Review: One Strange Accident by Kay Wyont

Synopsis: Homicide detective Randy Monroe has plenty of work to do without looking for more cases. But when he gets wind of a rash of strange accidents, his gut says there’s more to it. At first, there seems to be nothing connecting the incidents, but when he and his partner, Danny Beckman, dig deeper, they find something beyond their expectations. Now, it’s up to Randy and Danny to track down the evil Svengali behind the attacks before more innocent people die.

This one follows on from One Inner Voice - and the case in the first book is referenced a couple of times in this second book.

This time our detective duo of Danny and Randy are looking into a series of strange accidents " ... another incident of a normal person doing something abnormal ...". What - and more importantly - who - is behind these accidents. Once the reader gets an inkling of where they are headed, things more along at a brisk pace, the tension palpable, as we are propelled ever forward towards the gripping conclusion.

Enjoying the verbal interplay between the detectives - Danny and Randy, and welcome the introduction of a new character. But will the team reach their conclusions before more lives are lost?

This is a great little series set in San Antonio, Texas. Looking forward to more from Kay! 

Review: One Inner Voice by Kay Wyont

Synopsis: Sometimes, the High and Mighty need to be taken down a peg or two. Everyone should have a purpose, and this is mine: to make a difference. One death at a time.

San Antonio Police Detectives Randy Monroe and Danny Beckman know two things: a serial killer is on the loose, and they don’t have enough clues to catch him. Surely the fact that the victims are murdered elsewhere and the bodies moved and dumped at churches means something, but what? With every new incident, Randy and Danny become more obsessed with unraveling the facts. But the closer they get to the truth, the more it looks like it might take a miracle to bring the killer to justice. 

A short yet compelling read as we follow two detectives trying to link and solve a series of mysterious deaths and unmask a serial killer with a religious bent . The investigation is labourious as all avenues are explored by the detectives, yet we must read on to the conclusion where we discover ......... really, plot spoiler? Not this reviewer.

I particularly liked how the author interspersed the main narrative with that of the first person narrative of the serial killer, who drops a subtle hint every now and again, and gives us a sneak peak into their possible motivation and struggles as they carry out their "mission".

This was my first book from this author and I am looking forward to more in this series.
