The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Declan Walsh series continues...

Sometimes the quietest villages have the loudest secrets…

Ten years ago, DCI Patrick Walsh found himself hunting The Red Reaper; a serial killer so cunning that every body found with his calling card was reluctantly classed as a suicide.

Never seen, never found, never caught.

Now, DI Declan Walsh, suspended and on injury leave following the harrowing events of HUNTER HUNTED, finds himself pulled back into this unsolved case of his late father, when a series of new bodies start to appear in his village; all seemingly suicides, and all with the same calling card.

With the Last Chance Saloon now disbanded and under review, it's up to Declan and his colleagues to take matters into their own hands, as they investigate a serial killer casethat takes them back to the fall of the Berlin Wall, and a cunning, brutal psychopath who was believed to be killed five years ago...

But who seems to be back, and has started again...

The fourth book in a series of critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling procedural crime thrillers, Whisper For The Reaper is perfect for fans of J.D Kirk, L.J Ross, Ian Rankin, Alex Smith, Rachel McLean, J M Dalgliesh and Ann Cleeves, among others.

Good balance

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2023

This fourth book in the DI Walsh series is the best so far. It has a good balance of mystery, suspense, humor and comrodpery to hold the readers interest throughout.

NEVER name different characters similarly. Meier. Muller. Marcos. Monroe. Seemingly, ALL of them with new or past identities and names. THREE Rolfes. ADD that every relationship existed on at LEAST two levels, with different names and identities. Friends were enemies. Enemies friends. Comrades opponents. Loyalties ALL OVER THE PLACE, with NONE secure. Wolf. Isle. Lisa. Borne. Many, many, many Germans. Murders that were suicides yet were murders. Coins with “tails” on both sides…

YET, terrific sorta book (which you constantly had to thumb back through to remind yourself which “M” was which). Serial killer(s), serial observers, their identities known (if three times changed). So, Declan was not in search of a killer, per se, he was just… in the way while trying to keep his “Ms” straight. Killings had stopped. Maybe one more. A Rolfe died here, a Meier there, without much comment or effect. Someone named Zimmerman died, killed himself. No idea who he was. Declan put his teen whiz-kid’s life in danger, losing custody. No real climaxes, tensions, drama… No real STORY. That, or too MUCH story. Spies, politics, governments, never really my thing. Love procedurals, but none in evidence, or too many.

Terrific writer who, here, kept painting himself into corners.

Binging this wickedly addictive series!

I started this series with Book 1, and have just completed Book 4. What a wild ride! Just like the earlier books, the fast-moving plot really kept me guessing. But it's the rich characters that have collectively grabbed me and kept me coming back for more-- brilliant and determined DI Declan, irascible and Glaswegian-to-the-core DCI Monroe, fearless DS Anjli, conflicted cyber whiz Billy, and unconventional pathologist Doctor Marcos. All are great company. Learning more about the Berlin Wall before and after its demise was another plus. Highly recommended!

Walsh and Team are all off, either convalescent, or slightly suspended. But Walsh, gets an opportunity to hunt the elusive Red Reaper, A killer that doesn't get his hand dirty, rather, he gives the victims options...kill yourself, or your loved ones will be killed. After new suicides spring up Walsh goes to the latest, allowed some space and gathering his team, the get on the hunt. But, finding the true identity of the Reaper does not prove easy. The German police are also hunting this killer, so, that does not make this hunt easy. A Whisper For The Reaper is an outstanding book, you will not be disappointed!

I really like the suspense in the DI Walsh books. I hate putting them down at the end of the day.
But, I would like to offer some free proof reading services to amazon. This book was particularly frustrating. It wasn't just the occasional grammatical error. Towards the end of the book there were a lot of repeating and omitting of words.

A gripping, book 4 in the series. If anything possibly the best but that's a matter of personal choice. It’s now onto book 5. I strongly recommend it to everyone who enjoys a superb crime story, and this is one of the best!!
