Title: Departed
Author: Nick Stephenson
Review: A fast paced mystery thriller with Leopold
Blake as a brilliant consultant brought in by Scotland Yard to assist in some
gruesome murders in London. Blake is apparently an American and is accompanied
by a female NYPD Sgt and his personal bodyguard. While I found the story fast
paced and interesting I would have enjoyed it more if there had been a more
complete background provided for these three characters. Therefore I have rated
it at three stars. With a more complete background I would have rated it four stars
or even five stars.
I
picked the book up at kindlebuffet.com because it took place in London which is
one of my favorite cities.
I would
read other offerings by this author.
Thanks Frank

Synopsis: Playtime's over...
Expert criminology consultant Leopold Blake is
having yet another bad week. While tracking a psychopathic serial killer
through the streets of London, the reclusive investigator realizes with
chilling certainty that history is about to repeat itself - with devastating
consequences. Where Scotland Yard and MI5 have failed, Leopold must find a way
to hunt down and apprehend a ruthless maniac before he strikes again.
And the clock is ticking.
Now Blake and his team must face their greatest
challenge yet: an unseen force, intent on wreaking havoc throughout the city,
is hunting on its home turf - and Leopold is about to realize that the good guy
doesn't always win.

Information:
Nick Stephenson was born and raised in Cambridgeshire, England and will
now refer to himself in the first person. My approach to writing is to hit
hard, hit fast, and leave as few spelling errors as possible. I write
thrillers, suspense novels, and the occasional witty postcard, all of which are
designed to get your pulse pounding. Don’t let my headshot fool you – I’m
actually full colour, on most days.
My books are a mixture of mystery, action, and
humour. If you’re looking for a good place to start, take a look at my Leopold
Blake series of thrillers, available now at www.noorosha.com/books and out soon
on Amazon, Sony, Barnes & Noble, and the iTunes store.
