Killer’s Crew by Wendy H Jones

August 23, 2017 by Mark Anderson Smith Leave a Comment

Just how many ways can one kill their boss? Wendy H Jones makes no secret of her fictional detective’s desire to find ever more gruesome ways to do away with her Chief Inspector.

Killer’s Crew is the fifth book in the DI Shona McKenzie Mysteries series and the first book I’ve read in the series. I really should have read book one first, but as the sixth book in the series was about to be released (and is now available) and I’m going to be sharing a stage with Wendy at Cumbernauld Library in September, I was keen to get caught up in the story.

Turns out DI Shona McKenzie is as tough as they come, taking no cheek from anyone, but enjoying a fair bit of banter with her team.

Killer’s Crew finds her dealing with the discovery of a corpse found hanging from a ship in Dundee while filming is taking place for a movie. The cast provide ample scope for enquiries until one by one, the body count starts to rise…

As if a suspected serial killer isn’t bad enough, Shona also has to deal with the local Russian Mafia, dastardly solicitors and the boss that she’s secretly planning to dump in the Tay river.

My greatest frustration with all crime fiction is that I never manage to work out who done it! Killer’s Crew was no exception, I was reeling at the end trying to work out what I’d missed.

If you like snappy dialogue, gruesome murders and some tongue-in-cheek humour then I recommend Killer’s Crew.

You can buy all of Wendy’s books direct at her website or from Amazon:

If you’d like to meet Wendy in person, book your free ticket to Murder, Mystery and More on 16th September at Culture NL’s website.

Finally, if like DI Shona McKenzie you occasionally fantasize about killing your boss, you may want to check out Wendy H Jones’ free ebook: DI Shona McKenzie’s Guide to Killing Your Boss

All good clean fun, but remember, don’t try this in the office…

Cumbernauld Library meet the author

I’ve added an Events page to the website to have one place to promote upcoming events and list any media from previous events. You can just click on the Events option from the above menu.

The big news is of course that Wendy H Jones and Caroline Johnston will be joining me at Cumbernauld Library on 16th September 2017 from 2 till 4 pm for a Meet The Author event. We’re titling the event: Murder, Mystery and More… and it looks to be a fun afternoon.

We’ll have readings from our latest novels: the latest in Wendy’s Crime series – Killer’s Crypt; Caroline’s young adult novel – What If?; and my Christian thriller – Fallen Warriors.

Also, I’ve added links on the Events page to radio interviews I’ve done in recent years along with recordings when I’ve been teaching at my local church.

    Back in December 2020/January 2021 I wondered if the contracting and job markets in the UK would continue to be dead through till the summer. It seemed possible that I might have to go six months without working and so to put a plan in place to make constructive use of the time seemed sensible. […]Read More »

    It might be that weekly posts are all I can manage until the first draft of Fallen Warriors Season Two is complete. I met my target of 10,000 words today and did manage to hit 2,000 words each day this week. That feels good. An accomplishment. I haven’t managed much else, publishing wise. I kept […]Read More »

    I wrote last week that I was setting a new target to write 5,000 words a day. Why do I do this to myself? The results are in. I think I managed a thousand words one day that first half week, then I’ve managed 4,790 this week. That’s not even a fifth of what I’d […]Read More »
