The Hell You Say by Josh Lanyon
4.0
As usual, this series continues to impress!
Definitely a good book in the series, made so because of the character of Adrien English. There is lots and lots of humour and witty comments - Adrien is the king of the fast comeback!
It's a thriller mystery although with a little less action than previous books and Adrien doesn't seem to be getting himself into so much direct trouble. There is lots of sleuthing as he tries to help his bookshop assistant who is part of a cult and accused of a crime Adrien doesn't think he committed.
At first I wondered why Adrien was so passionate about getting involved but I think his nature didn't give him any choice! As a writer of mysteries he doesn't have it in him just to sit back and not follow the clues.
Jake only makes a minimal appearance in this book. I would have like there to be more on-page Jake although he was an asshole!
All in all - a great book, a mystery not a romance. The ending was a little bit fast and sudden but luckily there was another book for me to launch straight into!
The narration captures the essence of Adrien. The other characters are voiced well too - Guy, with his slight British accent and Lisa.
