Ashes to ashes. It’s been five years since the Looking Glass killer terrorized the streets of Ash Park, leaving a trail of dissected victims in his wake. Five years since the Looking Glass killer kidnapped Hannah Montgomery, a woman Detective Petrosky had sworn to protect–a woman who looked just like his murdered daughter. Five years of guilt-ridden nights Petrosky spent wishing he could find … find the balls to put a bullet in his brain. But when a call comes in from the police department in Hannah Montgomery’s hometown, Petrosky must re-evaluate all he knows to be true. Could the killing of Hannah Montgomery’s father be connected to the Looking Glass case?What he finds is the most shocking revelation of his career, one that tangles past and present in an inescapable web of deceit. For the Looking Glass killer isn’t the only sadistic butcher he needs to find–the man who raped and burned his daughter alive is still out there, taunting him with the bodies of other victims. And the cases are too closely connected to tease apart. Now Petrosky must holster his grief to track the man who destroyed the only good thing he’s ever done. And when Petrosky goes, he’s taking that bastard with him.

Redemption, the fifth novel in the Ash Park series by Meghan O’Flynn continues the twists and turns of the previous books. It’s not necessary to have read the books that have come beforehand however as the author briefly explains what has happened. Despite being the fifth book, none of the suspense has been lost. It’s equally as thrilling as the first book. Maybe even more so as one of the characters finally achieves his redemption.

Four Stars
This series is so depressing and creepy. I get chills reading every book. In this book we pick up with Shannon trying to convince Petrosky to move to Atlanta with them. Ash Park is an awful place to live. The murders and finding murders is all you know about this town. I would’ve left after the first murder. The author pulls on your emotions so well through all these Ash Park books. You cry for the, and want to throw your find. I don’t know whether to be creeped out or impressed with the author imagination. The amount of details the author bring out in this story. Every chapter was an involvement on the last. I recommend you start this story at book one and you will get the same impression. The characters are well written. The chapters were quick and unforgettable. I love books that take me to the location the author envisioned while writing the story.

The books in this series are emotional, dark, twisted, and will get in your head, and this one is just like that as well. This book is so exceptionally well written that it stayed with me long after I put it down. I thought I knew what was going to happen and I find out that I was completely wrong and then I was thrust into another twist. This book had me completely captivated throughout the entire read. This story is not for the weak at heart, because it takes you into an intense, dark and twisted world. I suggest you read these books in order to have more background and it will enhance your reading experience. I also think that you won’t want to miss any of the stories in this series because they are all exceptional reads. I highly recommend this book you won’t want to miss out.
Redemption by Meghan O’Flynn An Ash Park Novel Book 5
5-Star Novel
Out of all of the Ash Park Novels this one by far is my favorite. Hannah Montgomery disappeared in the first book after escaping death from the Looking Glass Killer. She is discovered by Detective Petrosky and Detective Scott. She shares that she may have info on the person who killed Petrosky’s daughter so instead of hauling her in for questioning he provided her a safe place to stay.
I loved Hannah being back in this novel. I really liked her character in the first book. The author never ceases to amaze me with the detail in her books. I also like that Petrosky seemed to be remade into a better man with this novel. This novel was also an emotional one but very enjoyable. I thought I had it figured out toward the end but there was a change I did not foresee.

4 Stars!!!!
I must say that even though it isn’t my go to genre I was still as impressed with this book as I was with the first. I found that the author has a unique way of writing that the books just flow one right after the other. There is a constant that brings each book together. I was as hooked from page one of this book five as I was from book one.
This book really brings things full circle as Petrosky really has to battle his inner demons and work his way through the case. I really felt my heart strings tugging for him. I like how the author was able to make it so that you had bated breath to see how things would turn out. Petrosky really has his redemption in this final book. I really would like to read more from this author in the future and even though it isn’t my go to genre I will be reading this series again as I am sure that as with most you tend to find details and things that you missed the first time.

