Subject: Friend📚Twisty layered page turner full of tension and lies (99c)


Hi Friend, 

I hope you and your family are safe and well? 

As a subscriber of the J.F.Burgess readers newsletter, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you again for downloading my compelling murder mystery The Killer Shadow Thieves from a recent Bookfunnel crime promotion. 

I can appreciate you will have downloaded other crime books from that promo, so may not have read it yet. If you missed out on that,here's a link to download the book again for FREE! 

However, today I wanted to let you know book 2 in the gripping DI Tom Blake Murder Squad series, A Place of Reckoning is ONLY 99c for the next few days, after that, it will revert to $2.60, so I thought you might like to grab a bargain. 

And don't worry, both books can be read as stand alone's, because even though they  follow the path of widowed Detective Tom Blake and his team, they're separate cases.

A deadly secret. A dark obsession. A terrifying killer.

Annabelle Lancaster appears to have everything. As well as being married to a rich and powerful Pottery tycoon, she has a gorgeous house and actively supports a charity for victims of domestic abuse. 

But after another argument with her resentful stepchildren, her older husband, Charles, trust issues resurface because of a past affair.

To make matters worse, she fears someone has been following her.

When she suddenly disappears, Charles is convinced brutal ex bare-knuckle fighter, Patrick Dunne has taken her. Patrick promised to avenge his son who died in a tragic accident in one of Charles' factories. It's an open and shut case...

…until a headless woman turns up in a remote Peak District pool: her back tattooed with a cryptic Tarot card.

As Detective Inspector Tom Blake and FBI profiler Lucy Stryker dig into the brutal murder, they uncover long-buried secrets about a historic conspiracy and a clandestine cult linked to Annabelle's abduction.

Someone’s harbouring a deadly grudge, strong enough to kill more innocent people to expose the truth, and Blake and Stryker must unmask a murderer before they strike again.

But with Annabelle’s estranged stepchildren unwilling to aid the investigation, and her blind daughter under serious threat, it's not just her life that hangs in the balance: will anyone get out alive?

In a shocking final twist: those with the darkest secrets will face their...Place of Reckoning.


A Place of Reckoning is the compelling murder mystery, from author, J.F.Burgess, an exciting new voice in British crime fiction. Perfect for fans of, Christopher Greyson, Simon McCleave and Angela Marsons.

Why readers love it

The plot moves at a great pace, with the reader not being sure what is on the next page, it makes for an incredibly compelling read. I was completely engrossed throughout, with Burgess’ writing making this an emotional and enjoyable roller-coaster of a read. The cast are multifaceted and the reader will develop sympathy even for the villains of the piece. It makes for a set of characters that will remain with you for a long time after you have put the novel down.
