A Righteous Kill
By Kerrigan Byrne
⭐️⭐️⭐️

A prolific serial killer is crucifying and ‘baptizing’ the working girls of Portland, and FBI Special Agent Luca Ramirez is locked in a desperate race to prevent the next casualty. The game changes when the latest victim is pulled out of the Willamette River alive, and Luca knows this witness may be his key to breaking the case. When the fanatical killer threatens her life a second time, Luca is assigned to protect the most unique and captivating woman he’s ever met by going undercover as her lover. He finds himself locked in a relentless game of cat and mouse with an elusive and violent psychopath, while battling his temptation for the alluring woman he’s charged to protect with his life. As the fatalities continue to mount, so does the intensity of his desire for a woman who should be forbidden, but is determined to dial up the heat.

It wasn’t bad but it didn’t knock me off my feet. It was ok. I thought it was weak in places and for some reason the sexual tension just for a bit annoying. There were some weak point and if you’re going to research that much then at least do it all over the book and note that Manchester United would never play Ireland that kinda annoyed me more than it should have. There were some good points too the killer was interesting as well as most of the characters so yes it got a 2.5/3 ⭐️ also I noticed it was supposed to have a sequel yet nothing is written yet!

DCI Erika Foster has just transferred to the Lewisham Row Station in London from Manchester. As soon as she is on the job, she has a case. A socialite is found frozen in the ice in the park. No one knows what happened or where she was prior to her death, but DCI Foster is determined to get to the bottom of the case. When another woman is found dead via the same means, the pressure increases to find the killer. Catching flack from her superiors on her methods of investigations, puts delays in finding the culprit. Will DCI Foster be able to solve the case? Does she have too much going on in her personal life to focus the way she should? Will she fall victim to the killer before she is able to find him?

I read this book as part of a buddy read. It has been on my TBR for a while and I was very interested to read it. For the most part I enjoyed the book, but it wasn't the first thing I grabbed. I got through it and the ending helped that along. I had no clue who the killer was and that helped to keep my interest. In my opinion DCI Foster was the kind of woman we all strive to be like, but at times it seemed like she tried to hard. Maybe that had to do with the what she had going on in her personal life. I would like to read the next book in the series to see if the character is in that same mindset or if after some time she is more focused on her job. This is also the first book I have read by Robert Bryndza and I look forward to more books from this author.

As we haven't got event reviews on here yet, I thought I'd post a quick review of where I was last night: the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience.

Other than there being an orchestra and a video screen showing clips, I had no idea what to expect but it was actually very well done. As well as playing music to clips from the series, they also had a lot of physical effects that really added to the experience. The orchestra itself were fantastic, apart from the key musicians the rest of the orchestra and the choir were all from the local area and they timed the music perfectly with the clips they were showing, it was impressively done. Ramin Djawadi was hosting & conducting the show, but it wasn't until he said so that we realised he was the actual composer for the show, and this just made the experience even better. They played their way through music from all 7 seasons, the only drawback being that how much of the music do you remember apart from the title theme?

Still it was a different experience than I was used to, and I'm glad I went. I did get discounted tickets through work, I'm not entirely sure I would've liked to pay full price at £60+ a ticket. I'm also not entirely sure of the venue. They played in the Manchester Arena which is pretty big and although it's great for the physical effects, I'm not too sure if it's the best place to really appreciate the music. I'd be interested to see it again in a smaller venue built for orchestras and unamplified sound, to see the difference.
I'd give it an 8/10.