Redemption, the fifth book in the Ash Park series and the fifth book that I could not put down! Each story really has gone from strength to strength. The author has truly done an amazing job keeping the excellent level of writing the same over the series; the plot has been exciting, gritty, and dark and has kept my attention throughout. She builds tension like no other author I have read before and throws in some fantastic and much unexpected twists! Just when you think you know what’s going to happen along comes one of those very twists! I would highly recommend reading the books in order but for absolute definite book 4 should be read before this one.
This has been an amazing series, definitely not for the faint-hearted. It is full of amazing characters, dark, gritty moments and above all absolutely flawless writing. I really cannot recommend Redemption and the Ash Park series enough!
Redemption (Ash Park #5)

Rated 4 stars
Ed Petrosky is a crochety old detective, who has been imagining his last days for a while now. He struggles mentally and physically to make it through every day. After losing his daughter and partner he is planning on seeing them again soon. Can his new partner and a youngster from Vermont make him whole again? What about Shannon and the kids? He can’t shut everyone out.
Finally….Finally someone who doesn’t take Petroskys crap!! I love this lady/Petrosky’s new partner already! She is quick, smart and has an aura or some might call an attitude. I was worried about Petrosky. He has had some horrible thoughts these last few books. They were becoming more prominent. Hopefully this *new* partner can “shake him out of his funk”….as Shannon would say.
The murder of Petrosky’s daughter Julie has haunted him through all the series. He was never able to find out who killed her. Thinking about her has led him down dark paths thinking he failed her. Will he finally get his redemption?
This is a good book but not my favorite of the series. There was too much inner dialogue or demons to contend with. The story was solid and a fitting ending for the series. It I miss the characters that make me smile while reading all the sick and twisted scenes. They kind of balanced out the darkness.

