The political investigator/journalist is found floating in the Potomac; ruled suicide. Her estranged NYPD IA husband doesn’t believe it. So the story starts. Lots of bad guys, political guys, and fixers to sort through before he can find resolution. With the help of his cop brother and a few others, our protagonist works his way through related crimes to get answers. Could be the start of an excellent series; would love to reconnect.

What a brilliant start to a brand new political mystery series!

I really loved the writing and the characterizations. Jack is someone who has lost a lot in life and his grief is well-described throughout the story - makes you cry. The mystery behind Caroline and Sophie's deaths, or rather, murders, is well-maintained until the end. Jack is the kind of guy who follows all the rules but there comes a time when he has to do something that breaks all the rules. Will he go against the standards he set for himself? He should if he wants justice for Caroline...

I enjoyed reading No Way Back by J.B. Turner and am looking forward to seeing what's next for Jack.

Excellent book. Good strong story line and characters, which kept me turning the pages.
A new author for me as well and I will certainly read more of his work. Recommend.

This book is in the category "could have been very good". The first problem is that more than a quarter of the book is spent on whether a cop should investigate the suspicious death of his wife or not. Duh! The biggest problem is that the plot is mostly nonsense. The characters and the writing itself are good, so the book is readable, but not very good.

Thank you to #NetGalley for an advance copy of #NoWayBack by #JBTurner
Jack is still reeling from the death of his son and breakdown of his marriage when his wife dies.
Ruled a suicide Jack knows this is wrong and goes after the people responsible.
In places it is a bit far fetched but if you accept that it is a rollicking good read.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I found this book to be a refreshing take on thrillers with the CIA concepts linking with the murders with a character that was cleary written with heart.

What a thrilling ride this was. I read the book in one sitting. Couldn't put it down. No Way Back by J. B. Turner is the first book by this author I have ever read and it sure is not the last. This book is also the first in a brand new series about NYPD detective Jack McNeal. I love the characters and the storyline. The book is well written and fast paced with one revelation after the other. We also get to deal with what is ok morally. I am so pleased that I took a chance to try this book and author and will look forward to the next insallment in this series. While I wait I have time to read some of his other work. I must thank @netgalley @amazonpublishing and #ThomasAndMercer for giving me this advance copy. of #NoWayBack and of course #JBTurner for writing

Wow! That was a little crazy trip at the end there! Lol this book had suspense, intrigue, action, great police , detective work and lots of cruel murder and crazy mayhem! If you like cruel punishment with a great storyline this books for you! I definitely enjoyed reading this book, it was a little graphic but I guess I like that type because I liked this one! lol I definitely recommend reading this book! Its a great read! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

No way back by J.B. Turner.
Jack Macneil book 1.
NYPD detective Jack McNeal is used to asking the tough questions. But a late-night visit from the Secret Service lands Jack on the other side of the table—as a suspect in the disappearance of his estranged wife, Caroline, a prominent reporter on the White House beat. When her body is found floating in the Potomac, Jack is overcome by disbelief and despair.
A slow but good read. I did like Jack's character. 4*.

"Take time to mourn. Take time to remember the good times. Time is indeed a good healer." - J.B. Turner

"No Way Back" by J.B. Turner, is the first in the new "Jack McNeal Series. Jack McNeal works for Internal Affairs. At times, Jack is perceived as too gruff and obsessive about his life. He lost his only child Patrick in a tragedy five years ago. He and his wife Caroline have been separated for eighteen months due to the stress grief put on their marriage. Caroline lives in Washington D.C. where she works as a political journalist.


One evening Jack receives a strange call telling him to come into work immediately. There, he receives the devastating new that Carolyn is missing. Soon her body is found and it is believed to be a suicide. This is very unlike Carolyn, so Jack begins to investigate, and what he finds will leave reader's in suspense till the last chapter.


I am conflicted if this should be a 3 or 4 star book. I really enjoyed the story, but I did feel it was a bit slow at times. Overall I think a 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ review is appropriate. I am excited to read the next book in the series.
Great job J.B.Turner! I applaud you!

Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK, for allowing me to review this awesome new book.

I enjoyed so much this new instalment of the series and I really felt bad for our main character and what he had to go through.
Looking forward to read the next ones

A tense and gripping detective thriller.
Jack McNeal is trying to come to terms with the loss of his son, and the ending of his marriage, when he is called into a 3am meeting with senior officials. His wife is dead, apparently a suicide, but he is a person of suspicion.
He is not satisfied with the official story and wants to investigate, but he is told in no uncertain terms to walk away.
A good story which kept me gripped throughout. Unsurprisingly, as I do like JB Turner's books.

People are concerned about McNeal, a good detective
Stress, crossing the line in getting information, being alone
His wife was a political journalist, when her body was found
It threw McNeal into into an emotional trauma, an angry
Wanting space to find and get justice for what was done
A new series, hard hitting course of action by Jack McNeal
Well done, a character with many layers, as we will see
Given ARC by Amazon us and Thomas Mercer for my
voluntary review and my honest opinion
