The White Devil of Dublin
Detective Ryan O'Clery agrees to meet a noted historian who claims to have information about his ancestors. But when he arrives, he finds she has been murdered and her computer stolen. His investigation will lead him back to 12th Century Ireland, to a time of Viking invaders and conquests, to an albino known as The White Devil of Dublin, and to a secret his family kept hidden for more than eight hundred years. It will also bring him face to face with a present-day serial killer intent on finishing the job he started.

The White Devil of Dublin is the sequel to The Tempest Murders, but I believe both can stand alone. I love P M Terrell’s ability to pen a fantastic tale, so I do recommend beginning at the beginning.
We start out with Baldr, know by his crew as Hvitr Bard, The White Devil, standing at the bow of his Viking ship. That’s a great start for me, and I am on board for the ride.
Detective Ryan O’Clery and his partner are serving an arrest warrant in present day North Carolina.
He had found, literally, the woman of his dreams and now he had twin daughters. Life is good. Until…
A historian and author wanted to meet with him…about his ancestry. He thinks she is wrong about, but agrees to see her. When he arrives at her place, he finds her dead, her throat cut ear to ear. His first thought is that it was the work of the serial killer that he had faced off against in The Tempest Murders. But that can’t be. He was dead.
I love the light touches P M Terrell shares, his sister’s twin girls are a delight and their culinary art, well if you are good in the kitchen, this may give you some ideas.
Foreshadowing happens early and I want you to know, P M, I am onto you and I was looking for it. LOL
A romance and love that could last a lifetime will never be. And those that interfered will pay dearly.
“Each O’ ye,” she spat, her words blending with the unforgiving, vicious winds, “is cursed forever more.”
That pretty much says it all.
He’s like a ghost, watching, waiting…
P M Terrel’s writing is gripping, not letting go until the last word is read. I laughed with the characters, I cried for them, and I wished the curse would end and give peace to them all. I worry…fret…and worry some more. Don’t let them out of your sight….PLEASE.
The pacing creates a level of tension and anticipation that has me clutching the book tightly, trying not to race through the pages so I can savor the amazing story as it unfolds.
I cannot find one thing wrong with this fabulous tale. Well done!

From the first page with the description of the “white devil” I knew I was in for another wonderful story from p.m. terrell. Ryan O’ Clery thinks he has his family’s complete history. When someone tries to tell him differently he doesn’t believe and one by one people are dying. What has been kept hidden from the family’s written history? What will it lead to? Why does the murderer seem intent on destroying his family, where does he fit in to this puzzle? The answers are in the past, has Ryan got what it takes to find the answer before everything he loves is gone?
I swear p.m. terrell could not write anything that is less than terrific, I will always willingly read any book she puts out. I start reading and I am instantly pulled into the story, see what the characters do, share their emotions, there is nothing I like more. A masterful author she tells her story in such a way as to intrigue the reader, hold their attention and it works. Before I wind this up I have to say: I am a true fan of her work, love to see the new books, and I share her fascination with Ireland. I want to thank p.m. for allowing me to read and review another book…keep them coming, I eagerly await them all! Another well-deserved five star rating.

This was a thrilling, suspenseful read that hooked its claws into me from the first page.
Well-paced with an easy flow that kept the tension running throughout, this book was heart wrenching and intense. I loved the switch from past to present and how the stories were intermingled. With plenty of twists and turns there was never a dull moment, as Ryan fought to find the serial killer who had haunted his family’s life in the first book, and who seemed intent on doing just the same in this story.
I was intrigued by how an age old feud made its way through generation after generation, destroying lives. Delport was obviously crazed and his sinister acts made for edge of your seat reading.
This book was a stunning thriller with strong characters and an even stronger plot line. A stellar read.
