Barely Two Stars for this one。。。 I really enjoyed the first two books in this series。 They were well written and the plots were tightly focused。 However， A Life for a Life opened with a scene featuring water torture， yes， exactly like that done at Black Ops sites and considered war crimes。 It is revealed that "good cop" Kate is watching a video of man being tortured by someone she is working with to retrieve information on a "bad cop" who may or may not have murdered her husband。 The murder of K Barely Two Stars for this one。。。 I really enjoyed the first two books in this series。 They were well written and the plots were tightly focused。 However， A Life for a Life opened with a scene featuring water torture， yes， exactly like that done at Black Ops sites and considered war crimes。 It is revealed that "good cop" Kate is watching a video of man being tortured by someone she is working with to retrieve information on a "bad cop" who may or may not have murdered her husband。 The murder of Kate's husband is a long riding story arc going back to book one so you don't want to read these books out of order。 The plot of this book， however， aside from torturing people， is a serial killer。 Kate and her team are having a tough time with this one so， I don't know， maybe they could torture some innocent witnesses and come up with something。 Nah， eventually they solve the crime and Kate goes on to murder someone else in the end。 Great cop story， right？ Now， tell me again， who is the good cop and who is the bad one？ Yeah， I don't know either。 What I DO know is that I won't read any more of Wyer's books。 Yes， I know there are crooked cops in this world。 Trust me， I know this。 What I don't have abide is fiction that makes the bad cop the good guy。 Nope。 。。。more

Wow this series just gets better and better。 Clever story telling and compelling characters that you grow attached to the more you find out about them。 Living close to all of the areas mentioned in the books makes them feel all the more real。 I love how the main story weaves in and out and intertwines with the current case。 There are not enough stars to give for these books。

This book is a DNF in my library。 I read and reread the beginning chapters several times and cannot make heads or tails of it。 I’m sure this is a fine novel that most readers would enjoy but it just did not appeal to me。 I will not rate or review。

Really enjoyed this series！ Not a huge fan of the final chapter unless there is a follow up book。 Could have left it at the final meeting with Dan the journalist and I would have been happier。 Great crime read though！

This is the third of the series about DI Kate 。 She is a detective in Staffordshire and is now a widow ， her husband having been murdered。 She has problems， with some colleagues and in dealing with her grief。 The crimes are seemingly random murders， with few clues as to who the perpetrator might be。 Running alongside this， is her own investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of her husband and other members of the police and into crooked coppers who have been involved with these This is the third of the series about DI Kate 。 She is a detective in Staffordshire and is now a widow ， her husband having been murdered。 She has problems， with some colleagues and in dealing with her grief。 The crimes are seemingly random murders， with few clues as to who the perpetrator might be。 Running alongside this， is her own investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of her husband and other members of the police and into crooked coppers who have been involved with these crimes。 The pace of the book is fairly quick with twists and turns and the investigation is hampered by the small team of colleagues;， the lack of clues and restrictions from the bosses。 A pattern of sorts emerges and a profiler is asked to help with the case。 Not having read the previous books in the series perhaps put me at a disadvantage here because some of Kate's problems， actions and thought processes made me wonder whether she should be at work ， especially involved in such a case 。 At last progress was made， after several twists and turns。 The profiler was superfluous in my opinion， otherwise a reasonably believable investigation。 I would have liked to know more about the main characters， the characterizations felt a bit shallow in places。 I am still a bit puzzled by the ending 。。。 not sure what to make of it 。。。。 If you like police procedural books， this is a good read， though also takes some concentration to think about how the different puzzles fit together Thank you to Net Galley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review 。。。more

This is the third in a series but the first that I have read of Detective Kate Young。 I think the author does a decent job of giving some background so it can be read as a stand alone but I think I would have benefited in reading these in order。 I didn’t get a good enough idea of who Kate was as a character。 The writing is quite good was engaging。 I like the multiple plot lines， as since the main plot was quite obvious who the villain was。 Overall a quick detective story that definitely has me w This is the third in a series but the first that I have read of Detective Kate Young。 I think the author does a decent job of giving some background so it can be read as a stand alone but I think I would have benefited in reading these in order。 I didn’t get a good enough idea of who Kate was as a character。 The writing is quite good was engaging。 I like the multiple plot lines， as since the main plot was quite obvious who the villain was。 Overall a quick detective story that definitely has me wondering what happens next。 。。。more

