Summary
Please note this book is a completely revised version of Seven Days。
A brutal killer who strangles young women and leaves their bodies strewn across London’s parks。 A killer who leaves his next victim’s shoe beside the body of his last one。 Detective Jack MacIntosh has seven days to find the truth。
A young woman’s body is discovered in Hyde Park。 Wearing only one shoe。
Close to the body， Detective Jack MacIntosh finds a black stiletto， diamante buckle glinting in the early morning sun。 But it doesn’t belong to the victim。
Two days later， another young woman is found strangled to death in nearby Green Park。 Wearing just one shoe — the matching stiletto。 Hidden in the long grass beside the body， the police uncover a low-heeled court shoe。
Detective Jack and his team are in a race against time to find the owner of the court shoe before it’s far， far too late。
At the same time， Jack is fighting demons of his own。 Demons which rise up from the past and threaten to cloud his judgement just when he needs it most。
Detective Jack is hunting a brutal killer。 A killer who delights in playing cat-and-mouse games。 Who will win this deadly battle of wits？

I received an ARC of this book via Joffe Books in return for an unbiased review。 I read this book in one sitting。 The storyline kept me engrossed fir the whole time。 Lots of red herrings so it keeps you guessing until the end。 An excellent read and looking forward to hearing more about DI Jack MacIntosh。

Thanks to Michelle and NetGalley for allowing me to read Seven Days to Die before the publication date。When I requested this book， I did not realise that it was part of a series and as a result I probably did not get the best from it。Set in 2012， the eyes of the world are on London as the opening ceremony for the London Olympics is only days away。When a woman’s body is found in Hyde Park， D。I。 Jack MacIntosh leaves his preparations for a major trial， to lead the investigation。A second woman is f Thanks to Michelle and NetGalley for allowing me to read Seven Days to Die before the publication date。When I requested this book， I did not realise that it was part of a series and as a result I probably did not get the best from it。Set in 2012， the eyes of the world are on London as the opening ceremony for the London Olympics is only days away。When a woman’s body is found in Hyde Park， D。I。 Jack MacIntosh leaves his preparations for a major trial， to lead the investigation。A second woman is found murdered in similar circumstances， leading Jack to believe that this could be the work of a serial killer。Instructions from on high demand that the killer is found before it can impact on the Olympics。 Jack is told that D。S Carmichael from Sussex police has been assigned to provide extra support to the team。 Unfortunately， Carmichael is rude and insubordinate and seems bent on disrupting the investigation。As the body count rises， so does the suspect list。 Michelle has woven several strands into the story and there are plenty of twists and turns before the truth is revealed。 。。。more

Seven Days to Die is the first book in the new series featuring Detective Jack Macintosh。 A woman has been found strangled in a park in London with one shoe on and another nearby， oddly it does not match the shoe the victim is wearing。 The shoe matches a previous murder indicating that newly found shoe will match another murder victim yet to be found。 Jack realizes that there may be a serial killer on the loose。 Jack will be pressured to find the killer before the Olympics begin in seven days。Th Seven Days to Die is the first book in the new series featuring Detective Jack Macintosh。 A woman has been found strangled in a park in London with one shoe on and another nearby， oddly it does not match the shoe the victim is wearing。 The shoe matches a previous murder indicating that newly found shoe will match another murder victim yet to be found。 Jack realizes that there may be a serial killer on the loose。 Jack will be pressured to find the killer before the Olympics begin in seven days。This story has some great characters to help with the community in the story。 Isabel owns a coffee shop with pastries， and an art studio in the back to offset the cost of the rent。 Fantastic idea and sounds like something we all might like to try。Jack is a single man and due to his past is fine with staying single。 When he was four， he found his mother after she committed suicide， his younger brother was two and has no real memories of his mother。 But they both are struggling with the past interfering with the present。 Jack is undergoing therapy to try to understand why he feels the way he does。Most of the characters have had huge losses in their past。 Some are not dealing with them well which adds to down to earth characters being much more interesting。The only negative is a cliff hanger type of ending。 We know it is going to be a series， so no reason to have an ending that leads to the next book。 However， the cliffhanger ending is not one that leaves you hanging in order to resolve the first book。I did like this book and am looking forward to reading the next one。 Even with its 436 pages the chapters are short， it actually is a pretty fast read。 Obviously， there are several twists and turns that take the investigation the wrong direction， but I wrongly suspected these directions might be the right way only to realize I had gone down the path the writer intended。 It was an entertaining but hard to put down read。I received an ARC from NetGalley for an unbiased review。 。。。more

