27 (A Jan Norge Hilda Baker thriller Book 2)

27 : A club you definitely do not want to be a member of.

What starts out as a series of seemingly unrelated murders, soon turns into something much darker.
A murderer is killing people, based on the causes of death of the members of the mythical 27 Club.

Detectives Jan Norge and Hilda Baker are baffled. Someone is going to a lot of trouble to get the details right, but none of the officers on the team are able to figure out why they’re doing it.

As the body count increases, Jan and Hilda make a breakthrough of sorts in the form of a tragic accident that happened sixteen years ago, But it soon becomes clear that there is more to it than a simple tragic event. The murderer the press is dubbing The 27 Club Killer has another agenda, and with the list of potential victims running into the dozens the pressure is on for Jan and Hilda to stop the most depraved killer either of them has ever come across.

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 Jan Norge is a Swiftie stop the press that made my day reading that. No made my year!! I love this being peppered in and adding a dimension to our main character. The cultural phenomenon the 27 club has been around for years as we’ve all seen some of our favourites die at this age. No matter your age you will have a cultural icon of your era who has entered this club. From Buddy Holly to Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison to Jimi Hendrix, to more recent Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse each one enters and is added to the history books. To have a story based on this club was a wild ride to read and it was executed perfectly. The working relationship between Jan and Hilda is a sight to behold, it feels natural and easy and comfortable like they have always bounced off each other. Another cracking series and I think I love this team the most!!

How bizarre another book I’m reading just happens to mention the 27 club as well.
