The Bloody, Bloody Banks: A Scottish Crime Thriller (DCI Lomond Crime Thrillers Book 3)

This was absolutely brilliant. It's the third book and we're now familiar with the team and the setup. It begins with an immediate impact with the discovery of parts of a body in Loch Lomond and without spoiling anything, not everything is as it seems with tbe body. Also a strange scoreline is found referring to the Taxman versus Police Scotland. With the discovery of another body and an updated scoreline, the team really have their work cut out for them.I raced through this. The story was too good to try to put down, and we also have some extra events happening with Ross seconded to the OC unit and Donna being the focus of a professional standards investigation following events in a previous book. The team have to work with another team, headed by an ex of John's, so there are further obstacles to overcome. This has everything you want in a book. A strong storyline, great and plausible characters, and several twists to keep you hooked and fooled. The only downside was that I read it too fast. The next book can't come soon enough.

Good around story well writtenHow true is the story somewhat unlikely that things in the book could happen especially the corruption of police officers

Another great thriller with John Lomond and his team in Glasgow trying to solve murder after murder. I feel like I know all these detectives personally. Another great read.

Another book from Andrew Raymond which, once started, is almost impossible to put down. A brilliant read with John Lomond and his team at their best.

This was yet another amazing book from Andrew Raymond. I found it hard to put down and as usual this book was fast paced with such very believable, everyday ordinary, characters you really could imagine meeting in Tesco! The plot was twisted and convoluted and didn’t fully let you see it until the end. There are a few sub-plots which added to the overall complex story line and made all the characters just very human. Great read, great story, great characters, what more could you need on a wet summers day!

What a great book this was ,for some reason this story just had you hooked from the get go . The twist and turns kept you on your toes can't wait for The next one

A real gripping storyline. Lots of twists and plenty of suspects. DCI Lomond is certainly a force to be reckoned with, not one to be put down and doesn't hold back on his opinions. Loved this series.

Another brilliant book in this series

As captivating as this story was (and the previous two stories in this series), it’s really hard for me to read about a main character being brutally victimized. Details and descriptions of assaults never used to bother me, but they do now. Or perhaps the descriptive rhetoric is more intense. Whatever the reason, I’ll take a deep breath and simply carry on, and I will continue to read this series because it’s so compelling.And thanks to the author for making this story available on KU. If it hadn’t been there, I wouldn’t have read it.

I was captured when I read the first of Andrew Raymon’s DCI Lomand’s series. This third one has me chomping at the bit for more! The bloody bloody banks had me from the beginning and I just HAD to keep reading til there was no more. If you li,e excitement, twists and turns and being turned one way and then the next, uou are going to love this book.

Andrew Raymond has me as a fan. I have read all his books featuring DCI Lomond. I enjoyed all 3. Looking forward to the next in the series. You don't have to read the other two to enjoy this one, you can enjoy them alone or all three.

I've really come to like these characters and how they grow and evolve from one story to the next. The storyline was very good and I would definitely recommend this series. Looking forward to the next installment.

This book was more the quality of the first in the series. Terrific plot full of twists and the characters continue to be developed
