Very intriguing book for those that enjoy thriller and suspense. Super action packed and leaves you wondering what is going to happen from one page to the next.

See Them Die

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Trying to catch a killer, but not just any killer…..This book did keep me intrigued from the beginning. I would highly recommend this book if your searching for a killer book!

The first book in the Dr Hamlet Mottrell series and what a great start ! It had me gripped from the first page with a great storyline! I’m looking forward to seeing how the main characters develop over the series , good read with a big twist at the end !

Another one I could not put down and devoured in one sitting. I absolutely recommend this book. Be ready for an afternoon or evening of completely neglecting any chores as this one will have you hooked within the first chapter.

Overall, this was a fun psychological thriller. It opens strongly, with forensic psychologist Dr Hamlet Mottrell waking up in hospital, only to be accused of killing his wife and parents, an event he has no memory of. Years later, he begins working with DS Alix Rainbow when new evidence pointing to the real killer starts to be revealed.

This book has some good things going for it. The two main characters are relatable, likeable, and sympathetic as more is revealed about their past individual traumas. Alix in particular has some serious PTSD which really makes her character feel real, and I assume this will be explored as this series continues. She, rather then Hamlet, carries the book IMO. The killer uses technology for his unique signature, which was something different then the norm. Best of all, the author chooses a good place to end Book 1 so there's no irksome cliffhanger that so many authors feel the need to implement to push sales of Book 2. Much appreciated.

You definitely have to suspend disbelief in parts of this. The way Hamlet (who is still a murder suspect at this point) is just allowed to tag along with the police to crime scenes, and is filled in on progress of the investigation is a little hard to swallow. I guess they need him because his phone seems to be the only device that can have the magic app on it that the killer uses to communicate. It's a little bizarre and hard to imagine that no one tries to deny him access, or investigate the app and install it elsewhere.

Still, these are minor issues. It wasn't the "can't put it down" thriller I was hoping for, but it did its job perfectly as a few hours of well written entertainment. Not sure if I'd continue on with this particular series, but I would definitely look at some of this author's other work.

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for the free advanced review copy. I am leaving this review voluntarily

I would like to thank the author, the publisher and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read an ARC of this book. I really enjoyed it, the characters were well drawn and it was an interesting story line, I look forward to reading more by this author.

Alix Rainbow is having a difficult time proving Dr. Hamlet Mottrell’s innocence. The bodies of his wife, Helen, unborn daughter, and adoptive parents, Robert and Mary Mottrell, were all brutally murdered. Hamlet Mottrell is alive with his wrists slashed at the crime scene, suggesting he attempted suicide. Did he do this?

Dr. Hamlet Mottrell, a former forensic psychologist, has lived as a recluse in a log cabin that he inherited from his adopted grandfather for the past three years. He lost his family and everything he loved. They found more bodies with slashed wrists. Would Detective Alix Rainbow and her team be able to catch the actual killer? In contrast, each murder leaves a message behind at the crime scene.

Dr. Hamlet Mottrell Investigations, book one, is a fast-paced thriller I recommend to readers who enjoy suspense thrillers. This book keeps me on the edge of my seat and awake until the end. Michael Fowler’s novel See Them Die is a well-written novel that captivated my imagination from the first page. With confidence, I would rate this novel five out of five stars.

Good book! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, so many twists and turns and a great mystery who done it! The storyline was very interesting, it flowed nicely! It was a little short but still a great book! I can't wait for more! I will definitely recommend reading this book! It was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

The main character, Hamlet, is a psychologist who lives a reclusive existence after being accused of murder if his wife and unborn child. He was never convicted, but he was also never fully cleared of suspicion. Alix Rainbow was the investigator in his case. Hamlet calls upon her when another murder takes place, one that reminds him of the case with his wife. This kicks off a hunt for a serial killer.

I will say that the book is well written, with a lot of moving pieces. The character development is good and overall it flows really nicely. That being said, it lacked the “I can’t put this book down” aspect that some have. I have nothing negative to say, but it didn’t grip me like I like it to.

The ending was good, and threw me a plot twist that I didn’t expect.

Overall, a solid read. Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

This ARC was provided to me via Kindle, Sapere Books and by #NetGalley. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

A psychological thriller I found impossible to put down.

See them die by Michael Fowler.
Dr Hamlet Mottrell Investigations Book 1.
Three years ago, forensic psychologist Dr Hamlet Mottrell’s life was completely destroyed when an intruder killed his wife and unborn child and slashed his wrists to make it look like a murder-suicide.
I really enjoyed this book. I liked hamlet. Wow twisty and tense. I had my theory but I was shocked near the end. Definitely recommend. I can't wait for next book review. 5*.

A chilling and gripping read that was twisty, suspenseful and unpredictable. It kept me guessing right until the end, I didn't know what to think. It had me on the edge fo my seat and the hairs on the back of my neck up. A really great read.

Three years ago, Hamlet woke up in ICU to find himself accused of murdering his parents, wife and unborn baby, then leaving suicide a note on his computer before slashing his wrists. He denied it all and there was no admissible proof, but he was convicted in the press and the court of public opinion as well as all of law enforcement. Now another incident occurs, and Hamlet can see a link with his own circumstances. He contacts DS Alix Rainbow and when she finally agrees to check out his claim of probable connection, things begin to happen. There are earlier deaths that echo what happened to him, then there are more murders, all connected to each other and to one very devious man. This is a very tightly woven tale with characters who engage with each other and with this reader. A nerve-wracking read.
I requested and received a free e-book copy from Sapere Books via NetGalley. Thank you

I would like to thank Netgalley and Sapere Books for an advance copy of See Them Die, the first novel to feature psychologist Dr Hamlet Mottrell, set in and around Sheffield.

Three years ago Hamlet’s parents, his wife and unborn child were brutally murdered and his wrists were slashed. Ever since he has been under suspicion and has become a recluse. Recently he has heard of another case deemed a suicide that he thinks might exonerate him and he contacts DS Alix Rainbow, the detective determined to put him away three years ago.

I thoroughly enjoyed See Them Die, which is an event packed series debut with several twists and turns and a big surprise to round it off. It is told from from Hamlet and Alex’s points of view, so the focus is where I like it to be, on the investigation. The killer’s identity is revealed early on in the novel, so it’s more a case of cat and mouse than whodunnit, although cat and mouse is probably an overstatement as the killer always seems several steps ahead of them.

The novel is well constructed and flows well, despite the subject matter and body count. I like that once the identity is established the case naturally covers both historic crimes and new ones and they integrate smoothly. I also like the way the author integrates the characters’ past into the narrative and establishes a burgeoning trust between them. Of course, it wouldn’t be crime fiction if they weren’t both damaged and psychologically frail in certain areas, but again it seems natural as this damage hasn’t impaired their moral compass or desire for justice. It seems like a winning combination to me.

See Them Die is a good read that I have no hesitation in recommending.
