‘I was hooked from the start. The pace of the story was quick and kept my interest throughout. I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and would recommend it to anyone interested in a fast paced story of the police investigation required to solve a mystery.’

‘This is the first Jeff Temple mystery that's come my way, more's the pity - thoroughly enjoyable, no frills, no nonsense, just good old detective work in Modern Britain. Superb.’

‘Dying Wish will entertain fans of the genre. Temple himself is a decent sort of fellow, and we do care about him and his personal life, which is the acid test of any character driven novel. The narrative rattles on at a decent pace, and there is a very clever plot twist at the end - one which experienced crime fiction readers may well be able to see coming.’

‘This one kept me on the edge of my seat and was super interesting. The story was well written and kept you guessing all the way. There were a lot of times where I thought I had the mystery solved only to be proven wrong in the next couple of chapters. Jeff Temple was such a strong character. He was quick-witted, smart, interesting, and for lack of a better term, felt real.’

‘I give this book a solid 4 out of 5 stars and would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a good thriller.’

‘I can’t believe I haven’t come across this authors work before now and I am certainly looking forward to the fact that there are the first three in the series which I have yet to have the pleasure of reading. Many thanks to the author for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.’

‘With Dying Wish, James Raven has created a very chilling thriller. It's is a very exciting read and I was drawn into the story right away. A chilling and suspenseful book. If you did not read the previous instalments, you will most probably also want to read them now. Recommended.’

‘Dying Wish is an immersive story that captured and held my attention throughout. I couldn’t put the novel down. I read it in a day. The crimes were gruesome, yet I continued reading because I wanted to know the who, how, what, why, and when of the story. I really enjoyed the story and did not want it to end so quickly.’

‘The setting was key for this action-packed work of fiction. The characters and dialogue were real. Dying Wish is highly recommended.’

‘Disturbing…thought-provoking…engaging…I would recommend this book for people who enjoy a murder mystery.’
