As a massive fan of Simon Kernick for a few years now, after my friend gifted me one of his books and I was hooked, I was very excited to get my hands on a copy of this and it did not disappoint! I love Simon's books as they are fast paced, edge of your seat thrillers and this one was no exception! I like Tina and Ray and their relationship they have, many moments when I wasnt sure what was going to happen to either of them (wont say anything else because of spoilers!) I dont like the gory bits (bit of a baby when it comes to those!) but this book kept me hooked and I had to keep reading to find out what happens to the evils in it! Another fab book from Simon, cant wait for the next one!

Haven't read this yet as halfway through second book. Enjoy Simon Kernicks writing gritty thriller with a twist worth reading the whole trilogy.

Wow ... just wow! What a thrill-a-page that was! This is the third and final instalment of "The Bone Field" series and what a series it's been. You could read this part as a standalone but I think you would appreciate and have a clearer and better understanding of Ray's motivations if you read the previous books although not essential as Mr Kernick provides adequate snippets so you can easily keep up. This book is just brilliant; full of action, scenes of peril, violence, tense and tender moments, fast-paced, gripping, well written and easy to read. DI Ray Mason is a complex and very interesting character and although he may not always follow the rule of law, you find yourself rooting for him and willing him on through his many scrapes, tussles and near misses with the "goodies" and the "baddies". Tina Boyd is one of my all-time favourite female characters and I loved that she returned for this final outing - more books with Tina as the central character please Mr Kernick

Simon Kernick likes to mix and match his characters and though each of his books can be read as a stand-alone, together they make up more than the sum of their parts. So Ray Mason, Tina Boyd and Mike Bolt have all appeared in previous books, but Die Alone is the final part of the Bone Field Trilogy. Don’t let any of that get in the way of enjoying this excellent, fast paced novel, though. Ray Mason was a police detective, and a damned good one. But his tolerance for letting vicious killers get away has reached its limits and as a result when we meet him he is in the Vulnerable Prisoners Wing of a high security prison, awaiting trial for a double murder. Disgraced and disowned by his own colleagues and with a price on his head put there by those criminals whose lives and crimes he has disrupted, Mason has few friends and way too many enemies. So when, in the midst of a prison riot, Mason is liberated from the prison and promised a new life and a new identity, he knows his options are limited. It helps that in exchange for this largesse, Mason has to kill a man he knows to be the personification of evil. Alastair Sheridan is the most loathsome of villains, a seemingly respectable fat cat turned politician who is also a sadistic serial killer. Behind a façade of bonhomie, he has blackmailed and crawled his way almost to the top by associating with some of the worst villains there are, both at home and internationally. Sheridan is clever though and his façade is near perfect, with a trophy wife and seemingly unimpeachable lifestyle. Mason knows differently though and is prepared to use cold blooded killing as a way to take out this vile perpetrator. But Mason has been set up and soon the hunter becomes the hunted. Soon his very few friends will be putting their lives at risk for him as he hares from one death defying shoot out to another, putting everyone he cares about in serious danger. Kernick has created in Mason an honourable man who the justice system has failed, making him ready to mete out his own form of retribution. He keeps his promises, regardless of the personal cost and though he knows he is not good for her, he feels a bond with Tina Boyd that he can’t help but tug on. Die Alone is an action-packed thrill ride. It is relentless in its pace and the quest for justice is never far away from his protagonist’s quick thinking mind. Mason is a man who lives life to the full and is never more than three paces away from the next ambush. Vivid, with just enough scary violence and with an authentic feel for the criminal underbelly of England, Die Alone is an electric read. Verdict: The very definition of a thrill-ride, Die Alone starts at a running pace and just gets faster. The characters are engaging and the plot electric. If you like your protagonists quick thinking and commando fit, Die Alone is the book for you.

Alistair Sheridan is a serial killer who has also been named as the next prime minister. He was the man behind the Bone Fiel killings and Ray has unfinished business with him. Ray is on the run and he needs Tina to flee the country. But there are people out to prevent him from achieving this. I've loved every minute and every wordin this trilogy. There's been many heart stopping moments and plenty of twist and turns. This thrilling conclusion does not disappoint. Ray has many narrow escapes. The narrative is told from Ray and Tina's point of views. The pace is fast and the plot line is thrilling. It's well written, tense and gripping. But it does have some violent scenes. This has been a really great trilogy. I highly recommend it. I would like to thank NetGalley, Random House UK, Cornerstone and the author Simon Kernick for my arc In exchange for an honest review. #DieAlone #NetGalley
