BLOG TOUR | Their Final Moments – Jane Adams

Hi everyone!

Today is my stop on the blog tour for Their Final Moments (Detective Mike Croft #3) by Jane Adams. Check out my review and let me know what you think.


DISCOVER A BRILLIANTLY GRIPPING CRIME THRILLER FROM A BEST-SELLING AUTHOR

Please note this was first published as “Fade to Grey” and “Final Frame.”

HE WANTS TO CAPTURE THEIR FINAL MOMENTS ON FILM SO HE CAN WATCH THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN

DECEMBER: Detective Mike Croft is in pursuit of a serial attacker whose victims are all young blonde women.

But forensics on the victims reveals an even more horrific scenario.

Many miles away, in Wiltshire, a young woman dies in a burning car.

In Norwich, an actress is found dead in her own home and a teenage boy runs away from a past he doesn’t know how to face.

Can DI Mike Croft work out what links these events?

Then a greater threat emerges.

JAKE BOWEN: filmmaker and serial murderer. There is no pattern to his victims. He doesn’t care who dies, so long as their final moments make good film, and Jake is very imaginative in deciding how his victims will die.

MIKE CROFT FACES A RACE AGAINST TIME TO STOP A KILLER. BUT THEN THE KILLER COMES FOR HIM.

THEIR FINAL MOMENTS: An epic and unputdownable crime thriller full of heart-stopping twists and turns.

Perfect for fans of Kimberley Chambers, Damien Boyd, Rachel Abbott, Patricia Gibney or Mark Billingham.

Review:

This is my third read by Jane Adams, and I am officially a fan. Her novels are full of twists and turns, and Their Final Moments does not disapoint.

I was on the edge of my seat as Mike Croft returns to find a ruthless serial killer. This kept me up late reading, and I kept thinking about it after I was finished. Jane Adams has created a strong cast of characters, and a really riveting plot.

I highly recommend checking out all of the books in The Detective Mike Croft series. If you like page turning thrillers, these are the books for you!

4/5☆


Why do I write?

Like most writers, it’s a kind of compulsion. The stories are there and I have to try and grab hold of them and pin them onto the page. Most of the time, I enjoy the process; sometimes, I’d rather be doing just about anything else, up to and including the ironing – and I hate ironing.

I started writing when my youngest child went to school. I was incredibly lucky and my first novel, The Greenway, was picked up by Macmillan in 1994 and published in 1995.

I currently write two series; Naomi Blake and Rina Martin. Rina was a character I’d had in mind for years before committing her to paper. An elderly, ex thespian who had played the part of a popular TV detective, she had retired to the seaside and bought a boarding house for other ex performers. Rina’s feisty, no nonsense character is, I suppose, based on the rather powerful and opinionated ladies I grew up surrounded by – mother, teachers in the all girls school I attended, aunts and pseudo aunts, all of whom had opinions about everything and made sure these were unstintingly shared.

Naomi Blake, on the other hand, was the brainchild of my late agent, Bob Tanner at International Scripts. ‘You should write a blind detective,’ he said ‘ and she needs a big, black guidedog, called Napoleon’.

I thought it was a daft idea, and told him so. I just couldn’t see how to do it. But, like a lot of seemingly daft ideas, this one wormed its was into my brain and I realised he was right. It could work and so, the Naomi Blake series came into being.

I have always written in other genres too, short stories in the SF, Fantasy and Gothic Horror genre, and am working on longer projects when time allows. I also teach Creative Writing and have had the great priviligde of being a Royal Literary Fund Fellow at three different universities.
