Pretend To Be Dead: A British Murder Mystery (Detective Inspector Declan Walsh) Paperback – 18 Dec. 2023

As always with this series, packed with action, and lovely twists in the plot.

I like all Jacks books find the characters and the blend between the characters to be great.

Omg i always thought the Reaper was out there somewhere. Cant wait for the next book to see where this story goes. Will the Reaper escape again. Will Declan finally get him behind bars. Will the CIA magically didappear him again. Many senarios or perhaps even a different ending. Declan Walsh books just keep getting better and better.

Not the best book I've read but that's personal opinion. It was quite hard to get into and I had to make myself pick it up to read .

Well worth a read. Though a lot of suspects to try and guess. But nice easy reading. Whole series has been good.

I found this book really hard to get going, not Jack Gatlands best in my opinion and I love this author.

Once again Jack Gatland presents a list of characters each of which is responsible for part of a crime. Sorting out who has done what and to whom has become a logistical nightmare. Too many people involved in, quite frankly, too weak a crime story.

Not even close to a realistic story. Of course, it's not real, but good writing at least gives a nod to being possibly real. Not this. Dialogue is terrible, plot is stupid, the writing is also very poor English. I didn't pay anything to read (some of) this nonsense, but, even so, I want my money back!

The plot line and movement was uninteresting and boring; and the finish was comedic. The way the murders were committed and the mutual dueling deaths occurred was silly

For mystery readers that enjoy mystery with some climactic twist and some very intriguing stories that will have you confused to the end. Looking forward to the next sequel.

I enjoy Mr Garlands books.He always has a great story line and he does wonderful descriptives. Can't wait for the next book.

Too involved, hard to follow. None of the usual light hardiness of Walsh . The stories are getting too dark to be entertaining.

OK
