Angela Marion's can do no wrong!!

Yet another title where she has absolutely smashed it out of the park.

Read the series in order, you won't regret it. Instead you will
Make a few new friends in the unit.

Superb, as always

Another Kim Stone smashed out of the park! I absolutely love this series, Angela is such fantastic writer and knows how to execute a storyline like no one else! The mystery and suspense seeps from the pages and this one was no different! Brilliant book to do to the collection, I can’t wait to see what happens next!

This book was amazing Ive read all of Angela's and was disappointed with book 20 don't know if it was the subject matter that made me feel that way but book 21 was just fantastic .I couldn't put it down cant wait for the next one.

This installment of this series was really nail biting. I loved the connection between Kim and Tracy. The love/hate relationship they share makes Kim’s willingness to help Tracy when she received a threatening letter even more interesting. The killer tries to control both Tracy and Kim and her team and the ladies aren’t having it. I couldn’t put this one down.

Thank you Bookouture for my copies of this book.

I love the Kim Stone series and catching up with the characters lives, it’s like catching up with family.. This book was a bit different which I enjoyed and I didn’t guess who The Jester was either. Fast paced as usual with short and snappy chapters made it hard to put down. Loved the ending and can’t wait for the next one!

Oh my goodness! I genuinely do not know how Angie does this. Repeatedly churning out incredible book after book at such a high rate of speed!
Kim Stone remains my firm favourite kick-ass female detective.
I cannot recommend this entire series enough - in fact, I often do!

3.5 stars - The fact that I still love these books after this long is saying a lot!! Marsons has a way of writing that keeps me turning the pages and I'm very investing in Stone and her team. That being said where my stars fluctuate typically is due to the plot and this one was't my favorite. I appreciate it was a topic that is not over saturated but wasn't as in to the "seeking" plot. But man that ending makes me eager for the next book!

Another triumph from Angela Marsons. I loved this book and was really invested in what happened and if the team managed to solve the case in the given 36 hours.

DI Kim Stone was woken very early one morning with someone knocking on her door. It turned out to be Tracy Frost, the local reporter, who Kim clashed with frequently. Tracy had been sent a message to say that she along with the police had 36 hours to solve a crime or someone would die. Tracy tried to persuade Kim that this was something they need to work together on.

Kim gathered her team and they all agreed that this was something they needed to solve. Kim’s superiors were not convinced and didn’t want to waste resources on it but Kim was adamant and when things took a sinister turn this made her even more determined.

This was a fast paced book and a fab read. Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The Kim Stone series is one of my favorite series. This one wasn't my favorite but still an enjoyable read. I enjoy geocaching which is another reason why I was entertained by this story. However, I didn't find the plot believable starting with the team chasing clues even there was no crime committed. As always, the writing is superb and I love all the characters. Can't wait to read more.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and Angela Marsons for an ARC of '36 Hours'.

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me an eARC in exchange for an honest review!
Angela Marsons delivers yet another wonderfully written novel! The latest installment in the D.I. Kim Stone series is gripping, fast paced and filled with complex characters.
I absolutely love reading about these characters, their development throughout the series has been fascinating and the dynamics between the characters is easily one of my favorite things about these books.
I once again devoured the book and enjoyed every moment of it. It was super interesting to delve into the world of geo-caching and seeing how the team deals with such a high-tension case.
I can’t wait for the next installment and I highly recommend 36 Hours for all thriller and police procedural readers

Brilliant series
21st in the Detective Kim Stone series
And another great book at that
You won’t want to put this book down
Thanks NetGalley

I’ve read all the Kim Stone series and I love the stories - fast-paced police procedurals with the predictably flawed detective. They offer a good read and are on the whole well written. To some extent I would encourage reading them in order although it is not entirely neccessary. Look forward to the next one!

Another fantastic, brilliant paced book from one of my favourite authors, you would think that going by how many books are in this series that Marsons would run out of steam but she just keeps getting better in my opinion, every time I pick up a new book it's like revisting old friends, that is how much I love these books. As always five great big stars from me!

36 HOURS is the 21st book in the D.I. Kim Stone crime-thriller series by best-selling author Angela Marsons. This novel can be read as a standalone. Angela Marsons remains one of my favorite mystery authors, and her publisher, Bookouture, always publishes the very best novels. I have read all of her books…and she keeps getting better. I don’t want this series to end!

It was so refreshing to touch base with Kim’s CID team again: DS Bryant, DS Penn, and DC Stacey Wood. Her team are driven and compassionate in their work. The story centers around Detective Kim Stone and her rival reporter Tracy Frost. The characters keep getting stronger and stronger. We also touch base with Kim’s boss, DCI Woodward (Woody), Keats, the local pathologist, and who could forget Kim’s faithful dog, Barney. Love that dog!

