The Pharaoh Key by Preston & Child (2018) Having recently finished another Preston & Child story titled ‘Beyond the Ice Limit‘, Rebel Voice decided to give the pair another chance to redeem themselves. Big mistake. The Pharaoh Key is more of the same, only even more cliched. Gideon Crew is into the last few months […]
Fool Me Twice by Robert B. Parker (Michael Brandman) Robert B. Parker died in 2010. This novel was released in 2013. It is not Parker’s own work, of course (unless a seance was employed), but that of Michael Brandman, approved by the Parker estate. It’s understandable why Brandman has been chosen.

Black Mass by Dick Lehr and Gerard O’Neill The story of Whitey Bulger is one that has captured the imagination of the movie industry in a big way over the years. Films such as Black Mass (based on this novel) and The Departed have either directly or indirectly used the story as their plot-lines, and […]
Leverage In Death by J.D Robb Lieutenant Eve Dallas is a favourite with Rebel Voice. If there was a crime at this site then we would call upon the feisty, kick-ass New York detective. OK, she is living in 2067, so hasn’t yet been born, but why allow such trivial matters to spoil a beautiful […]
