Looking for an explosive crime thriller? Then discover Eddie
Collins, CSI, today.
Some secrets, no matter how well buried, refuse to die.
When the remains of a woman are found in a burnt-out car,
Eddie Collins reluctantly teams up with his enemy, DI Benson, to untangle the
knot of lies behind this apparent suicide.
In the midst of all this, Eddie’s life grows more
complicated by the day; his perfect relationship is suffocating him. As a CSI
in the Major Crime Unit, he is also being forced to accept a promotion that he
doesn’t want, leading a team that he can’t control or tolerate.
Even when the mystery is solved, proving it turns out to be
deadly…

My Review:
Our favorite CSI, Crime Scene Investigator, Eddie Collins is
back. When dead bodies start turning up, who do you call? Why, Eddie Collins of
course the best crime scene investigator around. Eddie and his team are called
to a scene of a burnt out car and with a body inside. Eddie being the expert that he is leaves no
detail unturned and inspects every square inch of the crime scene. Eddie is out
to find the truth and being lazy when investigating a scene will not get you
that truth.
Eddie is called into the bosses office and offered a
promotion which he turns down as he doesn’t think he can be the boss besides
his friend, co-worker and girlfriend Ros is up for the promotion but Eddie is surprised
to learn that Ros has turned down the promotion but her reason for turning it
down in the first place is a bigger shock to Eddie. Ros informs Eddie that she
is leaving him, the force and moving away.
After Ros informs him of her plans and the boss tells him
who will take his place if he turns it down Eddie has no choice but to take the
job and move up and become the boss, leader himself.
I love these Eddie Collins, CSI, forensic investigating
series. I love Eddie’s attention to detail when investigating a crime scene. I
also love his attitude and how he looks at life and all his come backs when
talking to others.
I like that we get points of view from each character and I
like trying to figure out how each character’s life is going to intertwine. The
Hammer Falls is a fast paced read that will keep you glued to the pages trying
to figure out whodunit and what road Eddie is going to take us on next.
The Hammer Falls is for all fans of mystery, Suspense or thriller
or anyone who likes trying to figure out whodunit.