5 out of 5 stars
The story Redemption: An Ash Park Novel (Volume 5) by Meghan O’Flynn is a book that I truly loved reading. It has an atmosphere of suspense that had me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading it. The book had me wondering what was going to happen next and where the leads/clues were all leading to. It is a story that is emotional, and my emotions went up and down like a rollercoaster. Intense, gripping, thrilling, and dark this is a story that grabbed me from the very beginning and I couldn’t put it down until I had read the final chapter. This is a story that has Detective Petrosky, after getting a call from a police department, re-evaluating two cases that have and continue to haunt him. What he is learning has him wondering and searching for the truth while sorting out the lies. Detective Petrosky has a heavy heart as he believes that he has failed everyone he has ever loved. He soon finds himself dealing with new revelations and other victims. Will Detective Petrosky find a connection between the killings? One of those cases is the murder of his daughter. Will Petrosky find her killer and just how far is he willing to go to make that happen? Read this story to find out. This is a book and series that I have loved since reading the first story. I love the way that the investigation and theories are detailed, and I always felt like I was trying to put together a puzzle to find out the truth. I found myself thinking about this story even after I had finished reading it. It is wonderfully written with amazing characters.
The Ash Park series continues with a bang and this latest installment certainly doesn’t disappoint. This gritty, action packed thriller left me breathless. O’Flynn continues to impress me with her writing style and innate ability to weave such a dynamic tale that keeps me guessing until the very end. What an absolutely amazing ride – I’m still speechless.
Redemption by Meghan O’Flynn is the fifth book in her Ash Park series. As gripping and intense as the others this book is a must read.
Detective Petrosky is haunted my memories of his daughter. He is haunted by memories of a killer and he is haunted be memories of another young woman. One who reminds him of his daughter.
He is so haunted by everything in his past that he wished he could just end it all. Until he receives a phone call – the one that could change everything.
Detective Petrosky is forced to put his grief on hold to throw himself back into a fight he thought long over. The question is, who will be the victor.
This series is such a strong series. Each book has you hooked and this one was no different. The story takes you on a fast paced and intense journey, one that you will never be sure as to what the outcome will be. It will have you not wanting to put the book down until it is over. Meghan O’Flynn has done it again and produced a book that is so easy to read. Definitely worth recommending!
Redemption: An Ash Park Novel by Meghan O’Flynn is one not to be missed. It totally took me by surprise. Nope I totally did not see that coming. Never in a million years did I suspect that. Meghan has done an exceptionally fantastic job on this series and Redemption rounded everything off nicely. Except I am still pouting/heartbroken over the loss from the last book. I am not going to mention anything about the story because you need to find out for yourself but let me tell you there were a few heart attacks, a few choice words, a lot of emotional turmoil, unbelieving that it was happening and that was just from me. Imagine how the characters felt and what they were going through. Meghan’s writing is effortless and she makes you feel as though you are going through everything the characters are going through and she is the queen of plots, twists and turns, roller coaster rides and so much more. Ash Park series is not for the faint of heart, it is one who loves thrills and chills, murder and mayhem. I swear this series should be made into movies.
Redemption is the conclusion of Meghan O’Flynn’s Ash Park series (there will be another book but she calls it Prequel Novella so …) Oh my goodness, what a closing it is … all those questions we have had in our hear, the pain Detective Petrosky has felt, the guilt that has been drowning him, the losses he has suffered … the puzzle will be put together and revealed and you will be left stunned …
You MUST read all the books leading up to this show down, you need to know the history, the people involved and their stories, you need to have lived with Detective Petrosky … (yeah, someone could say that you do not need to but do yourself a favour, don’t go off half cocked!) ALL the previous books lead up to this one! I promise you, you will be shocked, you will be wrecked, AND you have no idea how it all will end, UNTIL you get to the end (unless you are some sort of genius and mind reader and … not me …)
I think this is the best writing I have seen from the writer so far, she has gotten better with every single story in the series – she has dug so deep into the puzzle that she is breathing it, with every single word she has put down on the paper … You are guaranteed a fantastic read and you will not be able to wait for Jilted (the prequel novella), I wonder where the writer will be taking us …
This is the fifth book in this series and I loved it just as much as the previous books. My favorite part of this series is the character Petrosky. He is a character that I would love to hate and he really makes the story flow into what this series is. In this book, he fights not only his own demons with his daughter but also a cold case that haunts him. Again, this author had me sitting on the edge of my seat just wanting to see what would happen next. Fast paced, page turner, a must read!
5 Stars
Redemption is the fifth book in the brilliant Ash Park Series by Meghan O’Flynn. This series just goes from strength to strength, each book delivering an intense, gripping, and polished read. As I have said numerous times now, I am so impressed with Ms. O’Flynn’s ability to spin an incredibly clever thriller- her books just get better and better as the series evolves. The amount of tension, suspense, shocks, and brilliant twists, surprises, and puzzling situations that she infuses into each story really makes me sit up and take notice- always unpredictable right up till the end- delivering heart pounding, stomach clenching, and mind-blowing reading. I read the instalments in fairly quick succession because I didn’t want to forget any of the details- so as each story unfolded, I was held in its grip, anxiously holding my breath, glued to the pages and clamouring to find out what happens….. and I’ve loved every single breathtaking moment.
I suppose that this could be read as a standalone if you really wanted to- but, I strongly recommend reading the entire series (or at the very least books #1 and #4) before starting this one and I will explain- this story takes place 6 months after the events of the previous book and there were pertinent, tragic developments that set the tone and mood of this book and impacts on one of the major characters mindset, in a huge way. The author also takes us full circle, taking us back to where this journey began by revisiting events and storyline from book #1- so I feel that having all that information is also important because it gives you a greater perspective of events, motivations, and insight into the recurring cast of characters, backstory, and other pertinent information. All of which will enhance your overall reading experience of this book (and series as a whole)!
Detective Edward Petrosky is a broken man. He was already heavily burdened by tragedy and pain from a traumatizing incident 10 years earlier, where his young daughter was brutally raped and murdered. Then the devastating events in the last book (#4) only compounded his feelings and self-loathing, as well as destroying the last remnants of his shattered soul- intensifying his guilt and self-recrimination. He’s in a major funk, down so deep he can’t see any light, feeling like he’s failed all the people he loved. But Ms. O’Flynn will push him to the limits, maybe even going so far as pushing him over the edge. He is thrown into a complex and multi-faceted investigation where the ghosts of the past come back into play. He’s thrust into the most intense situation to date! I can’t say too much more without giving away spoilers but suffice to say I gnawed off all my fingernails as I accompanied him through this shocking, thrilling and complicated story.
I really, really, really, really hope that this isn’t the last we’ll see of the Ash Park Series (hint, hint, Ms. O’Flynn )
Incredible!
Thank you, Ms. O’Flynn!!!
