A killer on the loose. A city cowed by fear. Who can stop the slaughter?London is reeling from a spate of sickening murders, carried out by a serial killer of whom the police know nothing.

The forensic psychologists’ profile sheds no light oas to the identity of the killer. As the … no light oas to the identity of the killer.

How can she find a killer who seems as intangible as a ghost and outwits the police at every turn? How can she prevent the young women of the city from falling into the maniac’s clutches and being subjected to his brutal, ritualized bloodbaths?
And what does she need to do to persuade her former colleague, Harry Hawkins, to overcome his own despair, join the investigation and help her find the killer… before he commits one last, shocking atrocity?

Can ‘H’ stop this depraved killer butchering women at will…?
I love a dark, gritty crime story, especially set in London – my birthplace – and the Robson brothers have created a fantastic old school detective in ‘H’ who always hits the spot. If, like me, you are a fan of ‘The Sweeney’ or similar stories, you’ll love this tense, brutal thriller. Full of non-stop action and suspense, this is definitely not for the faint of heart or those who object to foul-mouthed characters. My kind of novel!
Way past evil #5 – Garry and Rob have done it again! We have all the old, living characters from the other books. H is a PI now, with Ronnie and John, and playing a new role for him, “good cop”. Ames is trying to bring H back to help with a copycat crime, which he doesn’t want to do at all.
The storylines are interesting; the crimes are the unusual bad, horrifying in some cases and definitely earns the title; and the past comes full blast to haunt H’s present. There’s a lot of darkness in this book, which sort of makes some of the earlier books mild in comparison, but nothing new for this genre; we’ve seen them before but now it’s the Hawkins’ characters that are targeted.
Sorry, as much as I want to talk about this fast paced, action packed (yep, still happening) twisting story, I’m not doing a book report; someone else will ruin the story for you, not me – you should have the right to enjoy an unknown adventure into H’s world. God love em.
This is a good addition to H’s series and I hoping the next one is nearing completion since the ending opens a whole new can of worries – no, not a cliffhanger, just a three-word statement made. Who needs drugs when there are books like London Large in which to get lost. I contacted the authors to review their books, how serendipitous that was. 5*
London Large, Blood on the Streets #1 – A well written, action filled, suspense novel set in present day London. The multiple battles of old school vs. new police, Russian and Albanian mafias, and the elites of government. The pace is fast and the reader is intrigued by what is on the pages. I couldn’t put the book down. I contacted the authors to review their books after reading Tipping Point, the intro of the old school raising of several of the major characters. Tipping Point should be read first, if possible. 5*
London Large, Bound by Blood #2 – A well written, action filled, suspense novel set, in present day London, that picks up from Blood on the Streets a few months later with the same characters plus. The prime focus is still the continuing battle against the Albanian mafia. I couldn’t put this book down any more than I did the first book. I contacted the authors to review their books after reading Tipping Point, the intro the old school raising of several of the major characters. Tipping Point should be read first, if possible. 5*
London Large, Bloody Liberties #3- Blood and thunder, to borrow a British phrase. A well written, action packed, suspense filled novel that grabs the reader by the throat and doesn’t let go until the end. Then you think about what you’ve read. I couldn’t put the book down; I was immersed in the horror that is so possible today. Good old fashion soldiering, new technology and human perseverance; the combination making a great read. The twisting plot was well thought out and believable; the dialog realistic; and the technology spot on. If you haven’t read the prequel and the first two books, you need to do so. Liberties can be read without them, but they enhance the story and you understand the viewpoints of the characters better. 5*
London Large, American Lockdown #4 – Absolutely the best of this good series. Fast paced; action packed; suspense filled; evil and deadly. It’s even harder to put this book down, the others were difficult to stop reading, but this one makes the others look like child’s play. Every character is well developed and we have the gang from previous books. The plot is a roller coaster ride of horror, hate, revenge, anger and love. Full of emotions: simmering to full blown; you name it, it’s covered. How much can H take? I wonder what the next book will be since it will be difficult to top this one, but I’m sure the Robson Brothers can handle it. This is a 10 star book! 5*
London Large, Tipping Point, Prequel- Must read Tipping Point first before LL Blood on the Streets. The introduction of the old school raising of several of the major characters of the London Large series. This intro clarify any confusion the reader may experience in LL, Blood on the Streets. 5*
I was given an ARC copy of this book by the author. Oh wow! What a tremendous book. With a mix of the BAU and SVU. The bad guys are kicking the cops backsides. They simply can’t get a good angle on the serial killer. This book can’t be put down. I stayed up until 2am trying to find a stopping place. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a crime story, suspense and/or thrillers.
