Kerry Costello - Gibson Crime Thriller Series Bk 1 - The Long Game - Reviewed - 4/3/19

A dramatic story fuelled by years of unresolved bitter hatred, and revenge - with a shocking twist that that will elude you until the very last page. Police Sergeant Gibson investigates what appears to be an elderly man’s death by natural causes. Using instinct, good old fashioned detective work and a dogged determination to get at the truth, Sergeant Gibson pieces together an intricate puzzle of long-awaited retribution.

What did I like? My favorite genre is Mystery thrillers and this one tops my list right now. The intricate work in this book kept me on the edge and never in a million years did I see the ending. Loved the author's details and descriptions.

What will you like? Action Suspense, fascinating, exciting, exhilarating, sensational and mind-blowing finale. The research and work put into this book shows on every page, with more action than a barrel of monkeys. Twists and turns that keep the characters developing as the storyline blooms. Very well written and can’t wait for Book 2 to be released. I received this ARC for an honest review with no other compensation.

Like Kerry Costello's prior two books Florida Shakedown immediately grabs you. Once the plotline is established it's off and running. I especially like Kerry's writing style in that he writes about places he knows and provides great details. His characters are believable and story lines are both interesting and usually tied to current events. Like most good stories his endings always have a little twist at the end. The only problem I have is I usually read to help me fall back to sleep, these books don't allow me that pleasure as I can't put them down!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another really good story

As the previous books in this series, the author has given us another really good story. I am absolutely hooked on Gibson. After his time in America he returns to the UK but gets itchy feet to go back to the USA . On his return there he aims to help Lorna who is on Death Row for something she claims she was set up for.

Was she really set up? If so can Gibson save her? There is so much going on in this story with a degree of humour too. At the risk of becoming boring, I really have to repeat what a good story this is and deserves the five stars I am giving.
Please keep them coming Kerry Costello , I will keep on reading.
