Rising Tide

DI Jamie Johansson, Book 2

De: Morgan Greene

Narrado por: Sofia Engstrand

Rising Tide is the pulse-pounding new instalment in the DI Jamie Johansson series and the terrifying follow-up to Angel Maker.

DI Jamie Johansson is on loan to the Stockholm Polis when a chilling call for help comes in. The Bolstad B oil platform in the unforgiving Norwegian Sea is in total lockdown. The body of one of the crew was found brutally attacked and then hanged from a crane. And another is missing. But operations cannot stop. The fate of the drilling company hangs by a thread, a crew change is imminent and tensions are reaching breaking point.

Jamie and her new partner, Anders Wiik, are flown out to the platform with just five days to solve the crime and a list of suspects unlike any they’ve dealt with. These people are scared, dangerous, angry and they’ll do anything to survive. Everyone just wants to go home, but as the switchover draws closer, more of the crew begin to disappear - one, by one, by one....

The killer is playing their own twisted game, and Jamie and Wiik are out of their depth.

WOW, DIDN'T see that coming!!!

This is absolutely a great storyline with different characters and content. Creativity and inspiration are wrapped around you as the plot thickens. A complete smash hit.
I also love the narration, spot on you can feel it.
Totally went and got the next 6 and begging my hubby for him to get me #7... Yep, He loves me, and I love this series!!!
Keepnthem coming please!!!

A slow burn for me

Took a bit to get into the story, Moe interested in finding out the name Jaime was promised.

Good

It started out a little slow, but finally got where it was none stop. Ready for the next book.

Fast paced and action packed!!

I liked this audiobook so so much that I cannot wait to listen to the next one!

Always keeps me guessing

The way Morgan tells the story and keeps you guessing until the very end is really something. It’s not often I don’t know who is guilty by the middle of the book, but it’s always a surprise in these! Can’t wait to read the rest!

Too long

This book should have been two hours shorter. To much repetive, descriptive dialog. The basis of the story was good, and I wanted to finish it, however it just droned on and on

Disappointing

I really enjoyed the first book in the series, but struggled with this second installment. It took me several tries to finally get into this book, and ultimately it was way too long. The setting is an oil platform, and it is a unique take on the locked room mystery trope. The book certainly had a claustrophobic vibe.

I had trouble visualizing the layout of the platform, which is a key element in the story. There were several extended action scenes dependent on the platform that didn't come across well in audio format. These scenes also streched credulity a bit too far.

There were some odd details missing from the story. For example, I think they only ate one meal - cereal in 5 days. How did they have the energy for all these battle scenes?

I did like to see the working relationship between the two detectives solidify, but after a sneak peek at book 3 in the series, it appears Wiik is no longer in the picture. I feel a bit betrayed by this.

There was also an excessive amount of gratuitous profanity.

Too Dumb to Finish

Narrator did a good job, but premise was too ridiculous, MC’s thoughts/actions/and relationship with partner too ridiculous and annoying, and plot too interminable to finish this book. Hours of my life I’ll never get back. Big disappointment after a
a very decent first book of series.

Depression

The location was depressing, as was the story and characters. Poor Viik- turned into a 50 year old weakling. Only listened because I paid for it.
