The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Declan Walsh series continues...

One murder... One suspect... One victim... Yet two identical bodies have been found...

For DI Declan Walsh, life is finally returning to normal. Finding a home at DCI Alexander Monroe's Last Chance Saloon Crime Unit, Declan is still recovering from the fallout connected to their most recent case, while cleaning out his late father's home in order to move in.

But when Declan's old mentor, now terminally ill with cancer confesses to a gruesome murder, on the condition that Declan himself takes on the case, Declan and his colleagues find themselves in a race against time to find the real killer before a violent gang war breaks out over it.

But then another witness appears, claiming that he knows where the body is buried; in the process revealing another body, identical in every way - including DNA, tattoos and injuries.

Now, with both North London and South Birmingham becoming battlegrounds and with vendettas reaching boiling point, Declan Walsh must delve back into the world of Johnny and Jackie Lucas, the East End ‘Twins’ as he tries to discover how one victim can have two identical bodies.

And at the same time, he has to deal with a deadly secret involving his late father's murder, an ex-girlfriend with a very personal request and his daughter's first date...

The second book in the critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling series of procedural crime thrillers featuring DI Walsh and the team of the Last Chance Saloon, Murder Of Angels is perfect for fans of J.D Kirk, L.J Ross, Ian Rankin, Alex Smith, Rachel McLean, J M Dalgliesh and Ann Cleeves, among others.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Last Chance Saloon Back in Action
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2023

DI Declan Walsh and the entire Last Chance Saloon crew are back in action. A former boss and mentor of Walsh, now retired and in the final stages of terminal cancer, has confessed to a murder. He's also demanded that he and the case be handed to DI Walsh. In private conversation with Walsh, the former Detective Chief Inspector and confessed murderer declares to Walsh that he didn't really do it, but that he was acting on instruction of one of the London crime bosses who promised financial aide to his family after he's dead. From that point forward, nothing is what it seems.

In what unfolds into an extremely complicated plot, Walsh and his fellow coppers are thrown into the middle of the London and Birmingham underworlds, family dynamics and jealousies, and more crooked policemen than you can count. I like involved plots as well as most readers, but it seems to me that this one is overdone. Maybe the twists and turns are more than my mind can handle. Maybe it's my fault, but it's why I rated Murder of Angels as Four Stars, instead of Five.

Don't get me wrong. It's a great story, well told. I'm glad I read it, and I recommend it. There are lots of interesting characters--some new ones, along with furthering our understanding of the repeats. Gatland has a good balance of background coloring and plot movement. He uses dialog effectively, which serves the dual purpose of telling the story, and of identifying the characters. Well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Confusing
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2022
Verified Purchase
To me, most of the entire story was confusing. Three different mob gangs, two of which had children who wanted to be the next leaders but hated their parents, fell in love with the same girl who was the daughter of another mob leader but she was the biological daughter of a nun and priest. The priest had a twin brother. The daughter had a twin sister.

The best part of the confusing story is at the end everything was explained,
I was going to give a four star only because of the confusion factor but accidentally gave the story a five star. A five star is okay with me. I hope you enjoy the read

3.0 out of 5 stars Good enough story..
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2023

The story was improbable in many ways, imo and there were editing errors on the kindle version. That being said, the story was entertaining enough.

I like the characters and it's good getting to know them. There is always a thread of mystery in each book about who is betraying Declan so it will be good to see where the story goes from here.

I would still recommend this book even with its flaws.

Declan Walsh and The Last Chance Saloon get a case from the least likely of people, A former, disgraced Cooper that us dying, and one of the last things he wants to do is confess to a murder. A murder of a young girl with organized crime ties. But as the start to unravel this case, things are never what they seem. She was dug up, vat the sane time, she was dug up at another location. Two bodies, same girl? Both Angela or Angel, A Murder of Angels is a gripping page turner that I know you will enjoy.

I like this new author and series. However, not being British, the politics don't interest me in the storyline. The second book while good, seemed very long and convoluted. So much so I scanned the last few chapters to get to the ending. I may try one more in the series to see how it goes.
