Bonfire Night
FROM THE BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF UNLIKELY KILLER Under the cover of the bonfire night celebrations a young and troubled mother is shot dead, and her murder is remarkably similar to three murders thirty years before. DCI Butler and his colleague, Jeff Mason, are convinced that the murders are somehow linked, but when Jeff's deceased father comes under suspicion for the first three shootings, and his brother for the latest, he is removed from the investigation. In his desperate attempts to clear the family name, he discovers that there are more dirty skeletons in the cupboard than he could ever have imagined… “A shocking page-turner.” “[Ricki] will take you on a journey into the darkest recesses of the human mind.” “Brilliant...fast paced...a book that gets you hooked from the first page.”

Like many townies, the idea of living in a remote English rural village has a certain appeal. Colefield, in Lincolnshire, would be one village you may care to avoid, especially on Bonfire Night.
Put together the cover of darkness, and the sound of fireworks, and it's all the Christmas's come together for one predaceous local with a gun, who has a predilection for random execution of innocent women.
During the eighties, on three consecutive years, one female was slaughtered in such a way, on Bonfire Night. This unsolved case became known as the Bonfire Murders. Then inexplicably it stopped, until thirty years later, when a young mother was killed in the same way.
DCI Frank Butler and his colleague Jeff Mason investigate and believe that the recent murder is linked to the eighties murders. However, Jeff's deceased father is linked to the murders, and Jeff's brother Paul, and is taken off the case.
As the story unfolds we are taken on a journey of secrets, deception, blackmail, threats and more murder. Shocking from beginning to end, with some humour, this book has it all. The characters are strong and believable. It has everything (and more) that I would want from a psychological thriller.

When I started reading this book I had no idea what suspenseful treats awaited me.I was literally thrown for so many loops that I was dizzy from this tale.Jeff Mason a police detective reunited with his estranged brother and father after being separated from them for most of his life had no clue that his life will soon be forever changed.Ricki Thomas is Brilliant,she managed to make me experience so many emotions reading this book.I was excited by the mystery,scared for the characters in danger,I cried for many of the characters and was shocked speechless with the turn of events at the end.This was a fabulous thriller that had me on the edge of my seat applauding the author.
