Authors looking for reviewers

So this seems a little seamy of me, joining a group and then immediately asking for a favour. I've been a goodreads member a while, but not really used it to its full potential. I've decided to change that.
Last week I released my second novel, a thriller/mystery/suspense about an apprentice private detective on the trail of a brutal serial killer. Its available for free on Amazon right now, and a few more reviews would really boost its profile!
Much appreciated.

Access Point

My latest novel is a bit different. Early days, but the reaction so far has been great:

A nice review from Blue Ink is out today:
The murder of a young American art student in London provides the catalyst for Access Point, a compelling thriller with science fiction and mystery elements.
The victim, Mia Fraser, isn't alive for much of the story, having perished at the hand of an unseen assailant. Regardless, readers follow her through many of her experiences because after Mia's death, her memories were uploaded into the mind of Ula Mishkin, who had been renting a room to Mia.
Ula, who lost much of her own long-term memory after an accident that left her comatose for a year, hopes to figure out who killed Mia—at least at first. But the longer Ula dwells in Mia's memories, the more complex her relationship becomes with the dead woman who lives on in her mind.
At the same time, Mia's murder is being investigated by a police detective, Sarah Boyd, whose role through much of the book is to chase down red herrings until the requisite showdown with the story's true villain.
Access Point is a notable change of pace for author Tom Gabbay, who previously wrote a series of well-received spy thrillers published in hardcover by William Morrow. This book explores some interesting metaphysical concepts, such as following a character who actively responds to events around her, despite only existing in an artificial world created from her memories.
The story often plays with the reader's expectations of what's actually occurring—and from whose perspective—when Ula and/or Mia are front and center. That works for the most part, although the chronology remains a bit convoluted, and some key characters could have used more fleshing out.
Access Point is not a whodunit but a psychological thriller with compelling explorations of memory, obsession, and identity. Readers will find it an intriguing and entertaining read.

I'm looking for anyone who might be interested in reviewing in my light-hearted crime mystery, Death By Curiosity :)
It follows Armitage Black, a 26-year-old Police Typist who becomes involved in the case of Elodia Knight, a lady responsible for several murders under the guise of being a witch. Knowing that witches aren't real, Armitage is determined to find out how Knight is making herself appear to have powers. But by digging into the murders and what Knight is up to, she finds herself targeted by Knight, who isn't going to let anyone get in her way - no matter the cost.

Fortunately, the area provides everything an artistically sensitive person needs, including a job at Norval, an oddball company that tracks and markets the online remains of the deceased.

Hi Everyone,
I'm excited to list my new book;
'Reciprocity- A James Striver Novel' on goodreads.
Federal Agent James Striver has had a tough 6 months . He's permanently separated from his wife. His father Rex has stage four brain cancer and he just started a Senior Investigators role with ATRO - a new Australian Government anti-crime agency. Striver's first big case has got the Federal Police breathing down his neck.
When he meets the woman of his dreams, Striver thinks his bad luck might be over. But when this nice guy gets targeted by a drug cartel, he's not about to take it on the chin. Striver's getting even with the criminals that pushed him right to the edge and payback has never tasted sweeter.
My book is published on Amazon KDP and is enrolled in the Kindle Unlimited Program so if you are a subscriber to that program the e-book is free to read.
Here is the link to the Amazon USA site

TAKE ME HOME
How much would you risk for a child who isn't yours?
An ingenious, taut, global thriller for fans of Linwood Barclay and Harlan Coben...
* * * * * * *
When struggling journalist Harper returns a dress to the shop she bought it from that morning, she sees the same little girl sitting in the exact same place she saw her hours ago.
No one in the shop knows who the girl is.
No desperate parents have contacted mall security to say they've lost their daughter.
And the local police have no new reports of a missing child.
The girl says she misses her mother.
But why is nobody looking for her?
And what if finding her home is the worst thing you could do?
* * * * * * *
From the chilly streets of New York City to the electric blue skies of coastal Florida - this is an emotional, page-turning road trip that follows a trail of theories, all the way to a devastating revelation...
An ingenious thriller with a big hook and twists galore - for fans of Linwood Barclay's No Time For Goodbye and Harlan Coben's Tell No One.

