Dark Game (Detective Kelly Porter Book 1)

Product Information

It’s so subjective, you are talking about somebody reading your words and saying, “no, don’t like that”. But that’s their personal opinion. A big agent might get sent 70,000 manuscripts a year and might take on five writers. At the end of the day if there’s a professional saying that this is not quite right, chances are it’s not quite right and you need to just keep working at it.’ It was my agent that advised me to put away my notes and just write from instinct. Don’t think about what people might think, write it and just see. It’s the best piece of advice I’ve had.’ The investigations come to a dangerous conclusion. Be prepared to be taken on a journey’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Behind the veneer of sleepy, touristy towns lies a dark and dangerous underworld. As Kelly threatens to expose those with much to lose, she risks paying the ultimate price to get to the truth... The story is frighteningly realistic; the crimes, as they take place are described brilliantly... the next one can't come soon enough.' Nigel Adams Book Worm

So what does a day in the life of a full-time novelist look like? ‘It’s like anything, you don’t really want to sit down but you have to. I’m a faffer – I can easily find things to distract me. But once my computer is open, off I go. I had to explain to children why world leaders, who are supposed to be people we look up to, do despicable things. Children find it really hard to get their head round that. Delving into the dark side of human nature and what drives people to do horrible things is what I find fascinating. We all have choices and we could put the brakes on at any time but some people out there don’t. They carry on until that woman is breathing her last breath – it takes a long time to strangle somebody. The story is frighteningly realistic ; the crimes, as they take place are described brilliantly… the next one can’t come soon enough.' Nigel Adams Book Worm Meanwhile, Kelly is also investigating two seemingly straightforward crimes: a case involving an illegal immigrant, and a robbery following the death of local businessman Colin Day. But evidence comes to light that reveals a web of criminal activity beyond anything Kelly imagined. Behind the veneer of sleepy, touristy towns lies a dark and dangerous underworld. As Kelly threatens to expose those with much to lose, she risks paying the ultimate price to get to the truth...I don’t tend to use a lot of notes but do keep a note of what chapter I am on, because I might forget things like a character’s girlfriend or what colour that cat was. I just let it flow and aim for around two to four chapters a day, around four hours’ writing.

Dark Game (Detective Kelly Porter Book 1) eBook : Lynch

The investigations come to a dangerous conclusion. Be prepared to be taken on a journey' 5* Reader review A dark and gritty fast paced thriller with a twisty turny, interwoven plot that had me excited to reach the climax’ Gemma’s Book Nook For my sports therapy in particular I had to be very specific about anatomy and physiology, so that really comes in handy in the forensic scenes like the autopsies.’ I go there every year and I just have to be on the water or climbing a mountain and a story just comes to me. It’s so inspirational because it’s so desolate and isolated you just can’t help think of what people might get away with in that environment.’ It’s the contrast between the antagonist and the protagonist that I absolutely love. DI Porter is the one that encompasses all that human compassion. She really feels for her victims and she won’t let up until she’s got justice for them.’I don’t know who said it but I read, “you’ve got to write the crap out of yourself before you are any good”'
