HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW

This is the second book in this series and it is a belter. The story begins with Miranda behind bars in a Women’s prison in California convicted of the murder of a man that she ironically didn’t kill. I know, it has to make you smile when you know just how many lives she has taken. Thing is she has an alibi, she was at the time committing another murder, so she is between a rock and hard place as you could say. The story drops back to where the last book ended to fill in all the missing pieces and bring you up to date. Going back and forth between the past and present day.

Miranda had originally killed someone by accident but found she had got more than a thrill from it. Killing to Miranda was more than an obsession, it was an addiction that had to be fed regularly with more victims.

Huge mistakes have been made by the police and now, after an unthinkable discovery has been made, DS Swales swears he will track Miranda down and bring her to justice, along with Lisa Price from Newsblog24 who has a very personal reason for wanting to hunt her down. Miranda heads for the USA, where she can change her appearance but not her urges to carry on killing. It always feels like one door closes on Miranda as a door opens for Swales and Price as the distance gets smaller between them.

Stewart Giles has again delivered a fast, intense and shocking addition to this series. I read most chapters with my jaw dropped at this young woman that has an almost hypnotic grace as she kills each victim with such precision and skill. I had to read this book without a break, filling in the missing pieces desperate for the timelines to come together. Oh, boy, does Stewart Giles know how to wind a story up! I really couldn’t have asked for more from this author.

HERE, IS A LITTLE ABOUT THE AUTHOR

After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them, I set off travelling around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in South Africa, where we still live.

In 2014 Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head and I came up with the idea for a detective series. DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the first in the series was finished a few months later.

3 years and 8 DS Smith books later, Joffe Books wondered if I would be interested in working with them. As a self-published author, I agreed. However, we decided on a new series – the DC Harriet Taylor Cornwall series.

The Beekeeper was published and soon hit the number one spot in Australia. The second in the series, The Perfect Murder did just as well.

I continued to self-publish the Smith series and Unworthy hit the shelves in 2018 with amazing results. I therefore made the decision to self-publish The Backpacker which is book 3 in the Detective Harriet Taylor series which was published in July 2018.

After The Backpacker I had an idea for a totally new start to a series – a collaboration between the Smith and Harriet thrillers and The Enigma was born. It brings together the broody, enigmatic Jason Smith and the more level-headed Harriet Taylor.

Miranda is something totally different. A stand-alone psychological thriller, it is a real departure from anything else I’ve written before.
