Dead Poor (Tom Barlow Detective Series Book 1) By Ian Wingrove
Dead Poor (Tom Barlow Detective Series Book 1) By Ian Wingrove Kindle Edition Crime Dead Poor (Tom Barlow Detective Series Book 1) Private detective Tom Barlow has been tasked with making a documentary about the Met Police’s investigation of a serial killer; a deadly sniper intent on murdering the poor. As Barlow races to identify the killer before they can strike again, he comes to realise that he’s involved in something far dangerous than he’d imagined. Forced to dodge bullets, fight robotic spider assassins and make deals with killers, Barlow goes up against the Met’s top brass in his determination to expose the truth. But one year later, split loyalties have enabled a cover up, and when the investigation leads to a gruesome torture shed with two corpses, it’s Tom Barlow who finds himself the prime suspect. Set in a dystopian England in the near future, Tom Barlow’s life is shattered as he tracks killers, protects a woman he’s in love with and re discovers the man he used to be. Two books cover the same 18 hectic days. In Dead Poor Barlow is forced to revisit those frenetic days from a year before as his suppressed report into the serial killings finally surfaces, and in Feel.it, he risks everything to get close to mega star, Roxanne Payne, a woman he’s obsessed with. In both books, Barlow finds his future unexpectedly entwined with that of Alexandria (Lex) de Montford, who is having her own problems with deceit, double cross and death. Tom discovers that she is both angel and demon. She discovers what a psychotic, blackmailing bastard he really is.

Deadpool free Dead Poor is introduced as the first of a pair of novels that take place during the same timeframe and involve many of the same characters This creates a significant problem in that events from the second as yet unpublished novel inform the actions of characters in this one which makes it difficult if not impossible for the reader to understand their motivations In particular Barlow has another major job going on at the same time as the serial killer investigation in which he has been assigned to protect a reality TV star with whom he is infatuated and who has a significant never fully explained relationship with another major character Dramatic events related to that assignment are clearly affecting him but they are not shown only hinted at in the pages of Dead Poor This makes for a frustrating read particularly the d nouement if that is the right word in this instance which without wishing to give too much away leaves the reader unsure who one of the killers is and why they did it if indeed they did. Deadpool bookmyshow All in all Dead Poor is an intelligent and exciting read with the Achilles heel of an unsatisfying conclusion Ian Wingrove Dead Poor is the story of private detective Tom Barlow s hunt for the individual s who are murdering the poor in a not too distant dystopian England It is a dark story with scenes of graphic violence but also one that is clever inventive and complexperhaps too complex in some respects. Trailer deadpool e wolverine One of the things I found most interesting about the book was the author s vision for how law enforcement and their tools and technology might change over a relatively short time For example Tom Barlow heads a film crew that is tasked with documenting police efforts to catch the individual s responsible for the killings But his crew is also composed of detectives who augment the efforts of the police assuring that the film has a happy ending In effect Barlow s group represents a combination of two current trends police reality TV and privatized security forces And as a result law enforcement in the novel gains a rather unsavory image where appearance political gain and commerce are important than truth or regulations designed to protect individual rights It is also a vision that seems likely than we might like But for me some of the cleverness of these ideas was obscured by two factors First the book was constantly shifting timeframes The story covers two periods over a year apart Days 1 to 15 and Days 430 to 432 While the titles of each section indicate the timeframe the book shifts between these periods many times 27 if I counted correctly It became tedious trying to keep track of the status of the investigation as you moved back and forth so frequently and there were times when I thought evidence was mentioned in the earlier timeframe after it had only been revealed later in the story but I am probably wrong about that And second when you step back and look at the individuals involved in the murders they are strange bedfellows indeed with highly dissimilar motives For me it made the story seem a bit implausible.
