Jack is back and this time it’s deadly…

For some reason, this mystery didn't come alive for me. I have read the other books in the series and appreciated each as a good read, cleverly plotted with interesting main characters. Even the characters that I previously liked - Chloe and Jack particularly - fell flat this time out. There was no tension in solving the mystery which surrounded, perhaps, Voodoo, perhaps some combination of that and another cult. I didn't buy that nor did the justification for the murders seem plausible. The new character, Alfie, who was central to the mystery, wasn't more than a stereotypical preteen. I didn't even cotton onto the fact that he was black (hence the likelihood of Voodoo?) until well into the story. So, while this was a disappointment, I will give the next in the series - if there is one - a try since the major fault was with this particular plot.Product details

Deadly Ritual DS Jack Mackinnon Crime Series Book 5 edition by D S Butler Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Suspenseful until the end. I Have read all the books in this series, and can't wait for the next one.
I'm looking forward to the next book. I hope that I doesn't take a long time for the next one. I'm defiantly hooked on the series.
good
Another doozy from DS Butler. If you love offbeat plots, this one is for you. Is this voodoo, is the voodoo angle a misdirection by a clever crook? Will a very scared but very likeable character survive? Jack and the team take you on another wild ride.
AWSOME BOOK WITH DS JACK MACKINNON. READ THE BOOKS IN ORDER.
HIGHLY RECOMENDED.
I recommend D.S. Butler’s procedural series and the author’s latest work featuring DS Jack Mackinnon and a returning cast in Deadly Ritual. Any of the novels can be enjoyed separately out of order, but you should review the previous books as they are all first rate. If Butler writes it, I'll read it.
The first four novels leaned heavily on Butler’s technical background as a clinical chemist. This newest work is not as science oriented but is still somewhat arcane. It combines an African immigrant spiritual element, ritualized murders and very serious child endangerment challenges.
As usual, Butler does not mess about. The prose is fast-paced and nicely edited . . . nothing much to quibble about in the presentation. I would highly recommend Butler’s series and this volume for fans of UK police procedurals that are looking for entertainment with somewhat less salty language and over-the-top sex and violence. Again, if Butler writes it, I’ll read it. You too are likely to become a fan . . . five stars.
In numerous reviews, I have said that the Brits write the best police procedurals. Tim Ellis and Bill Rogers are in the running for King, but no female I have read edges out Butler. The Brits are so good that there are three or four Americans writing British style police procedurals, the most noted being Preston Child (see Ice Station Wolfenstein). This author name is a combo of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, American coauthors of the famous Pendergast series.
Butler's books are all spot on when it comes to having a plot and characters that are believable and well defined and developed. The killers are brutal and difficult to catch, but catcher they get. This is her fifth book and I recommend you read them all. Enjoy!