Although this is the third book in the Detective Kate Young series， I felt that it was easily readable as a stand-alone。 With that being said， I absolutely want to go back and read the first two books， because A Life For a Life is a great psychological thriller showcasing the detective skills of Kate and her team and I have read that the first two are even better！For the reader， it is pretty obvious who the killer is from the start; however， there is definitely a twist to it that is revealed abo Although this is the third book in the Detective Kate Young series， I felt that it was easily readable as a stand-alone。 With that being said， I absolutely want to go back and read the first two books， because A Life For a Life is a great psychological thriller showcasing the detective skills of Kate and her team and I have read that the first two are even better！For the reader， it is pretty obvious who the killer is from the start; however， there is definitely a twist to it that is revealed about halfway through the book。 I think my favorite character is Samuel， the profiler。 He is so quirky and likable - reminds me of Lazlo from the old movie Real Genius （anyone out there know that one？！！） A caution that there are a lot of characters introduced in the first chapter， but if you stick with it， they become easy to follow！There are two storylines that intertwine together and make the mystery that much better。 And can we also talk about the cliffhanger that Wyer leaves us with！ I cannot wait to see what is next for Kate！This is a series that I think most of you will want to read！ Thank you to Zooloo’s Book Tours and Carol Wyer for this gifted copy in exchange for my honest review！ 。。。more

Another fabulous read by Carol Wyer。This book had me gripped from the first page and kept me gripped throughout。People are dying and there doesn’t appear to be a link at all。 DI Kate Young is up against it and find out who’s committing these crimes before more innocent people die。 At the same time she’s dealing with her own personal issues。I love this series Kate is a strong character with lots of issues herself that unfold with each book in the series。A great read

This is the third in the Detective Kate Young series and although it can be read as a stand alone， I highly recommend the first two as they are not only excellent reads， but also contain some of Kate’s back story。 Kate and her small team are assigned the case to investigate the murders， which appear to be random and present them with very little in the way of leads。 As if this isn’t enough to be dealing with， Kate is still battling with grief following the death of her husband， and she’s determi This is the third in the Detective Kate Young series and although it can be read as a stand alone， I highly recommend the first two as they are not only excellent reads， but also contain some of Kate’s back story。 Kate and her small team are assigned the case to investigate the murders， which appear to be random and present them with very little in the way of leads。 As if this isn’t enough to be dealing with， Kate is still battling with grief following the death of her husband， and she’s determined to uncover the truth。 A truth she suspects is buried deep within her own department – a suspicion that leaves her questioning those closest to her。There was a moment， when I read the line “bent coppers”， that I thought I’d picked up a script for Line of Duty – only this is more gripping！ （Sorry， Jed Mercurio）The intertwined storylines made for an enthralling read and one where I really didn’t know what was going to happen next。 Out of all the crime series I follow， I can honestly say that none have mastered the cliff hanger ending quite as well as Carol Wyer。 The ending in this was jaw dropping – I cannot wait for the next in the series。I highly recommend this book， and the series， to fans of the crime fiction genre。Thank you to Carol Wyer for the review copy。 。。。more

This is another well-written entry in the Detective Kate Young series。 I thought this book might complete the series， but I may have been premature in that assumption。 That's probably a good thing since this was another strong entry in the series。 It has a interesting mystery that seemed like it was going to be so hard for Kate and her team to solve --- and the continuation of the finding a way to bring up the dirty cop on charges that would finally stick。There are thrills aplenty with this one！ This is another well-written entry in the Detective Kate Young series。 I thought this book might complete the series， but I may have been premature in that assumption。 That's probably a good thing since this was another strong entry in the series。 It has a interesting mystery that seemed like it was going to be so hard for Kate and her team to solve --- and the continuation of the finding a way to bring up the dirty cop on charges that would finally stick。There are thrills aplenty with this one！ 。。。more

Not my first read by this author， but the first in this series， but it reads well as a stand alone。 There are plenty of twists and turns and the plot moves quickly。 My problem with this title was the repeated conversations Kate attempted to have with her dead husband， Chris。 It overpowered the first section of this title。 Once this obsession faded a little， the story was able to take over and it was more satisfying。Many thanks to Netgalley/Carol Wyer/Amazon Publishing for a digital copy of this Not my first read by this author， but the first in this series， but it reads well as a stand alone。 There are plenty of twists and turns and the plot moves quickly。 My problem with this title was the repeated conversations Kate attempted to have with her dead husband， Chris。 It overpowered the first section of this title。 Once this obsession faded a little， the story was able to take over and it was more satisfying。Many thanks to Netgalley/Carol Wyer/Amazon Publishing for a digital copy of this title。 All opinions expressed are my own。 。。。more

