I was given this book by the publisher with the agreement that I would post a review. Singapore Killer was an exciting, thrilling novel. Although this is book #5 in a series I have not read the others and was not lost at all. The author did a great job of developing the main character, Ash Carter, quickly and easily at the beginning.

Ash is an investigator who is called on to investigate a helicopter crash that killed two men. The things that he finds during the investigation leads him to believe the crash was not an accident and that other murders were connected. Ash puts together clues and finally ends up in remote Malaysia at the compound of a cult and the thrills continue from there! The thing I liked most about this book was the engagement of Ash not only in the crime at hand, but also with other neighborhood crimes, which he also solves. I also enjoyed the relationship between the secretary, Madam Chau, and Ash. Their relationship was humorous at times and lent a lot of personality to Ash's character.

There really wasn't anything about this book that I disliked. I thought it had the right amount of detail in the murders and other crimes without being overly gory or inappropriate.

This is a well written novel for anyone who loves thrillers and mysteries. I highly recommend it.

This is the fourth book I have read from this Author featuring three very different main characters, each book has been well written and researched entertaining and enjoyable throughout. Gripping from first to last page clever descriptive imaginative but there the similarities end. Black Creek White Lies features a wrongly accused man seeking redemption and the truth behind a missing girl. I Dare You where a women's boyfriend is snatched off the the street prompting her to investigate, and is one of the best books I have ever read. Then Singapore 52 and this book features Ash Carter the English 'Jack Reacher' a former MP turned PI but there the similarities end our hero has a base does not find himself a mystery in a new city each book, but is a clever and resourceful officer and gentleman. This is book five in this series and whilst there are references to previous cases this story works as a standalone book. A helicopter crash sees our hero searching for BlackJack a serial killer which leads to a mysterious jungle compound, with plenty of action and suspense before our story is complete or is it, I cannot say any more at the risk of spoiling it for my fellow readers.
Totally recommended.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.
I have to say that I have read none of the Author’s previous work but that really didn’t matter although this is book five in the series. The book is set in Singapore and follows Ash Carter in his quest to find the culprit. I loved this book, it is action packed from start to finish and indeed if I had the time I would of read this in one sitting. The characters are very well portrayed and draw you into the plot. I do feel that this would make an excellent audiobook as well. I have enjoyed this book so much that I will read the other books in the series and indeed anything by this author. I also should add that I love the cover of this book - it really does give you insight into what the book is about.
