    A superb new series
  

*by G***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2020*

I am a huge fan of police procedurals and I love discovering new authors and new series.  Well 'Deadly Wishes' ticked all three boxes and then some.  'Deadly Wishes' is the first book in the Detective Zoe Finch series and what a story it is!  I absolutely, totally and utterly flipping well loved reading 'Deadly Wishes' but more about that in a bit.I took to Zoe Finch from the start and I actually felt as though she had become a friend of mine by the time I got to the end of the book.  When the story begins, Zoe is Acting Detective Inspector Finch and she wants to make a good impression on her bosses.  Zoe is one tough cookie but then she has had to be as life has hit her in the guts over the years.  Zoe is tough, compassionate, sassy, determined, tenacious, intuitive, intelligent,  hard working, a devoted mother to her son and occasionally she can be very stubborn.  Zoe is in charge of a small team and they all work well together and for the most part, they have each others' backs.  Zoe has a reputation for being able to crack tough cases and as the story starts she is still basking in the glory from a previous case.  Not that Zoe is a show off or anything- far from it.  If I had to give an opinion, I would say that Zoe is a bit embarrassed at all the attention and that everybody seems to know all about her.  Will Zoe successfully conclude her first investigation as an Acting Detective Inspector?  Well for the answers to that question and so much more you are just going to have to read the book for yourselves to find out as I am not going to tell you.Oh my flipping word, I was blown away by 'Deadly Wishes'.  I was completely under this book's spell from the moment I first picked this book up until the moment I read the last word on the very last page.  If I wasn't reading the book, I was thinking about the book.  If I had to put the book down then I would immediately look forward to being able to pick the book up again.  I took to Zoe that well and I found the storylines so intriguing that I just couldn't turn the pages fast enough.  I seemed to race through the book and I soon reached the end, which I had mixed feelings about.  Don't get me wrong I was pleased to finish because at least I knew how the investigation concluded but I didn't want to finish the book because it meant that I had to say goodbye to Zoe and her team.  I soon cheered up when I realised that the second book in the series is called 'Deadly Choices' and it is due to be released on 11th September 2020.  I can't flipping wait.'Deadly Wishes' is superbly written and as I indicated above, I was blown away by how fantastic the story was.  Rachel certainly got my attention from the start with the murder of a particularly obnoxious man.  The more I discovered about him, the more I disliked him and the less I was bothered about who killed him.  I needed to know why he had been killed and by whom but I certainly wasn't losing any sleep over the loss of such a 'delightful' (note the sarcasm).  Rachel drew me into the story from the start and I actually felt as though I was part of the investigating team myself.  'Deadly Wishes' was a tightly plotted and well written tale that had more twists and turns to it than you would find on a 'Snakes & Ladders' board.  Just when you thought that you had it figured out then the story would send you in a different direction entirely.  I was gripped by this story from start to finish and I was on the edge of my seat throughout.In short, I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Deadly Wishes' and I would definitely recommend this book to other readers.  I will certainly be reading more of Rachel's work in the future and I can't wait to read 'Deadly Choices'.  The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.

    Mediocre.
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 September 2020*

A pleasant read. Nothing to grab you. Hardly any likeable characters, didn't care what happened to any of them. Zoe wasn't very bright if she couldn't work out what Carl's role was. I'd worked it out from his first raised eyebrow!  I like a more sardonic humour, and more personal relationships when police are chasing baddies. I've read 127 books this year and this would not make first 50.

    Deadly Wishes
  

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 February 2021*

Deadly Wishes I bought this book as it was on offer, but also because I was intrigued by the storyline and I loved it so much I have now bought all the other books in the series and pre-ordered the ones which have not yet been released.This book is my favorite type of book, what I call an "easy read" and by that I mean that you get straight into the book and the story just flows. There is no trying to remember which character is which and trying to keep up with a complicated plot it just all reads so smoothly. A definite must read I can't recommend it enough.
