This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

This was a great story. I read this as a stand alone novel, it works well, however after reading I would like to read the books that came before. I enjoyed the character decriptions and developments. I really liked that this book not only dealt with the crime being committed but also it tells the story of human relationships and the pain that can drive one to commit a crime. I really enjoyed it.

Thanks for the chance of having read this brilliant offering! I have not read much of Sinead Crowley's work yet, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one! And I was not disappointed. This is already the third book in the series featuring Detective Claire Boyle and this time she is slap bang in the middle of the investigation. She becomes part of the crime scene while visiting her doctor. This set the tone of this fast paced book and doesn't disappoint by the ending of the book. Well written and worth your time and effort!

This book breaks into two halves very effectively with back story running throughout to build up a fuller picture of the characters involved. The characters are well developed and the narrative flows easy. It is an ideal novel for those looking for their crime fiction to have little less blood and with a very personal story running through the pages. Not your usual police procedural.

Although there are two previous publications in this series, this book works perfectly well as a standalone.

This novel didn't peak my interest once I got past the blurb. I really wanted to enjoy it! It has all the makings for a fantastic novel, and I have no doubts that this will get a big fan following.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quercus Books for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This was an utterly absorbing book. The author is very talented and I love her writing style.

This is the third book in the DS Claire Boyle series. I read the first one and then read this one. It can be read as a standalone, but I do prefer to try and read any book series in chronological order as it enriches the whole experience when reading it.

Claire Boyle is caught up in a hostage situation with her baby. Things get out of hand and it is up to Claire to see that justice gets served in the end.

I must say that I am quite fond of Claire Boyle. She is a gutsy character and she is passionate about her work and seeing that justice is served. It is also good to see how she is handling motherhood. This was a fast-paced book with some surprising twists. I highly recommend it. I plan on reading the second book and eagerly await the fourth book in the series.

This is my first Sinead Crowley book and obviously won’t be my last. I must admit that I will have to read the first two books involving Sergeant Claire Boyle and her family.
Sgt Boyle goes to see her Dr for an appointment but really she’s just looking forward to a cuppa and some peace to think for a change. As she’s leaving the surgery’s bathroom she hears loud voices from the consultation room: Dr Heather Gilmore and Eileen Delaney old friends and now enemies. Four things that Sgt Boyle didn’t know were that the surgery was closed for lunch, Eileen has a gun and Dr Gilmore’s daughter Leah has been kidnapped.
We meet her family, her not quite house husband Matt, her work partner Flynn amongst many others. She can and did behave selfishly regarding her work but which of us wouldn’t in her shoes? Matt was content to keep the home fires burning so to speak as her career took off, but now he sees things differently as his own business is taking off and he is away more and more. Claire doesn’t deal with the change particularly well.
These stories is revealed in a typically now and then hostage/kidnap scenario each section offers us just enough information to keep us guessing and quickly turning the pages and I certainly kept turning them.

Read for an honest review. Thank you Netgalley and Quercus

Being held hostage at gunpoint by her childhood friend is not Dr Heather Gilmore's idea of a good day at work. It only gets worse when she hears that her nineteen-year-old daughter Leah has been kidnapped.

Sergeant Claire Boyle wasn't expecting to get caught up in a hostage situation during a doctor's appointment. When it becomes apparent that the kidnapping is somehow linked to the hostage-taker, a woman called Eileen Delaney, she is put in charge of finding the missing girl.

What happened between Eileen and Heather to make Eileen so determined to ruin her old friend? Claire Boyle must dig up the secrets from their pasts to find out - and quickly, because Leah is still missing, and time is running out to save her.

A well written book that unfortunately didn’t hold my attention. I found it very distracting going from one time to another. It did improve towards the end though. 3.5*

Great installment in the series. Can't wait for the next one. You get a great read with this up and coming author

One Bad Turn is the third book to feature Sergeant Claire Boyle and I have to say since I’ve absolutely adored the first two books, Can Anybody Help Me? and Are You Watching Me?, I was chuffed to bits to be invited onto the blog tour for this one.

Totally addictive, One Bad Turn was for me the perfect way to spend a wet May Bank Holiday. Nestled in a comfy sofa with the sound of rain against the window, kindle in hand with a fantastic new book. One Bad Turn is a real one sitting read that makes sure you don’t want to put it down until you know what’s happening next in the story. I lost track of the amount of times I thought to myself “just one more chapter then I’ll go do…” because the go do never got done.

One Bad turn is the story of friendship turned sour, enhanced by the impact of the financial and political situation in Ireland on the lives of Heather and Eileen. It switches regularly in its time frame between present day and flashbacks of the circumstances surrounding the polarisation of their friendship, ensuring the reader gets a fully rounded awareness of the characters and a true understanding of how the two have ended up where they are.

It’s a fascinating story and one that you can easily read without having read any of the previous novels, but as a true book geek I’d recommend reading them first in order to truly appreciate the amazing way the Crowley makes our protagonist so realistic, heart warmingly supportable and a force of nature to be reckoned with.

Great book, enjoyable and gripping story. However, I found the ending a little disappointing but would still recommend

Eileen and Heather, two friends who ultimately cause catastrophe in each other's lives. DS Claire Boyle, the detective who finds herself in the middle of the action by chance and ultimately (with help from her colleague, DC Flynn) resolves it. I hadn't read any of the other Claire Boyle series but enjoyed this book as a stand alone novel. If I have a slight criticism it is because I felt the reader could have had a bit more background into Eileen's co-conspirator, Richard, as I felt he was essential to the plot but the reader didn't really get to know him or build a picture of him in their mind. I did enjoy it though and would recommend it.

Third book in the DS Claire Boyle series and the writing keeps improving. Very clever plot and fast paced making this a very good read. Not your usual police procedural and it works well as a stand alone. I would recommend this book. Thank you Net Galley for my copy. I reviewed on Amazon and Goodreads.

It's a cliche but it's true, this book grabs you from the start and doesn't let go until the very last page. The detective Clare Boyle series goes from strength to strength. I look forward to the next instalment and Sinéad Crowley has a firm place on my "must read" shelf.

Excellent book, full of an original plot with lots of twists and turns, my only complaint is that it ended too abruptly.

This book doesn't stop, read most of this in one sitting! Very enjoyable and a few dark twists thrown in. Delves between current events and past events that have contributed those currently.

Would recommend this for any crime-thriller fans.

Excellent book. Great storyline and characters. A real page turner. I would recommend this book.

As this is part of a series I'd recommend reading the others first, however if like me you haven't read them it does work quite well as a stand alone book.
A Police procedural is always good and with plenty if twists and turns it does keep you guessing. It did seem to lose pace after the initial rush of drama bug it picked up again and I was surprised in parts....
A good read but it didn't blow my mind...

Another brilliant title by Sinead Crowley, really gripping and hard to put down.

Thanks for the chance to read this
