Description

Finn Carroll is a failed artist living a marginal existence in his dead parents’ home. So why would a team of killers want to murder him and frame it as a suicide? Finn survives the encounter to discover the killers have left behind a “suicide note” detailing a dark incident from Finn’s past no one could possibly know about.

Finn escapes to Musqasset Island, his former home, to seek refuge with an old friend, but soon realizes he has trapped himself on the small island with the very people who want him dead—and with old debts that need to be paid. His only hope for survival, and redemption, is to figure out who’s trying to kill him and why they’ve waited eighteen years to act—no easy task in a raging nor’easter, where communications are shaky and relationships (and Finn’s mental state) are even shakier.

Thank you NetGalley and Black Rose Writing for allowing me to review an advance copy of Fishermen's Court by Andrew Wolfendon. This was an action packed thriller that took off running from the start and held my interest throughout. Why would killers want to kill Finn Carroll? Finn's life is turned upside down as he tries to figure out who is after him. Great read you will not want to put down.

Fishermen's Court by Andrew Wolfendon .
Thank you NetGalley for giving me the chance to read this e-book.
Well written fast paced thriller , the action started from the very beginning of the story .
Finn Carroll could'nt understand why two men wanted to kill him . He knew he must get right away immediately to stay alive , but where to go and what to do .
A terrifying story but I was unable to stop reading as wanted to know what was going to happen next, the ending was a real surprise .
Very good read . Recommend and give four stars .

Finn Carroll’s world is falling apart – more than usual that is. Why do people want to kill him and make it look like suicide? He seeks help with his old friend Miles and heads out to Musqasset Island to stay with him at his holiday home. Stranded due to storms, Finn isn’t sure who to trust & why everyone is against him.

This was, on the whole, a good thriller. There is plenty of action, confusion, double dealing, issues with trust and a quick fling thrown in. The weather is, of course, stormy with plenty of rain and dark nights. The whole idea of being stuck on an island, in a storm and being unable to get away is hardly new and a bit cliched. However the idea of a closed community on the island was quite central to the book.

This was not a “wow” book for me. There were a few bits that didn’t work and I wasn’t too sure about the ending. However, I did enjoy it and feel that it holds it own as a slightly above average thriller.

I received a free copy of this book via Netgalley.

I absolutely enjoyed this novel. It was a fast paced read, with lots of twists and turns. I loved how descriptive the author was through out. I really felt like I was on the boat and running from these people at times. And sometimes I almost believed that maybe he was crazy. I cared about the main character and I wanted to see him safe, and with the woman he loves. A good flow of writing with no repetition in descriptions.
