Blurb; Dealing with everyday crime in London, DI Denis Hamilton is urgently called into a briefing in the early hours of his weekend off. Torn away from his family life, he must unravel an investigation he thought had long closed.
Putting his personal worries to one side, Hamilton and his Murder Investigation Team come up against a patient with a mental disorder hell-bent on revenge.
Comparing the present day with memories of his tragic past, can Hamilton open his mind to the difficulties of mental illness in order to catch a murderer?

My Review; Happy Publication Day! The Stranger Within is book four in the brilliant DI Hamilton series which I am absolutely loving! A fab series you must all add to your to read pile. I would recommend this series is best read in order.

Wow weeee. Where to beginning? What another brilliant story written by Tara. I flew through this story! This could possibly be the best story yet. Gripping, thrilling and a real page turner. A book you will want to read in one sitting. I think I may just have fallen inlove with DI Hamilton a little.

This time the case gets dark and personal for the team, could this be their worst case yet when one of their own is involved? When a killer wants revenge? Bloody brilliant. Cleverly written! A well deserved five stars from me… I now eagerly await book five… Hopefully 😉 Highly recommend!

Blurb:
Who can you really trust?

Detective Inspector Denis Hamilton is dragged into a gruesome murder investigation, while on annual leave at Lake Windermere. A handwritten note, with a woman’s name, is found inside the corpse.

When a direct link to London is identified, Hamilton must race against the clock to make the connection before the body count rises.

Meanwhile, four friends with strained relationships, are reunited. What past event do they want to keep buried and is there something linking them to the murders?

Then, when a person from Hamilton’s past returns, he must ask himself: how well do we really know our friends?

My Review: 
Secrets always lead to trouble…
Deadly Friendship is book three in the DI Hamilton series and I am loving this series. This story had me intrigued and hooked just from the prologue. It is safe to say that I devoured this book! I enjoyed every minute of this book and it was lovely to be back with DI Hamilton and his team. Deadly Friendship does read well as a standalone but if you’re like me you’ll probably want to read the series in order anyway. This story is easy to read, written brilliantly and fast paced. I couldn’t put it down. It held my attention till the very last page. I did not figure out the plot at all and did not expect the outcome. WOW. I would highly recommend this story to you all if you haven’t read it already. This series is one to keep your eye on. Brilliant. A well deserved five stars from me, I can’t wait to see what lies ahead for Hamilton and his team in this series.

Blurb:
Detective Inspector Denis Hamilton is haunted when the suspicious death of a teenage girl triggers suppressed memories. With a stalker targeting vulnerable women in Central London, and his team rapidly diminishing, Hamilton must conquer his emotions before another family is destroyed.

In a sleepy town in Hertfordshire, Katy has worked hard to rebuild her life after leaving behind everything she knew. But when her past catches up with her, and her young son’s life is threatened, Katy must admit her true identity if she has any hope of surviving.

A home should be a safe place, shouldn’t it? But sometimes it is hard to know who you can trust…

London’s murder investigations team returns in the second novel from the bestselling author of In the Shadows.

My Review:
WOW! I seriously loved and devoured this book within a day! No Safe Home is the second story of the DI Hamilton series but reads well as a stand alone too! This is the first story I have read by Tara Lyons and I was blown away! I have her other story ready to read! I would suggest reading the series in order though which I personally never do these days DO’H! But a well deserved five stars, I was hooked from the first page and stayed up late into the morning reading it. This is a page turner that I would highly recommend to you all, you will not be able to put it down!

No Safe Home is easy to read, well written and contains short chapters. I fell in love with DI Hamilton from the start, what a hero! I promise you this story will keep you on the edge of your seat. I WANT MORE!! I think I’m turning into a crime addict. Brilliant. Thrilling. Addicted. Enjoy.