Complex police procedural with subplots， plus forensics and cyber-investigations。 The mystery is decent， but early on， the author reveals whodunnit and how it’s being done。 Plus， from flashbacks， I know why the murderer（s） are killing。 I began speed-reading to see how the storyline & subplots are resolved。 There are many police clíches: an unstable detective-protagonist whose husband’s murder is unsolved; a caring cop-mentor; corruption amongst the brass; a dead good-cop; a detective snitch for Complex police procedural with subplots， plus forensics and cyber-investigations。 The mystery is decent， but early on， the author reveals whodunnit and how it’s being done。 Plus， from flashbacks， I know why the murderer（s） are killing。 I began speed-reading to see how the storyline & subplots are resolved。 There are many police clíches: an unstable detective-protagonist whose husband’s murder is unsolved; a caring cop-mentor; corruption amongst the brass; a dead good-cop; a detective snitch for the brass; and cops with emotional issues。 I liked Samuel Links—the oddball psychology prof and profiler， and Morgan Meridith—a sturdy， reliable DS。 That said， add to the mélange: a brutal ex-SAS operative， an ex-Para， a mysterious billionaire， coke addiction， torture; disappeared witnesses， etc。 The detective protagonist has psychological problems， her focus is scattered， and she can’t keep her attention on the current murders。 There are PAGES of internal monologues; a ton of angst; and hallucinations & conversations with the dead。 There are loads of repetitious events and dialogue—which， if cut， could’ve saved 50-75 pages。 The denouement is unsatisfactory and the scenario isn’t believable。 2。5 stars。 Please read this with a shaker of salt， because I am in the minority of reviewers。 。。。more

'A Life for a Life' is the third book in the Detective Kate Young series by Carol Wyer and I would recommend that you do read the previous two novels in the series before embarking on 'A Life for a Life' as the author is weaving a particularly complex web and there are many strands to follow that have been developed in the previous books。The action commences on the opening pages with a horrific car crash and then we are introduced （or re-introduced） to our DI Young。DI Young is based in the Speci 'A Life for a Life' is the third book in the Detective Kate Young series by Carol Wyer and I would recommend that you do read the previous two novels in the series before embarking on 'A Life for a Life' as the author is weaving a particularly complex web and there are many strands to follow that have been developed in the previous books。The action commences on the opening pages with a horrific car crash and then we are introduced （or re-introduced） to our DI Young。DI Young is based in the Special Crimes Unit of the Stoke-on-Trent Police Station and runs a small team there。 Her old team are no longer under her command due to her struggles in coming to terms with the death of her partner， Chris。 Chris was murdered a few months earlier while investigating several disappearances of underage sex workers。 Continuing to struggle with her grief， Young now suspects several senior officers to be involved in the coverup and must keep her investigation to herself as she battles everyday cases while trying to find the truth。 This is a hard-hitting and fast paced book which took me a while to get into due to the history of the storyline and characters of which I was unaware。 Worth a read and now that I'm familiar with the characters， I'll be keeping an eye out for the next book。 。。。more

In A Life for a Life， Carol Wyer has once again written a compelling crime thriller that offers a cracking good case while furthering the main character’s story arc。 I read a lot of books and believe me when I say that this is not an easy task。 But this author handles it with ease。 I’m not going to go into too much detail， because by this point， if you haven’t started the series， you need to。 Yes， the crime is pretty much a standalone。 So， you could read it for that and still enjoy the book。 But In A Life for a Life， Carol Wyer has once again written a compelling crime thriller that offers a cracking good case while furthering the main character’s story arc。 I read a lot of books and believe me when I say that this is not an easy task。 But this author handles it with ease。 I’m not going to go into too much detail， because by this point， if you haven’t started the series， you need to。 Yes， the crime is pretty much a standalone。 So， you could read it for that and still enjoy the book。 But what really drives this story is Kate’s determination， so start where she did （it’s only 3 books in， and you’ll be glad you started at the beginning）。 She continues to unravel a complicated plot that hits ever closer to home。 Great story， but highly recommend starting with book one。 For more details， please visit Fireflies and Free Kicks。 This review was written based on a digital copy of the book。 。。。more