On a Sunday morning Tracy Frost, a local reporter, had received a cryptic message from someone who referred to himself as “The Jester”, about wanting to play a game, showed up on her email. The note gave clear instructions to follow over a period of 36 hours and if they were followed, no one would get hurt… but if she failed, people would die. Tracy was told to contact the police, so she contacted Detective Kim Stone.

Was this a hoax?

Kim feels this is not a hoax and bought together her team to wait for the first clue…a home phone number, an email address and a clue. A short time later they solve the first cryptic clue with the discovery of a box hidden in the woods with a second clue and tape.

This was no hoax! Bloody fingernails and bloody teeth had been left at the scenes.

Kim must find where the Jester is hiding his victim.

But then on the second day a surgeon goes missing, and if they don’t save her an eight-year-old girl will die.

Time is ticking away and Kim must find the culprit.

36 Hours is race against time with twists and high suspense level that will keep you glued to your seat.

Many thanks to the author, Bookouture and Net Galley for my digital copy.

This is a gripping and fast-paced thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. It also caused an actual physical reaction to one particularly nasty crime....I must be getting soft

The novel follows Detective Inspector Kim Stone, in the most unlikely scenario we've seen yet - teaming up with journalist Tracey Frost. Their relationship has always been....well let's say strained. But now they have to work together. A message from someone calling themselves The Jester has set them a challenge. Follow his trail of clues and stick to his rules. If they fail, someone will die.


The plot is tightly woven, with some great twists. I'm usually pretty good at guessing the ending, but in this case, some red herrings and double bluffs led me down the wrong path. Which I love. As always, I'm waiting with baited breath for the next instalment.

OMG....Angela Marsons what are you doing to your readers? Book 20 in the series the last one I read was great as usual but I felt like something was missing in that story and I couldn't work out what. This book has just put me firmly back in my place and put me through the wringer in terms of drama and I can honestly say Marson's is a skilled and talented author.

Tracey Frost the reporter that irritates Kim more than life itself is bashing Kim's door down based on what she thinks is a serious threat. For once Kim takes her word for it and before you know it, Tracey's worry becomes a reality. The sender of eerie messages to Tracy Frost want to play a game, and the game is set by a clock. Kim and the team have 36 hours to follow a trail. If they fail to solve clues people will die! The whole idea I absolutely loved from the outset and due to that ticking clock, you feel the anxiety ramping up within the team.

I really don't want to say too much about the storyline as I truly feel like it was such a good read especially having not read the synopsis and going in blind it made it all the more frenetic. I absolutely loved this book and cannot say one negative thing about it. The series continues to produce amazing storyline and I cannot wait to continue on the journey...

Another thrilling book in the Kim stone series- but this time is is a cat and mouse chase to find the killer by deciphering clues of the next location. Brilliant as always and can easily be read as a standalone- but you will be hooked and be wanting to read all of the others too!

Fan bloody tastic!
Another fabulous story, I was gripped throughout and it left me wanting to read more

wow angela marsons does it again i have followed most detective kim stone books however this has got to be one of my favourites i was so gripped the story was fast paced all the personalities of the team shined through yet again..

i love kim and frosts relationship and am happy with the ending..

i didnt see the main person coming as there were so many characters to throw suspicion at it could have been any one of them.

This book had so many twists and turns this book took following all the clues and you actually fealt you were running around with them and theres just enough hunour to lighten the mood

kim is as ballsy and annoying as ever

cant wait for the next one

This is the twenty first book in the DI Kim Stone series and I have to say I have enjoyed every single one of them. The book can be read as a standalone but why not treat yourself to reading the complete series,

Detective Kim Stone once again faces a race against time to solve the case. Journalist Tracy Frost shows a chilling note to Kim from an anonymous challenger giving Kim 36 hours to solve a deadly puzzle or face the consequences. Lives hang in the balance as Kim must decipher the clues left by an evil challenger.
The first clue Kim receives takes her into the woods where they find an upsetting tape recording with another clue. The trail unfolds and it becomes obvious that the stakes are personal and devastatingly high. This case is going to take everything Kim has to solve as she encounters an evil criminal who is prepared to go to any lengths to achieve his goal.

The clock is ticking and Kim encounters a devastating setback when they fail to save one of the victims arriving too late. The tension builds and when a skilled surgeon is abducted it puts at risk the life of an innocent eight-year-old. Kim is determined to catch the evil mastermind and faces a tough decision as to whether she needs to break in order to do it.

The novel races at a fast pace as we follow Kim’s search for the killer and she faces moral dilemmas and tough decisions throughout. Well written with very good characters and a plot that keeps the reader guessing.
“36 Hours” is a very good read and an excellent addition to the series.

I would like to thank both Bookouture and Netgalley for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
