Kill Season

Jake Cashen Crime Thriller Series, Book 2

De: Declan James

Narrado por: Alexander Cendese

There's a killer on the loose deep in the backwoods of Blackhand Hills. When someone close to Detective Jake Cashen falls prey, the line between justice and vengeance becomes razor-thin.

A skilled hunter is found dead in the first few moments of opening day for deer season. Everyone assumes it was an accident. When Jake learns the victim is his best friend, Ben Wayne, he must push past his crushing grief and process the scene.

Two things become horrifyingly clear. Ben was shot through the head with a high-powered rifle. And this was no accident; it was an execution.

As the town grieves, Jake discovers there has been a series of similar killings throughout southern Ohio. The victims were the strongest of men: hunters, outdoorsmen, athletes. Each of them picked off by an unseen killer who lies in wait.

When Jake moves to reopen the other cases, he’s blocked at every turn. No one wants to believe there’s a serial killer on the loose or take the blame for missing the signs. Jake’s on his own as he races to unravel the clues and face down a ruthless murderer.

It’s hunting season in Blackhand Hills. And the ultimate predator is poised to strike again.

Kill Season is the pulse-pounding second book in the Detective Jake Cashen thriller series. A former police detective, author Declan James brings you authentic crime fiction that will keep you on the edge of your seat with twists you'll never see coming. Perfect for fans of Connelly, Box, Dugoni and Baldacci.

Excellent read

Book number two in the series is in my opinion actually a better than the first and the first was really good. The storyline the narrator, and the interesting plot twists were very good. In the wrapup, I thought it was missing how the animal rights activist waved into the whole plot itself. But definitely worth the purchase.

twists and turns

I loved the way the plot danced and weaved. It was a suspenseful and delightful tale. I like the development of the characters.

Love it!

so far I'm really liking this series about detective Jake cashing. it's a great book with a great performance you'd be missing out if you didn't read it

Excellent story, excellent narrator

Love the small town story line, the description of the relationships, the history of family ties.

The writing is spot on.

Right from the beginning, the writing keeps you glued to the storyline and wanting more. I know it won't take long before I'm finished with book 5 so I'm hoping that book six will be out very soon. Hopefully Jake Cashen will be around for a long time!

Another outstanding book!

Detective Jake Cashen is settling into life back in his hometown, as an assistant wrestling coach hs and helping his sister w her kids and his grandpa. Then a killer starts targeting hunters…and this case is personal! Another outstanding story!

keeps you thinking

I love the characters and plots in this series. I can't wait to start the next one.

The story flowed.

I liked the book because it was a continuous from book one and contained developed characters.

Worth it for Cendese’s reading alone

Loved that there was less wrestling in this one, but those who are against hunting will not likely enjoy it. Does a good job of nodding to the first book, but without spoilers so that someone starting with the second book could easily pivot to the first. Not sure I love the dynamic between Jake and Birdie, but we will see where that goes. Sheriff Landry is probably my favorite character in the series thus far and Cendese does such a job giving her a voice—literally and in bringing her character alive.

Love everything about this series!

Narration and story deserve 20 stars! I’ve pre-ordered book 3, keep them coming! Reminds me of Archer Mayor.
