The Night is Deep (Liam Dempsey, #2) By Joe Hart
Likeable and realistic I did not realise this is part of a series and I will look out for books from this author 1503990877 I love Joe Hart s books and now I love the Liam Dempsey character He has that right from wrong quality that makes for a good read when the battle is between doing what is right and what you feel would be justified Liam Dempsey is called by a friend to help with the abduction of his wife who is being held for ransom But then the bodies start to turn up and these deaths seem to be linked to the wife s sister s suicide Can Liam help find the killer before his friend s wife is next As he digs deeper into this case things are not as they seem and Liam may just be next Mean while back at home his girlfriend and newly adopted son are missing him and his girlfriend has been accosted in the park while their son is playing with friends This only makes him want to solve the case and get home as quickly as possible I would like to thank the Publisher and Net Galley for the chance to read this ARC 1503990877 Liam Dempsey is no longer a detective After accidentally killing an innocent pregnant woman.
This second book about Liam Dempsey was a little brutal than the other one I mean the other one had Liam s brother being cut into pieces but this one was just so cruel and bloody in the killing LOL I have to wonder about authors minds when I read this kind of story Not that it ll stop me from reading them. This was about a young woman who was killed 16 years before but the killer just kept looking into it until the killer found out for sure that it had been murder and not suicide as the coroner called it and now the kidnapping of her sister Then the killer killed the 4 men responsible Two of the killings were killed in a really disgusting ways And two different killings were totally unnecessary as they had nothing to do with the girl dying 16 years ago There were twists and turns in this and I was surprised at who the killer turned out to be I did like Liam but he wasn t much of a hero He was always losing his gun or getting the hell beat out of him or run over by his own truck BUT he had a way of solving the puzzles that no one else did so there was that. As to the narration Eric G Dove was his usual awesome self Men women and emotions were nearly perfect 1503990877 I wish there was a book 3 1503990877 I felt like this was a little slow in the beginning but it was still incredibly hard to put down The last half third was super gripping and really nice tied the whole plot together The twist at the end was fantastic as well I really didn t see it coming at all. My only downfall was that in some places I felt like the story was too descriptive or than it needed to be meaning that I did skim over a few paragraphs because I felt like they were pretty unnecessary. I received a copy of this book via netgalley in exchange for an honest review 1503990877 abrknpoet reviews The Night is DeepThe Night is Deep is the second book in the Liam Dempsey thriller series by Joe Hart It follows the former homicide detective as he tries to cope with the trauma of his brother s murder and the accident that ended his career He has a new life as a police liaison a loving girlfriend and an adopted son but his past comes back to haunt him when he gets involved in a brutal case of kidnapping and murder A politician s wife is abducted and held for ransom but the kidnapper has a twisted agenda that goes beyond money Liam must use his skills and instincts to find the truth and stop the killer before it s too late.

Funny when I started reading this book I kept feeling as though these characters were very familiar That s when I had my aah ha moment I read the first book in the Liam Dempsey series The River is Dark I absolutely loved the first book in this installment and I m even blown away with this second part in the series. Police Consultant Liam Dempsey has come a long way since being enthralled in his brother s and sister s in law murders He has a beautiful girlfriend named Dani and they have adopted a child named Eric Life is definitely looking up for the ex homicide detective but as with anything the passion for police work grows extremely deep in Liam s soul. Even though he isn t technically a police detective any that detective aspect of his life is never too far behind He receives a call from an old college buddy who has since thrown his hat in the political arena finds himself in the middle of a horrible kidnapping He knows there isn t anyone else who can help him get his wife back and who is determined to do what is right and solve this case than Liam Dempsey. Liam is enjoying his newfound life with Dani and Eric and even though he loves detective work he s torn between leaving his family to take on another long case Problem is Owen did Liam a solid back in the day and he feels obligated to at least look into his case and see what he can shake loose Well when Liam begins barking up the murderer s tree the fallen leaves of hard truths and unbelievable circumstances come raining down on the very head that needs to stay clear and focused in order to solve this case All of what Liam believes in comes into question Everyone wants to know what happened to Valerie Farrow Owen s wife but nothing seems to be concrete that is until Liam continues to keep digging It would appear that the fates have a nasty way of throwing its weight around and poor Liam is always caught off guard trying to put the pieces back together again And trust me readers when you start to investigate the clues along with Liam what you re left with will most certainly shock you. The Sexy Nerd gives The Night is Deep five stars and counting This is a great series Although I have to say Hart puts Liam through some particular hell Sometimes I can t imagine how Liam lives to investigate another day The things his body goes through dealing with the sick and twisted is mind boggling but Liam is a tough guy and I love it Hart s writing is skillfully mastered and keeps the reader front and center throughout the entire story If you haven t started the series I d highly suggest you do But this book is a standalone so you ll be fine to read it out of order Please make sure you get this book and add to your to read shelf It s a goodie 1503990877 Liam Dempsey used to be a policeman but after accidently killing a woman and her child he gave up his career and now works as a police consultant His old university friend Owen now a politician has asked for his help in finding his missing wife Valerie Valerie is the love of Owen s life he wants her back and he wants Liam to find her Who has Valerie and what do they want Will Liam find her before it is too late or is there something else at play here I enjoyed this book the characters were strong he turned in his badge These days he s living with his girlfriend and their adopted son He also does some Private Investigations and is a Consultant for the Homicide Department. Liam gets a call from an old friend he hasn t seen or talked to in several years A budding politician he begs Liam to come help he was attacked and his wife has disappeared. The detective in charge of the investigation is not exactly gung ho on having a non cop thrust upon her but is willing to work with him as long as he doesn t interfere Of course the first thing Liam does is interfere A ransom has been demanded for the wife. The rescue attempt has failed and now it s not only a kidnapping Bodies are being mutilated and murdered and they all have one thing in common They all went to the same college including Liam s friend and his wife. This is a well written mystery Liam is a great character lots of layers to peel back to see the real man I also really enjoyed the female detective and her interaction with Liam at times contentious at other times humorous There were several suspects but then they all began dying off one by one I was totally surprised by the ending. Many thanks to the author Thomas Mercer NetGalley who provided a digital copy in exchange for an honest unbiased review 1503990877 A great second story of this series I know I m late to the party but I enjoyed it and the investigation was engaging and suspenseful especially the one on his own 4: There was only fade to black sex and the F Bomb was used 41 times, I thought Liam Dani and Eric were such a lovely little family and I felt really attached to their characters I also liked Perring s development throughout the book too: The Night is Deep is a highly recommended read for fans of thrillers mysteries and crime fiction It is a satisfying sequel that can also be enjoyed as a standalone novel.4.I look forward to seeing of this series.5 stars KU read 1503990877
