Summary

The seventh book in a series of procedural crime thrillers by #1 New York Times bestselling writer Jack Gatland, Killing the Music is perfect for fans of L.J Ross, Ian Rankin and Alex Smith.

When Dave Mansford, founding member of 80's band Alternator is electrocuted live on stage during a comeback concert, DI Declan Walsh and the team of the Last Chance Saloon are brought in to investigate whether it was a simple accident, or vicious murder. However, as they investigate further they find the surviving members of Alternator in the middle of a multi-million-dollar rights sale, a band whose lead singer disappeared in 1998 and has never been declared dead, and whose biggest success, the 1987 album Secrets and Lies seems to be cursed. With the bodycount climbing and with everyone keeping to their own version of events, can Declan discover what truly happened in a London recording studio over thirty years ago, and why everyone who was there that night has to die?

Repeat of old plot

I’ve really enjoyed the series up until now. I like the main characters, the plot line running through the series was so interesting first time around, not so interesting second and third times. I feel the author comes across a subject that really interests him, thoroughly researches it, manages to shoehorn it into a new book and then reverts back to the overarching plot, which isn’t really going anywhere. I mean, how many times can Declan get arrested for murder? The set up for his arrest this time was so obvious, but he didn’t see it coming, even though we’ve constantly been told he’s a genius detective. So I’m sadly saying goodbye to this series. However, I’m pleased to say the narration was up to the usual gold standard.
