I was born in Scotland but have lived most of my life in the beautiful Channel Island of Jersey. I live in a house by the sea with my husband and three cats. (I know!)
I have been writing for the last decade and Blood In The Sand is my first published novel. My second book, Blood Ties, was published at the end of November 2016.
I love walking on the beach and reading, reading, and reading.
A body is found on a boat. It belongs to a member of a rather fractured family and as Le Claire and his team investigate, they are snowed under with people who might have wanted the man dead. Their task is to sieve out the evidence and find which one it actually was.
I’ve really enjoyed this series, this being the third. The relationships, within Le Claire’s own family, and between members of his team, are growing and strengthening, and I’m enjoying taking these journeys with them. Kelly Clayton manages to find a good balance between the popular but often incredible ‘rogue cop’ genre and the foot-slogging real life police drama. Sometimes you could shake Jack Le Claire, but you admire his tenacity and his attention to the job. Snippets of his family life add to the mix and a horrible episode from his past comes up to bite him at the end. There’ll be more Jack Le Claire, I’m glad to say! A really good story in which the island of Jersey is almost a character.
This is the third instalment of the Jack Le Claire series. This is proabably the best book so far. It is surprisingly good with enough plot twists to keep the reader hooked. They all come together for a good thrilling ending. I am now looking forward to the next book.
Although I was originally intrigued in reading this series for the local angle, these thrillers are worth reading for their gripping storyline and multiple threads. I would like to see more development of other character Dewar - she has hidden depths!
Much anticipated third Jack Le Claire novel hit the spot again. I waited until I had time to sit read and appreciate this book as I guessed that when I started it I would want to get on with it. The plot is again full of twists and turns, keeping you guessing throughout. I would recommend all three of the Jack Le Claire books.
I enjoyed reading this book, it was well written. The place is in Jersey, which made the story interesting. The story was very complicated, so many things were happening, and also there are many people involved. I found that it was difficult to remember their names , but it did work in the end. The ending was very exciting and unexpected.
