My Review: 

A Random Kill is the first book in the new series DS Regan Carter by Andrew Barrett. I was drawn into A Random Kill’s world from the first page. I happen to be very invested in stories like A Random Kill at the moment. I can’t seem to get enough of crime stories. 

A woman is crossing the street pushing her baby when shots rang out. Someone is shooting at her. She rushes across the street with her baby and as she is almost to the other side she is shot causing the baby to topple over into the street. The baby is taken. 

DS Regan Carter is assigned to the case. Regan was transferred to the Major Crime Unit. Regan did not ask to be reassigned as she hates dead bodies. Regan thinks she is being punished. She doesn’t think she belongs in the Major Crime Unit. She loved her old job. 

We get A Random Kill’s story from more than one view. We get to follow more than one character’s story. I enjoyed reading each character’s story. By reading more than one character’s point I get to know more about them and what happened in their part of the story rather than being told what happened from another character. 

I can’t wait to read more in DS Regan Carter’s world. I can’t wait to see what crimes await us in the next book. 

I highly recommend A Random Kill to anyone who likes a good crime thriller. Grab a copy of A Random Kill today!
