Today I'm on the Blog Tour for the final book in the JT Ellington Series - A Sinner's Prayer #4 by M P Wright*. As ever its a fabulous action packed read as well as lovely to catch up again with characters I've grown to love.
When the past comes calling, you can run, but you can't hide
'Saying farewell to the dark side doesn’t mean the dark side wants rid of you. And I was about to be reminded of that fact.'
1970, St Pauls, Bristol. A new decade, and JT Ellington has stepped away from the private-eye game to scratch a living, respectable at last, as a school caretaker.
His nights are full of torment – guilt and ghosts that no prayers will banish. But it's not until the past comes calling in the unwelcome form of Superintendent Fletcher that JT's resolve is truly tested.
Fletcher has a job for JT – one that can’t be refused. A young man, Nikhil Suresh, has disappeared hours before his wedding; rumours abound and his family is distraught.
With blood money in his pocket, JT is plunged into a demi-monde of vice, violence and forbidden passion. An extraordinary, malevolent enemy is intent on destroying him. Now, seeking survival and redemption, JT must play as dirty and dangerous as those who want him dead.
My thoughts?
I simply loved the fourth and final book in the JT Ellington series. I first discovered him randomly in Heartman when I picked up a copy on Amazon (way back in November '14) and he's come a long way since then..
JT's living and working quietly (having thrown in the towel as private-eye) at a local school as a caretaker and looking after his six year old niece, Chloe. It's now the early 70s and discrimination and racism is still rife.
A face from the past in the form of Superintendent Fletcher asks him to investigate the case of a missing Asian man, who disappeared just before his arranged marriage. A young boy is found murdered and the two cases seem to be connected..
Who has it in for JT? And will he get out alive this time... A fast paced, edge-of-my-seat read which I devoured. I also loved catching up with feisty Loretta Harris, Aunt Pearl and Uncle Gabe and cousin Vic. There's even a glimpse of love and romance for JT (bring it on!)
A brilliant read which I highly recommend (I'm kind of sad this is the last we'll see of JT and the other characters I've grown to love).
*Thanks to Black & White Publishers for a copy of the book.
