Rocco and the price of lies by Adrian Magson

Rocco and the price of lies by Adrian Magson - Blog tour.


Murder by suicide? Three senior government officials – a judge, a politician, and an ex-police chief – are all dead by their own hands. Inspector Lucas Rocco finds himself once more working for the Interior Ministry: undertaking an investigation meant to avoid a government scandal and ignoring unpalatable truths. He’s soon convinced that a common denominator must be at play… Rocco uncovers top-level fraud, theft and deception. And when he narrowly survives an attempt on his life, he realises that he has nothing to lose by bringing the truth out into the open – whatever the risks.

So I would like to start by saying a big thank you to the publisher The Dome Press for sending me a copy of the book to read and review as part of this blog tour.

Rocco and the price of lies is actually the sixth part in a series that is based around a character called Inspector Lucas Rocco, saying that though I had to problem reading this book even though I hadn't read any of the other books.

I really enjoyed this book, I found that it was perfectly paced, it wasn't going to fast but then it wasn't going to slow that I would lose interest.

You really can't help but take an instant liking to Rocco, he's very direct but also funny at times, you really can't help but like him.

The topic of this story is very much the kind of books I like to read so I will 100% be adding all the others in this set to my list, which is huge as it is but these books going by how much I enjoyed this one is a must!

And on a final note can I just say a huge thank you again to The Dome Press and of course the author Adrian Magson for bringing these books into my life and for finally giving me the first 5-star book I have read this year! Thank you!

My rating is: ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ 
(5 stars)

Thank you for reading.

Guest Post:
I never expected, when I moved to France many years ago, that I would end up writing a police series set in Picardie, the area where I lived. Well, I was only 9 at the time, and writing was the furthest thing from my mind. When you find yourself in a foreign country, having to learn the language because nobody speaks English, and getting to grips with everything that is French, you have other things to occupy your mind.
Fast-forward, however, a lot of years and back in England, and a writer is what I’ve become. I’ve done all sorts, from short romantic fiction for women’s magazines, to features, to creative writing, to comedy material and now books.
And now all that French experience has come home to roost. It means I’ve been able to trawl through the canyons of my brain and come up with not just a cast of characters, but a setting I know well from having lived there. True, I need the storylines and plots, too, but that’s what I do.
Rocco and the other characters seemed to slot in quite easily. And placing them in the rural pastures of the Somme, in northern France, was an easy choice. They have been fun to create, too. Not based on specific individuals, but an amalgam of many.
As to the setting, pastures or not, crime is crime whether in the cities, towns or villages, and it needs a resolute cop to deal with it. And Inspector Lucas Rocco is as resolute as they come.
But a main character needs to be placed out of his or her comfort zone, to stretch and challenge them. And having fought gangs in Paris, Rocco finds himself in the back of beyond, where you have to drive somewhere to find a phone, a coffee, a criminal or even a fellow officer.
In this the 6th book-length outing for Rocco, he’s tasked by the Interior Ministry with investigating the apparent suicides of three high-profile members of the establishment. But there’s a problem: nobody in the government wants him to uncover a scandal. Unfortunately for Rocco, there are three of them. And one thing Rocco doesn’t do is cover up anybody’s wrong-doings.

I still remember - Review - Blog Tour.

I still remember by  Priya Prithviraj. Blog Tour. Title:  I Still Remember Genre : Contemporary Romance/ Coming-of-Age Age category : Young Adult Release date : May 14, 2017 How do you forget someone you’ve loved once? Ji-woo dreams of becoming a writer and is back in college giving it a second shot. But then Weon-gyu, her first love, comes back into her new life. Will she give up on her dreams or will she write them a happy ending? So… this book is a nice short read, something nice and easy to pick up. I read this on holiday and I wanted something that I could get stuck into but something that wasn’t going to take all my time up if I got stuck into it and to be honest this book did just that I actually finished it in 2 nights. For me personally, I would have liked a bit more background on the characters that are in the book so we could relate to them a bit more. I liked how to story is about a love you once had can turn up at any time

The binding song by Elodie Harper. A chilling debut for fans of Mo Hayder and Sharon Bolton, THE BINDING SONG takes you on a trip to Halvergate Prison. If you're lucky, you'll get to leave... Dr Janet Palmer is the new lead psychologist at HMP Halvergate in a remote, bleak area of Norfolk. At first, she was excited by the promotion. Then she starts to see how many secrets are hiding behind the high walls. A string of inmates have committed suicide, leaving no reasons why, and her predecessor has disappeared - along with his notes. The staff are hostile, the threat of violence is ever-present, and there are rumors of an eyeless woman stalking the corridors, punishing the inmates for their sins. Janet is determined to find out what is really going on. But the longer she stays and the deeper she digs, the more uncertain she feels. Halvergate is haunted by something. But it may be a terror worse than ghosts...