It was done well, but I'm hoping some more reviews will push it higher.
In the US, it is #57 in "Serial Kilkers" and #88 in Psychological fiction (kindle store). I'm hoping some reviews might get it into the top 25 in those categories.
Thanks for reading my shameless plug!! 😉

Connor Phelan had his dream job as a prosecutor. He was on top of the world until the sudden and tragic death of his wife and unborn child brought it crashing down.
He resigns almost immediately after the funeral and returns home to Rockfield, where he opens a small office of his own.
Soon, Connor is back in the thick of things and finds himself as special prosecutor of Bob Clancy, an infamous local man, who is accused of strangling a high school cheerleader.
After reviewing the case, Connor concludes that Clancy did break into the young girl’s house, but he is not her killer. Connor believes the actual murderer was a serial killer from twenty years earlier dubbed The Rockfield Strangler. And it doesn’t take long for DNA testing to confirm that the Rockfield Strangler is indeed back and has his eyes on his next victim.
But how do you catch a monster who has eluded the police for so long, especially when you are still grieving and trying to rebuild your life?
"The Aftermath is a fast read. It's a page-turner and you will be captivated by the memorable characters in this latest novel by Richard Cahill." - John Ferak - award-winning investigative journalist

I'm posting here on behalf of an author client of mine, hoping to spread the word about his latest series, and secure some honest reviews.

The Junior Minister by William Gilbert
The story follows a bitter and twisted, unreliable, ex-merchant seaman, ex-cop who runs a private detective agency dealing with expatriates in Bangkok, with the help of his post-operative transsexual assistant Petunia.
The Junior Minister
Bangkok. A disgraced British politician has apparently died in the Crimson Ass, an S and M bar in Patpong. British detective Garnet and his transsexual, Thai assistant, Petunia, are asked by the British authorities to investigate. While dealing with their case, they are distracted by a woman-killer who has appeared on the scene and seems to have known Garnet.
About the Author
William Gilbert first experienced professional seafaring as a teenager on a tramp tanker out of sweltering Houston for a thrilling voyage through Panama to the Far East and then Saudi Arabia and the Mediterranean and back to the United States, fuelling at Gibraltar, and then crossing the Atlantic in a massive storm and threading through the oil rigs of the Mexican Gulf to the same berth at which he’d joined six months’ earlier; a trip described in his top seller, Supertanker Circumnavigation.
After qualifying as a third officer, he spent several years on cape-size bulk carriers, during the crisis period when one of this type of vessel was sinking every few weeks, due to a combination of wear and tear, poor design and poor loading practices.

Hello. I am a fellow author looking for reviews. I am interested in reviewing your novel, if you have time to review mine.

Imagine a serial killer mystery that's not the usual gore-fest. Instead, it's an intricate puzzle that forces the killer to play detective. As it happens, he's well-suited for the role.
Charlie Novak, 44, is many things: war hero, senior investigator with the Insurance Crime Bureau, reluctant serial killer and a loner who’s about to fall in love for the first time in his life. The lucky object of his affections is Sydney Waters, a suspect in the murder of the person Charlie was scheduled to bump off at a later date--as part of a Black Widower scheme he and his partner have been profiting from for ten years. It seems Ms. Waters foretold this murder to her writing group six hours before she herself found the body. Her description of the crime scene was accurate enough to be an eye-witness account, except for the odd detail that it hadn’t happened yet. Charlie flies out to monitor the ensuing homicide investigation to make sure it doesn’t unravel all those earlier murders he and his partner have profited from. Sydney, a wannabe mystery writer, insists on helping the authorities solve the murder. The more this captivating woman speculates about possible killers, the closer she gets to the actual black widower scheme that Charlie (an expert at staging fatal accidents) and his partner (a serial marrier) have been perpetrating. Charlie sees only two ways to discourage this line of inquiry: find the real killer, or eliminate Sydney by arranging another fatal accident--that is, if his newly-tender heart will let him.
How did she so accurately foretell that murder, anyway?
Interested parties should reach out to me and let me know your preferred format: Word, EPUB or MOBI. Thanks!
