A Silent Way to Die (A Kember and Hayes Mystery Book 2)

This was better than book one as the additional characters were more well rounded - it does fall into a very annoying trap however - if you accidentally read this book before the first you will already know the solution to the first mystery - not good form in my opinionThe research that has gone into these books is clear and the main characters are well written and authentic - the puzxle itself is good

Another good book in the series. It moves along at a fast pace and keeps the reader's interest with lots of twists and turns leading to an unexpected ending

It’s great to see a new writer developing their writing style, and improving their story telling abilities. This is certainly the case with NR Daws’ second book of the Kember & Hays mysteries. I’m looking forward to book 3.

Good paced murder mystery in a great setting really enjoyable read I can highly recommend it second in the series hopefully there will be more

I really enjoyed this book I hope to read many.more and see a relationship develop between member and lizzie.don't make us wait to.long

Again a fantastic book, my favourites are always the ones I don’t guess the killer. Enjoyed the amount of research put into writing this cannot wait for the next

The printing on this page is now so faint as to be almost unreadable. Please can you go back to black page and white print, or at least make the text darker so that is easier to read.

As he proved with his opening Kember and Hayes thriller A Quiet Place to Kill, N. R. Daws has the knack for writing a decent wartime mystery thriller.The usual police procedural side of things is all well and good at least most of the time. Sometimes though, as is the case here, the psychological element that Lizzie can bring to the table may just tip the balance.Considering the events occurring within the narrative, I doubt you would call this a character-driven novel. But personally, I found Lizzie Hayes to be the driving force behind the story. I find her methods and sheer doggedness a joy to behold, and along with Kember, they make a formidable team. (Although I am still jealous Lizzie has a Norton.)I find it much easier to get into the story when you can gel with the main protagonists. Seeing the dynamics at work between Lizzie and DI Jonathan Kember is fascinating. The pair certainly grab my interest from the very outset.This is a relatively slow-paced police procedural mystery, but it does not suffer for the lack of thrills. Because there is plenty of intrigue and suspense to keep the plot moving nicely.I like the writing style as it is unhurried and gives the reader time to breathe and take in the atmosphere, sights and sounds of a turbulent time in the history of this country.There is a great deal to like about Kember and Hayes, and I am hopeful this will not be the last we see of the intrepid duo. I certainly recommend getting hold of a copy if the opportunity arises.Many thanks to Amazon Publishing UK and NetGalley for allowing me to view the advanced copy of the book.
