Happy New Year everybody. I hope 2015 will be another great one!! To start 2015 perfectly, here is my new review about the new Crime/Mystery book by Kate Ellis.
This year I’m adding a rating to my reviews. And I can’t wait to find out what new books this new year will bring!
Detective Weslet Peterson investigates another mysterious and deathly case on his 19th adventure in Kate Ellis’s captivating crime series.
When a middle-aged man is found dead in a hotel room, it seems like a routine
matter—until it becomes clear to DI Wesley Peterson that it is a case of cold
blooded murder and that the identity the victim has been using isn’t his own.
Then DCI Gerry Heffeman, frustrated at being given only cold cases during his
recovery from being shot in the line of duty, discovers from a DNA review that
Wesley’s mystery man was responsible for the murder of a child back in 1979.
But soon, as Wesley delves in to the events of the past more people die.

War I. Events take a cryptic turn when he encounters a 100-year-old mystery
with echoes in the present.
great danger, especially if he is to save someone very precious to him.
My Review:
Romance, Fantasy, Young Adult, Romantic Erotic novels, Horror and I also read
Mystery, Crime and Detective books. So when the Little, Brown Book Group asked
if I was interested in reading ‘The Death Season’ by Kate Ellis in exchange for
my honest review I was really excited and immediately agreed. I heard about
Kate Ellis and her series but I never read a book by her before. ‘The Death
Season’ is the nineteenth novel about Detective Inspector Wesley Peterson.
attention. I love the dark cover with the red letters. It looks really
beautiful and I was really excited to start reading.
really enjoyed the story. Even though this book is the nineteenth novel about
DI Wesley Peterson, it can be read as a standalone and I never felt like I
missed information. This story begins when a body of a man is found in an hotel
room. The man seems to have died under strange circumstances and soon Wesley
has been called in to investigate the ‘murder’. At first this murder seems to
be easy to solve but soon Wesley stumbles upon a lot of secrets and soon there
seem to be a lot of people involved.
book included three different stories. Every chapter begins with a little diary
entrée of a woman in 1913 and is followed by the story of Wesley Peterson, and
a story of archaeologist Neil Watson. All these stories where really
interesting to read and I loved how easily the story goes from the one in the
other.
end I really didn’t expect anyone to be the killer. This book definitely kept
me on the edge of my seat. I especially loved Wesley Peterson. He just seemed
to be very real to me. His life wasn’t perfect and he really had to make some
difficult choices regarding his work and his personal life. I just really liked
him and loved how passionately he was towards his job.
and I really loved the search towards the killer. There were a lot of secrets
in this book and I loved how everything became clear towards the end.
