Blog Tour: Book review, Mind Guerrilla by Martin Tracey

 Huge thanks to Zooloo's book tours for inviting me to take part in the Mind Guerrilla Tour. 

 Book Blurb

When a high-end escort is discovered murdered in her plush waterside apartment, so begins the hunt for a serial killer known as The Crucifier due to the unusual slaying and positioning of his victims.

In parallel there remains the need to locate a dangerous and elusive doomsday cult.
DCI William Chamberlain and DI Judd Stone have an acute thirst for justice on both accounts.
Stone is an ex-football hooligan turned cop. Riddled with guilt and anger, he is used to getting results – albeit somewhat unconventionally.
Chamberlain suffers from Multiple Sclerosis, but curiously, as his health deteriorates, his ability to perform acts of telekinesis increases. When faced with life or death, Chamberlain progresses from manipulating physical matter to controlling minds and sets in motion a dramatic chain of events. But why do things spiral out of control, placing an unknown high-profile target in danger?
Assistance comes from the most unlikely of sources but who is also working against the wheels of justice?
And just what is the connection between The Crucifier, the cult and the high-profile target?
With Spaghetti Western overtones, the chase from Liverpool to London and through both Birmingham UK and Alabama, finds both detectives having to confront their darkest demons in pursuit of the sweet taste of revenge.

My Thoughts

Mind Guerrilla is certainly a book that will stay with you, from its memorable cast of characters, to it's extremely detailed attention to detail, to it's supernatural element. Whilst a bit too much detail for me - I think it slowed the pace down a bit- Mind Guerrilla was a good read and that was largely down to the great characterisation. I felt that each character held their own and if I was to walk down a street in Birmingham i would be able to pick them out from the  crowd, so well did I come to know them by the end of the book.

The sense of Birmingham as a city really shone through and I feel the author really researched the historic elements of the novel. With various plot lines to follow, I occasionally wondered if the novel might benefit from cutting out a storyline  to keep it more compact. 

A good read from an author I will read more of.
