Praise for Loose Cannon, the first book in the Detective Joe Stone series

I would like to thank all those that gave great reviews for Loose Cannon, the first book in the Detective Joe Stone series.

PRAISE FOR LOOSE CANNON

A fantastic read! Loose Cannon is a hard-hitting, fast-paced crime thriller and one that I couldn't bear to put down. As debut novels go, this one is an absolute stonker. If you enjoy a gripping thriller then this is just the book for you and I would highly recommend it.

Holy hell I cannot believe Loose Cannon is a debut novel, having read some cracking reviews. This book went to the top of my pile and I sure as hell wasn't disappointed. I absolutely loved it.

Chelle’s book review

A fast-paced and enjoyable debut! Wow! This debut crime thriller raises your heart rate right from the first page and doesn't let up the tension until the very last sentence. www.mychestnutreadingtree.wordpress.com

What a book! The action starts on page 1 and doesn't let up until the end. The pace of the story was just right. The short, snappy chapters kept me turning the pages with bated breath; wondering what was going to happen next! There's never a dull moment in the plot, so if you're after a thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat this is definitely one for you. Jackie Roche

Rolls along at a cracking pace. Excellent characterization with enough 'back story' on the lead players to enhance the readers’ sense of involvement. An amount of research by the author is evident in the settings and descriptions of the locations, which gives the story a gritty and very real feeling of a criminal underworld at war.

This is a great debut read from Steele. I am keen to read what is in store next for Joe and his team!

I want to read more by this writer. The story was fab well thought out and moved along a good pace.

A well written and compelling novel. Short chapters keep this rolling and make you want to turn more and more. Joe is a believable character with years of experience and he certainly gets into the thick of it.

A gritty and compelling read, another new author for me and Jack Steele delivered and executed this book brilliantly. Definitely one author to keep your eye on I'd say. Great job look forward to more, much more.
