When there’s more than secrets buried, where do you start
digging?
When Brooke Adams is found battered, bleeding, and barely
conscious, the police are at a loss as to who her attacker is or why she was
targeted.
Then, PI Rod Morgan turns up convinced that Brooke’s attack
is the latest in a string of unsolved disappearances
dating back twenty-five years.
The police, however, aren’t convinced, so Brooke and Rod
must investigate the cases themselves.
As secrets from the past start unravelling, will they find
Brooke’s attacker before he strikes again, or is that one secret that will stay
buried forever?
My Thoughts:
Roger Bray is fast becoming one of my favourite authors and Blood Ribbon is no exception to his excellent stable of reads. It is utterly gripping and I was transfixed throughout.
Told mainly from the perspective of Brooke Adams, what ensues is a lightening paced read with plenty of twists and turns that had me turning the pages at super speed just to find out what would happen next.
Brooke Adams is attacked and in hospital, police don't believe that it is the work of a serial killer on the loose as claimed by a private investigator. So boldly Brooke and said investigator Rod decide to do some digging for themselves to get to the bottom of what exactly has gone on.
The characters that Roger Bray writes about are always well thought out and multi dimensional. Characters that draw the reader in and makes them feel emotionally invested.
Another cracker from this talented author.
About the Author:
I
have always loved writing; putting words onto a page and bringing characters to
life. I can almost feel myself becoming immersed into their lives, living with
their fears and triumphs. Thus, my writing process becomes an endless series of
questions. What would she or he do, how would they react, is this in keeping
with their character? Strange as it sounds, I don’t like leaving characters in
cliffhanging situations without giving them an ending, whichever way it
develops.
My life to date is what compels me to seek a just outcome, the good will overcome and the bad will be punished. More though, I tend to see my characters as everyday people in extraordinary circumstances, but in which we may all find our selves if the planets align wrongly or for whatever reason you might consider.
Of course, most novels are autobiographical in some way. You must draw on your own experiences of life and from events you have experienced to get the inspiration. My life has been an endless adventure. Serving in the Navy, fighting in wars, serving as a Police officer and the experiences each one of those have brought have all drawn me to this point, but it was a downside to my police service that was the catalyst for my writing.
Medically retired after being seriously injured while protecting a woman in a domestic violence situation I then experienced the other side of life. Depression and rejection. Giving truth to the oft said saying that when one door closes another opens I pulled myself up and enrolled in college gaining bachelor and master degrees, for my own development rather than any professional need. The process of learning, of getting words down onto the page again relit my passion for writing in a way that I hadn’t felt since high school.
So here we are, two books published and another on track.
Where it will take me I have no idea but I am going to enjoy getting there and if my writing can bring some small pleasure into people’s lives along the way, then I consider that I will have succeeded in life.
