Ebook Review: Off Season (A Detective Ryan Mystery #1) by Clive Fleury

 

Blurb: 

Detective Ryan navigates drug overdoses, a mysterious foot on the beach and a long-buried cold case.

Detective Ramesh Ryan's career with Sydney's prestigious Organized Crime Unit is on the up, until he loses a court case against the city's most powerful drug dealer. In disgrace, the detective is relocated to the tiny Australian beach town of Barton.

It is off-season in Barton-when its few criminals usually take a well-earned rest. But not this year! With the detective's arrival, the town suddenly becomes murder central. Two bodies are discovered in the space of days, both victims of drug overdoses. Then a mysterious foot is found washed up on the beach, and memories are awoken of an unsolved cold case of the teenager who disappeared fifteen years ago. Add to this a blossoming romance, along with a contract taken out on Ryan's life, and it's clear that the detective has jumped out of the Sydney frying pan into the Barton fire.

What follows is an action-packed adventure, thrilling at every turn-where truth and lies are almost impossible to separate, and unexpected twists are the order of the day.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

This mystery was full of twists, turns, surprising connections, death, drugs, and more. Ramesh Ryan was sent to a small town to look into a cold case. His stay was much full of bodies, drugs, and kidnappings. It was a bit difficult to keep up with all the players, and I did not discern who the killer would be. That did not take away from the story, and I felt the ending was well explained. I did enjoy how Ramesh trained Zoe to be a better cop. Overall, this was a very entertaining read.

I received a copy through Goddess Fish Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review,
