The Death Messenger: A Thriller
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Track a stalker. Catch a killer. The Death Messenger is a tense police procedural following The Silent Room in the thrilling Matthew Ryan series by Mari Hannah.
When a mysterious DVD is delivered to Northumbria Police Headquarters, DS Matthew Ryan and Detective Superintendent Eloise O'Neil are among the few to view its disturbing content. With little to go on the only lead comes from the anonymous and chilling woman's voice narrating the blood-soaked lock-up depicted on screen.
But with no victim visible, nor any indication of where the unidentifiable crime scene is located, Ryan and O'Neil get the distinct feeling someone is playing with them. What is certain is that the newly formed special unit has just taken on its first challenging case.
As further shocking videos start arriving at police stations around the country, the body count rises. But what connects all the victims? And why are they being targeted? As the investigation deepens, the team is brought to breaking point as secrets from the past threaten to derail their pursuit of a merciless killer . .

November 15, 2018
Two British detectives team up to investigate four murders in Northumbria, Scotland, and Denmark in this European police-procedural thriller.Detective Superintendent Eloise O'Neil and DS Matthew Ryan investigate a bloody crime scene, where they find a woman's blood and an expensive men's shoe but no victim. At a second scene, they discover more blood, which matches that of Leonard Maxwell, Lord Trevathan, a missing judge. Both scenes and two others are believed to be linked, as they appear in DVDs sent to the police, presumably by the killer, whom O'Neil and Ryan call "Spielberg." The investigation is overshadowed by O'Neil's turf war with Nicholas Ford, a civilian bureaucrat who O'Neil believes is a misogynist, and O'Neil and Ryan's personal relationship, which consists of bickering and flirting, secret-keeping (O'Neil), romantic fantasizing (Ryan), and, ultimately, a chaste kiss on the head. The pace is slow in Hannah's eighth novel as O'Neil and Ryan struggle to discover any evidence, leads, or suspects. Instead, they drive, talk to each other, stop to admire the view on their way to a crime scene, and pop into a pub for a drink on their way to interview a prime suspect. O'Neil's secret turns out to be relatively mundane and not directly related to the crimes. Spielberg's motive for the murders isn't entirely credible, and when the killer's identity is at last discovered, no one seems to care that much.An intriguing premise devolves into a so-so thriller that's more about in-fighting and time-wasting than mystery, danger, or peril.COPYRIGHT(2018) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

November 1, 2018
After working on opposing sides in The Silent Room (2018), Northumbria detectives Matthew Ryan and Eloise O'Neil join forces to launch a covert investigations unit. Their first case kicks off with a call from a killer who directs them to a crime scene strewn with blood but empty of victims. O'Neil swears she heard the same voice narrating a video that showcased a similarly gruesome scene in Scotland. With the help of retired detective Grace Ellis and her former intelligence-operative husband, Newman, the team circumvents police bureaucracy and connects the killer's modus operandi to the murder of Britain's ambassador to Denmark and the apparently unconnected disappearances of a high-ranking Scottish judge and a groundbreaking documentary filmmaker. But finding the motive connecting the killer to her victims proves more elusive. Hannah's second thriller features strong procedural detail, an intriguing villain, and intensely loyal detectives whose complicated partnership will appeal to readers seeking the driven emotional intensity of Val McDermid's Carol Jordan and Tony Hill thrillers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