The One Shoe killer - only he wasn't given that name as the police didn't release that detail to the police。 A slow boiler。 Several red herrings along the way。 Not a book that made much of an impression on me to be honest。 I only finished it yesterday and can't remember who did it。Okay book for people who like slow boilers。Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher I read a free advance review copy of the book。 This review is voluntary， honest and my own opinion。 The One Shoe killer - only he wasn't given that name as the police didn't release that detail to the police。 A slow boiler。 Several red herrings along the way。 Not a book that made much of an impression on me to be honest。 I only finished it yesterday and can't remember who did it。Okay book for people who like slow boilers。Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher I read a free advance review copy of the book。 This review is voluntary， honest and my own opinion。 。。。more

I liked the main characters， even Carmichael！ I found it an interesting story， although still had some questions by the end， especially the motive。 The red herrings kept the story flowing， as did the different time lapses。 One of the coincidences later in the book seemed a bit ridiculous though。 I look forward to reading more about the main characters if this becomes a series。

Jack Macintosh has to catch a serial killer before the Olympic Games begin in London and the powers to be want it done as fast as possible。Plenty to keep you gripped with the story told over two timeliness 1998 and 2012 which I enjoyed， getting to know the back story。I liked the characters and look forward to getting to know more about Jack in future books。Overall a really good read that keeps fast paced and interesting throughout。Thanks to Netgalley and Joffe B9oks for the ARC

A very predictable crime thriller。 A serial killer is on the loose and Detective Jack Macintosh has seven days to catch him or her oh and the London Olympics are about to start。 A few tense moments， strong characters but nothing to get my heart racing。 All in all a good read 。Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC。

This is a very good series featuring DI Jack Mac Intosh and what an excellent read it is。 It's a bit of a slow burner but totally gripped me from the start。 The writing style is excellent， with clever plotting， good characterisation and plenty tension。 It's set in two timelines from 1998 to 2012， which worked very well and I failed to work out the killer。 A must read for fans of the genre and 5* from me。 Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC。 This is a very good series featuring DI Jack Mac Intosh and what an excellent read it is。 It's a bit of a slow burner but totally gripped me from the start。 The writing style is excellent， with clever plotting， good characterisation and plenty tension。 It's set in two timelines from 1998 to 2012， which worked very well and I failed to work out the killer。 A must read for fans of the genre and 5* from me。 Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC。 。。。more

Seven Days by Michelle Kidd is the second book in a series that features DI Jack Macintosh。 I was lucky enough to read and review the first book in the series also。 I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and hoped Michelle Kidd could continue the series at the same level。 Well， I am really happy to say， it is just as good， if not better。 In this book we are taken to London during 2012。 The tension is rising as the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games looms closer with one week left DI Macin Seven Days by Michelle Kidd is the second book in a series that features DI Jack Macintosh。 I was lucky enough to read and review the first book in the series also。 I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and hoped Michelle Kidd could continue the series at the same level。 Well， I am really happy to say， it is just as good， if not better。 In this book we are taken to London during 2012。 The tension is rising as the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games looms closer with one week left DI Macintosh and his team at the Meteopolitan Police find themselves on the hunt for a serial killer。 One which seems to be choosing victims at random。 Jack and the time are definitely against the clock， will they manage to find the perpertrator while Jack has other things on his mind too？ Or not？Another smashing story in which we get to learn a bit more about Jack and his back story。 From the beginning of the first book I have thought that he is very relatable amd Michelle Kidd makes him even more so in this book。 Again another book that definitely keeps you reading and holds you throughout。 The crime itself does make Jack and the team work as it is a puzzling one that gives that intrigue to ths story。 The amount of red herrings I fell for this time！ Everytime I thought I had it。。。I wasn't right， so can't blame the team either。 I really look forward to reading this series aa Michelle has a way about her writing that pulls you in and it just flows from beginning to end。 Another book that made time fly for me！ So enjoy a great book！ Thanks to Damp Pebbles Blog Tours and Michelle Kidd， again， for my copy of this brilliant book。 。。。more

My god， what a book！！ I thought I loved the first book in this series， but Seven Days is on a whole new level。 An absolutely incredible story which was suspenseful， terrifying and so very addictive。 It was impossible not to love every single page！ I was completely absorbed in this book from beginning to end and was constantly amazed by just how perfectly the author has constructed each event。 The story is long， it’s detailed and very heavy at times， but it’s been written with such immense care a My god， what a book！！ I thought I loved the first book in this series， but Seven Days is on a whole new level。 An absolutely incredible story which was suspenseful， terrifying and so very addictive。 It was impossible not to love every single page！ I was completely absorbed in this book from beginning to end and was constantly amazed by just how perfectly the author has constructed each event。 The story is long， it’s detailed and very heavy at times， but it’s been written with such immense care and clarity that it was so positively overwhelming。 With a few curveballs here and there and so much more to learn about the characters I loved from The Phoenix Project， this one was everything I look for in a book and more。 An AMAZING read！You can read my full review over on my blog: https://aquintillionwords。com/2021/02。。。 。。。more

