Blood Sport (Serial Investigations Book 5) Kindle Edition
A locked room with no escape.
Serial Investigations London is officially closed for business – with private detectives Will and Ram still not talking to one another after an explosive argument. Even when a copycat killer springs up, seemingly targeting only their own cases, they can’t see eye to eye.
Little wonder, given that they both have something more important on their minds. Someone knows about San Francisco – about the man who died on a rooftop at their feet. Who has discovered their deepest secret? And what will they do to keep it buried?
That’s when another mystery piles up on top of the rest: a traditional trope that every seasoned detective must face, the locked room. But this one has a deadly twist, and if they don’t come to terms with their differences and work together, one of them might not live to regret it.
Will and Ram face the most pressing and personal danger yet – but the question is, who’s behind it? And will they realise they’ve been set against one another before it’s too late? Or can they admit their love for one another and use it to become stronger than ever?
If you’re a fan of extreme slow-burn friends to lovers romance, high-stakes drama mystery thrillers, or sharply witty gay men, you’ll love Serial Investigations. The story continues with Blood Sport, a nail-biting series of twists and turns that will have you questioning how they’ll ever survive.

About the author

My name is Rhiannon D'Averc, and I'm an author and ghostwriter based in the UK. To date, I've had over 100 books published. I live in Kent with my husband and son and also keep myself busy as the Editor in Chief of London Runway, an indie fashion magazine.
Serial Investigations follows a pair of private detectives, best friends and sharp minds harbouring a dark secret that is slowly destroying each of them from the inside. It's an extreme slow-burn romance with serial killings, references to real crimes, and the city of London as a central location.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2020Be very forewarned in this story, there are some triggers. The murders alone are gruesome and told in detail, but even though Ram has been working on recovering from alcoholism, it’s never truly over and Will’s anorexia has pushed him to almost death. So if those are a trigger for you, please be aware. It’s not for the faint of heart and at times gets graphic.
I’m hoping there’s going to be another one after this. There seems to be some loose ends that need filling. This I think, was the hardest book of them all and that’s saying a lot. I thought the last book was bad but whoo. While Ram has been working hard to stay sober, things are triggering him, and thank goodness for his sponsor or who knows where he’d be. Possibly dead of in the hospital again. But the stuff that is triggering him is Will and the fact that Will may have gotten on with his life without Ram. And with the email he got and things of his disappearing, and the closed off looks he gets every time he tries to talk to Will, he figures Will has moved on. But none so evident as when Will gets fed up with every single thing he thinks Ram is accusing him of or throwing at him and he packs a bag and leaves. And Ram thinks it’s going to be for good, because he wants no part of the Investigations either. But what neither of them realize, is the mastermind is messing with them like never before. And instead of sitting and really talking, they are avoiding each other like usual and avoiding topics and just instead getting mad and shooting off at each other. And now the mastermind has won on so many levels. Not only has he succeeded in manipulating copycat killers, he’s broken up Ram and Will. And Will is pushing his luck too far with not acknowledging his issue with food. When the mastermind kidnaps them, it may be all over for Will. And Ram as well.
With the way book 4 was going, I didn’t know what I wanted to do with Will. I wanted to shake him or something. The way he was acting. And in this one, it’s not much better. Mostly because his body is shutting down and he’s not taking it well. His body is reacting causing him to react. But when he finally has some clear thinking, he realizes that something isn’t right. And can’t believe Ram would really betray him the way he thinks. But his digging has led to something far more dangerous than he could think of and because of it, he may not walk out alive. What I hate is that the mastermind got to them the way he did. Because of it, neither Ram nor Will had gotten what was happening to them and what they were doing to themselves until it was too late. And it broke my heart. When Will tried to do something so simple and couldn’t, it was a clue that he had let things go too far, but he needed help. Therapy, something. But he couldn’t let go to do so. And my heart ached for him. He really wanted to just be with Ram and run their investigations, but so much has happened and he doesn’t know how to get them back to them. And the mastermind has more connections than they are aware of so I’m wondering if there’s another story where he’s going to start something again. Because I have a feeling he’s not done with Ram and Will.
It’s been a great but very hard story. I mean very hard. The emotional roller coaster with these two. The secrets that have been literally killing them, to the mastermind who is bent on destroying them. Just because he likes a game. It’s been a good mystery, a good thriller and I really do hope there will be another. These two work well together. And with them being sober and eating and mentally getting better, I’m ready to see if it will impact their work for the better.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2023This one was a lot better than the other stories. I really got into this one. I'm looking forward to more of the series.
I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion
- Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2024I'm about halfway through the Serial Investigation series and I am hooked. The characters are complicated and compelling and sympathetic as they struggle to exorcise their demons. The mysteries are always imaginative, often brutal, but always interesting.
The mystery for me is why such a talented author and such an entertaining series has not scored hundreds of positive reviews. I read authors with tons of five stars whose writing and storytelling abilities can't compare with Rhiannon D'Averc's. Here's hoping she finds the far wider audience that she deserves.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2020Will and Ram face their biggest obstacles ever and it’s not just themselves. On the verge of figuring out how badly they have been played, the puppet master steps from behind the curtain to finish off the men he calls worth adversaries.
My thoughts on this book (and series) are very mixed. The characters are totally memorable, annoying as heck, really dumb for smart guys, inept at communicating, and just for Ram, you are effin beautiful but you need to work on you “I didn’t do it face”.
At some point I will reread these books and probably do so with a different point of view. The author wrote a good series. She can be proud of it.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2020finally.. they finally got it together.. they finally got things going and figured out.. haha i liked this a lot.. it was sexy and fun.. it was interesting and it was annoying while being exciting haha.. i liked this series.
