The Killing Crew by Murray Bailey Review (Gifted/AD)

Hello Readers,
Thank you, Murray Bailey,for sending me a physical copy of The Killing Crew for free in exchange for an honest review.
 
I am beyond excited to back be on an adventure with Mr Carter. This is the second book in the Ash Carter prequel series that I have read the first was Cyprus Kiss. I think this is the 10th book I have been lucky enough to read by Murray and I love to read his books because I know I'm in safe hands and settling down to a great read.
 
Just like Cyprus Kiss this book focuses on Ash’s life as a military investigator before his later move to Singapore. I might be bias but once again Murray has effortlessly created a vivid and easy to visualise world where he transports us as the reader into his world.
 
The Killing Crew is an excellent read as there were so many great twists and turns that kept me guessing till the end. This book was also a quick read and an instant page-turner that I didn’t want to put it down. There are doubts cast on characters that increase the tension as you don’t know who to trust. Even as the book nears its exciting conclusion Murray keeps you guessing.
 
I really enjoyed this book and how Murray managed to effortless blend history with fiction within as everything was well-described without bogging down the story. I also have a soft spot for how Murray writes characters one minute, you’re falling in love with them and the next you’re doubting their intentions. I honestly had no idea who was guilty in this book as Murray kept me guessing.
 
It’s clear I have a little soft spot for Mr Carter, but I adore him as a character and his fortitude when it comes to getting to truth of the matter. He also has a slightly darker side when it comes to dealing with cruelty, and violence of war.