I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing the first book to feature DI Jack MacIntosh， which is called ‘The Phoenix Project’。 When I realised that I had another three books in the series to catch up on， I couldn’t wait to get started。 So without further ado， I grabbed my Kindle， grabbed a cup of tea and settled down to read ‘Seven Days’。 I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘Seven Days’ but more about that in a bit。It took me a little while to get into this story as I was feeling fairly tired when I s I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing the first book to feature DI Jack MacIntosh， which is called ‘The Phoenix Project’。 When I realised that I had another three books in the series to catch up on， I couldn’t wait to get started。 So without further ado， I grabbed my Kindle， grabbed a cup of tea and settled down to read ‘Seven Days’。 I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘Seven Days’ but more about that in a bit。It took me a little while to get into this story as I was feeling fairly tired when I started to read and I was having trouble concentrating。 I soon ‘woke up’ as the saying goes and from then on I found it really difficult to tear my attention away from the story。 I became so wrapped up in the story that I found it hard to put the book to one side for any length of time。 I was so intrigued by the characters and by the story that I just couldn’t stop reading。 At one point the pages were turning that quickly that it was almost as if they were turning themselves。 As I worked my way through the story。 All too quickly I reached the end of the book and I had to bid a temporary farewell to DI Jack MacIntosh。 I soon cheered up when I realised that I had the next two books in the series to catch up on。‘Seven Days’ is well written but then I thought that about ‘The Phoenix Project’ too。 In MacIntosh， Michelle has created a likeable character， who seems to get on with most people。 Michelle certainly knows how to grab your attention from the start and draw you into what proves to be a compelling story。 Reading this book was a bit like being on a scary and unpredictable rollercoaster rides with several twists and turns along the way。 The story is written from different time perspectives。 Most of the story takes place in 2012 with the occasional flashback chapter to describe certain events that happened and which impact on the story in 2012。 I found ‘Seven Days’ to be an addictive and fairly fast paced story which kept me guessing and kept my interest throughout。In short， I really enjoyed reading ‘Seven Days’ and I would recommend it to other readers。 I will certainly be reading more of Michelle’s work in the future。 The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 4* out of 5*。 。。。more

Check out all of my books at: https://www。avonnalovesgenres。comSEVEN DAYS （DI Jack MacIntosh Book #2） by Michelle Kidd is the exciting new book in the DI Jack MacIntosh series。 Once again， Ms。 Kidd has written a page turner that kept me guessing the identity of killer incorrectly well into the night。 While this book’s plot is a complete investigation， to get all of the backstory on all the characters， I feel it is helpful to start with “The Phoenix Project” which is book #1 in this fast-paced th Check out all of my books at: https://www。avonnalovesgenres。comSEVEN DAYS （DI Jack MacIntosh Book #2） by Michelle Kidd is the exciting new book in the DI Jack MacIntosh series。 Once again， Ms。 Kidd has written a page turner that kept me guessing the identity of killer incorrectly well into the night。 While this book’s plot is a complete investigation， to get all of the backstory on all the characters， I feel it is helpful to start with “The Phoenix Project” which is book #1 in this fast-paced thriller/British police procedural series。It is July 2012 and DI Jack MacIntosh and his team are assigned the monumental case of capturing a serial killer in just seven days before the Opening Ceremonies for the London Summer Olympics。 Women’s bodies are being discovered strangled and dumped in London parks。 There appear to be no ties to connect the victims and all of them have been thoroughly cleaned of all forensic evidence。As the days count down， Jack works to discover the killer while still fighting demons from his past that could cloud his judgement when it is most important。 The killer has Isabel。 Will Jack and his team be able to uncover the killer before it is too late？It was great to be reunited with the characters from the first book and introduced to DS Carmichael in this one。 One minor problem was I did feel Jack had too many flashbacks written into the story and at times they slowed the pace a bit， but I did realize they were included to show the extent of his PTSD which he has never dealt with in his adulthood。 I love not only Ms。 Kidd’s intricately written plot twists and surprises that comprise the individual book’s plotline， but also her ability to still leave small threads that arc over all the books in the series without making you feel cheated。 I recommend this second book in this series and I am anxiously waiting for the next！ 。。。more
