Having read all of Simon's books,Die Alone was no different in that it was a well written thriller that leaves you breathless as you turn the pages as the story unravels at breakneck speed.Once again Ray Mason is back and in tandem again with Tina Boyd still after the Bone Field killers,Ray is on the run and is in need of Tina's help more than ever, and as is always the case Tina just can't fail to help Ray out of the trouble he has found himself in.As the body count rises throughout the book things start to look grim for the pair this time as they may have just met a very powerful enemy who will stop at nothing to get to the top of the tree and that means getting rid of anyone who gets in his way.You know what you are going to get with Simon Kernicks books and that is a story that doesn't let up for a minute and by the end leaves you wanting more of the same.Once again a superb 5 star read from an author who in this genre is at the top of his game.

Another episode in the violent series of Tina Boyd/Ray Mason adventures. The action never stops from a prison break to dodgy politicians to a female assassin all wildly improbable but hugely entertaining. Will there be more? One sincerely hopes so!

Another absolute corker from Simon Kernick and one I couldn't wait to start.
An incredible mix of tension and thrills throughout at a wonderful, fast moving pace made this one a worthy addition to an already superb set.
Being familiar with the back story of the relationship between Mason & Boyd (My God, she's tough - I just love her) I was trying to think if this would work as a stand alone novel and I'm not sure. I believe so as it's all very cleverly explained but then I'd highly recommend reading his earlier novels too anyway.
Many thanks for the entertainment all weekend.

Die Alone is the third book in the Bone Field Series that after the usual 150 miles per hour ,cliff-hanging ,and exhilarating roller-coaster ride that Simon Kernick always treats his readers to brings the series to a satisfying conclusion.
Events that finished the previous book in the series, The Hanged Man, are turned upside down very early in the book and old Kernick favourites Ray Mason and Tina Boyd are pitched into battle against some very nasty people. From crooked and perverse politicians to lethal female assassins and even helpful pensioners the book is full of great characters. It does often stretch credulity but Simon Kernick's books always go for great entertainment over everything else and they're the written equivalent of a big screen action movie, they're also a lot of fun.
I wasn't too keen on Mr Kernick's last book, "We Can See You", but this is him coming back with a bang doing what he does best.
Best read if you've already read the 2 previous books in the series Die Alone is a great read that certainly lives up to the "thriller" label. The only downside is that it appears to be the end of the line for some of Kernick's long-standing and well-established characters.
Big thanks to Simon Kernick, Netgalley and Random House UK for the ARC in return for an honest review.

First time reading one of Simon’s books... though I’d heard of him!! and I was pleasantly surprised, I really enjoyed it. Quite a violent book, though it was definitely necessary as some of the characters were completely evil. Many twists and turns and near misses, had me on the edge of my seat. The book finished with the right ending and here’s hoping for happily ever after.
