MADNESS ON THE ISLAND (Detective Liam O’Reilly #14) by Stewart Giles

From bestselling author: Stewart Giles comes another brilliant addition to the Detective Liam O’Reilly series.
Midsummer madness has hit the island of Guernsey with a vengeance.
The residents of the peaceful island are behaving irrationally.
It starts with an exclusive dinner party where two lifelong friends are hospitalised following a brutal fight, but things soon spiral out of control.
The first body is found, and Detective Inspector Liam O’Reilly is sent out to investigate.
A man has been maimed beyond recognition. The injuries he has sustained suggest that there is a maniac on the loose.
The killer is soon apprehended, and O’Reilly thinks that will be the end of it.
But when another mutilated corpse is found soon afterwards, O’Reilly realises he’s dealing with something very different to anything he’s come across before.
The killer of the first victim will be the one to shed light on the sudden madness that is spreading around the island, and O’Reilly will find himself in the middle of the most disturbing case of his career.

What readers are saying about MADNESS ON THE ISLAND:
It’s a wonderfully bizarre puzzle for O’Reilly. We have perpetrators confessing their crime, random acts of madness and DC Stone on a creative writing course. To top it all O’Reilly’s cat Bram becomes the centre of the drama. A unique action packed psychological thriller. Highly recommended.. – Carol
I love this series set on Guernsey. The books are good fun, full of humour, great characters and interesting storylines, as well as murder. This book is no exception.Plenty of twists and turns and a lot of red herrings all contributed to make this a thrilling read.  Revenge, lies, smuggling and hate all play a part and we learn more about the regular characters while being introduced to new ones which makes for a well-rounded story. – Maureen
Another absolutely gripping read that kept the pages turning.  In addition to the complicated case there are other problems for Liam O’Reilly that bring more interest and emotions into the story. – Amazon Reviewer 

Stewart Giles – Author Bio

After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them, I set off travelling around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in South Africa, where we still live. 
In 2014 Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head and I came up with the idea for a detective series. DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the first in the series was finished a few months later. 
3 years and 8 DS Smith books later, Joffe Books wondered if I would be interested in working with them. As a self-published author, I agreed. However, we decided on a new series – the DC Harriet Taylor: Cornwall series.
The Beekeeper was published and soon hit the number one spot in Australia. The second in the series, The Perfect Murder did just as well. 
I continued to self-publish the Smith series and Unworthy hit the shelves in 2018 with amazing results.  I therefore made the decision to self-publish The Backpacker which is book 3 in the Detective Harriet Taylor series which was published in July 2018.
After The Backpacker I had an idea for a totally new start to a series – a collaboration between the Smith and Harriet thrillers and The Enigma was born. It brought together the broody, enigmatic Jason Smith and the more level-headed Harriet Taylor. 
The Miranda trilogy is something totally different. A psychological thriller trilogy. It is a real departure from anything else I’ve written before. 
The Detective Jason Smith series continues to grow. I also have another series featuring an Irish detective who relocated to Guernsey, the Detective Liam O’Reilly series. There are also 3 stand alone novels.

My Review omg the islands gone mad, literally!! Is it a full moon?  We have murders being committed, folks confesting to murder but with no memories of it. What a unique plot we have unfolding here, though it’s book 14!! It’s easy to read and feel fully in the know as a standalone book. Which for me must be a hard skill to create, let alone coming out with entirely unique plots too, but somehow Stewart giles scratches this itch everytime, it’s so incredible.  Fast paced thriller that will keep you up at night, turning pages, you’ll never guess the endings either. One author that keeps me on my toes everytime
