ex involved in her life at all?

DC Tyler Neish is back in trouble as always along with his very pregnant co-worker who also happens to be his wife. That’s the opening of Chapter One, and I think this is a good place to insert a trigger warning or content warning for child abuse.Cyr series opens, Sebastian and Hero are back home in London, dealing with the usual underbelly of the city and the politics that always hums in the background. The second part though is where the action happens as the characters embark on their time at Halycan House and the pace certainly kicks up a notch! Even the ones that aren't creative insults make me wonder if he just talks or thinks that way or if he had to work each sentence 20 ways to hell and back to get the one. You will miss jokes, relationships that developed years (books) earlier and generally things might seem a bit jagged due to missing pieces. How do you explain a world that gifts evil men with privilege and wealth and looks the other way while they torment and abuse the weakest members of society?
