Marked

Marked is the third novel in the Detective Callum Doyle series.Doyle actually feels like a whole different character in this book. He is so angry and going by the rules goes totally out of the window whilst working on his new case. He is determined to get justice for the parents of a murdered sixteen year old girl. That justice seems to come at a price though as the person behind the murder gets deep under Doyle's skin and threatens to lose him everything.The villain in this novel, I don't think I could have despised even more than I did. Not only did he get under Doyle's skin, he truly got under mine as well. So much so that I was really routing for Doyle to catch him out. Problem is though, he is one devious character and I was as infuriated as Doyle was at the injustice at times.This authors books are an absolute must read if your a a big crime fan that loves their books to be adrenaline fuelled. Every time I pick one up I am well and truly hooked. The story lines are gritty, dark and full of tension.Marked is a fast paced read that felt at times that I was going at full throttle and left me totally wind swept by the end. It's very much a story about gut instincts and staying true to what you believe. Another great novel in the series.

I have read a bit of the book. You have to really dive into this book to find it interesting. It’s alright good.

Well it just gets better and better with these books. This one is a little different from the previous two books as it concentrates more on a suspect than on a murder. The dismembered body of a young teenager Megan. After Doyle becomes involved in the investigation with his new partner Tommy, Doyle becomes obsessed with pinning the murder on a tattoo artist called Stanley Proust. Doyle had had dealings with him before again involving the murder of a young girl and Proust walked away from that one. There is also Lucas back on the scene pulling Doyle's strings and taking him further down the road to become a bad cop.In this book we see a darker side of Doyle, he doesn't play well with others. I have already read Cry Baby, so hope book 5 will be out soon. Certainly recommend without a doubt.Still love the humour in these books, here is a little quote."If there's a choice I'd stay alive. I can be a lot more persuasive when I have a pulse" Brilliant!

Come on Mr Jackson...you can do better than this! Can you write? Sure. This book...not so well. I thought of giving it two stars bit gave it 3 as it shows potential.You want us to believe in ...maybe even admire a main character who is sufficiently out of control of himself 1) to assault suspects in front of witnesses and 2) to continue threatening him (on several occasions) in front of police witnesses despite knowing IAD are watching you? Although he has some evidence that might support his suspicion he fails to pass it on to his partner who at least showed some signs of supporting him? Why? This is just plain thick. And annoying. And not very believable.

I liked David Jackson's first book but thought the second was disappointing; this is back on track. Unusual insomuch as not set around too much action but the irritating behaviour of the hero, Callum Doyle, with everyone around him actually makes for interesting interaction with his family, Paulson his career guide and the suspect. Jackson dips into the family side but doesn't let it overtake the story like some. The twist at the end was very good and I was left wondering how he would extricate himself. The actual ending made me think initially, was it plausible and I came to the conclusion in the world of crime writing it possibly was. Very good and look forward to his next book.

This is the 3rd book in the Doyle series, and it will help to read them in order because previous storylines are mentioned throughout the book.Doyle finds himself in trouble on all fronts is this latest instalment.

Another edge of your seat, can't put down book from David Jackson and his brilliant flawed character Cal Doyle. I have read the 3 in the series and will now reread them as one piece of work, as Cal is ostracised, tortured and cornered by his fellow cops, his family and some of the nastiest criminals on the block.The thing about David Jackson's writing is that you get right inside Cal's head. The genius cop who is restrained by the system and hampered by his passion.The story line is great, keeps you guessing and surprises til the end.Keep writing Mr. Jackson and everyone who reads these books - would suggest you read them in order, tell your friends, let's get this guy on the bestsellers list!

Loved the first 3 books about Detective Doyle . David Jackson an author to watch ...gonna be one of the great authors of crime fiction to add to the biggest names around . Recommend you read his books and dare to take more than 3 sittings per book. Riveting fresh story lines grisly teeth gritting gasp out loud chapters that are also laced with emotion and a fine edge of humour at times x BRILLIANT!!!😀

This was a real page turner, so glad I purchased it. I liked it well enough to get another in the same series.

This is the third book (hopefully, third of many) in the Callum Doyle series. I recommend all three, and I recommend them in order due to very minor spoilers, but this is the best one. I couldn't wait to read to the ending, loved the ending, and then wanted more, sad that it was over and I had to wait for the next book to come out. The characters are great, the plot intriguing and quite original, the action and suspense engaging, and the writing style is just right, not too choppy but no excessive detail. It has a bit of humor, something for everyone, well almost everyone. If you are looking for a good romance, don't bother with this excellent novel, just pick up some Harlequin trash, the usual crap you idiots read, but if you want a great thrill-ride, this book...let me say it again...is awesome! I would put it up there with the likes of Harlan Coben, Linwood Barclay, Lee Child, Robert Crais, Michael Prescott, and other fantastic authors that draw the reader in and do not let go.

Contrairement à ce que je craignais étant donné le prix(très intéressant) ce livre m'a emballé. Il est bien écrit, facile à lire. L'intrigue est bien menée et le personnage central, l'enquêteur, est attachant. J'ai également lu tous les autres livres de David Johnson publiés sur Amazon qui reprennent le même personnage. Ils m'ont tous plu et j'aimerais bien qu'il y ait une suite ! Je conseille vivement cet auteur
