#ADGIFTED all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I get really excited when I know another Stewart Giles book is coming. It’s become my favourite pair of slippers, they feel comfortable and comforting, when all around us is madness, I take comfort in these books so much. They are like a warm hug, or a best friend.

THE GRAVEYARD (Detective Jason Smith #34) by Stewart Giles

From bestselling author: Stewart Giles comes another brilliant addition to the Detective Jason Smith.
The Graveyard isn’t an ordinary burial ground. This is a place where the fates of those who are yet to be dead and buried is sealed.

In the run up to Christmas, two, apparently unconnected deaths capture the attention of Detective Smith and the team. The brutal murder of a grandmother, and a woman slain in her kitchen mean that all plans for the festive season are cancelled.
When a man jumps out of a hotel window, soon afterwards, Smith quickly connects the dots.
This is not going to be a normal investigation.
The Graveyard is going to give Smith bad dreams for years.

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 Another newbie to the Smith team and they are a fan of smith, but he doesn’t understand his appeal. Gritty from the off, we have a grandmother killed in front of her grandchildren, who is now top traumatised to speak, soon another is done in a similar fashion, what connects them? The courier? While everyone else is prepping for Christmas, not Smiths favourite time of year, our team is knuckling down to get to grips with this new killer before he takes another life.

It amazes me how Stewart Giles manages to keep us all hooked and eager to read, as well keep each case so fresh and new too. I’m always impressed with how many ways these killers kill and what their motives are.
