5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Still going strong. By Liz Barnsley So in a “blink and you miss it” kind of way, this is the 19th in the Wesley Peterson series – which makes me feel old and wonder what happened – I still remember quite clearly reading “The Merchant’s House” all those years ago and have been a quiet yet loyal fan of the series ever since.Now of course I review as well as read so it was pure joy to receive this one in the post, as usual it was brilliant , an evocative mixture of crime and history, a lot of intrigue and a very fascinating premise. If you have not read these before you could actually pick any one up and read it as a standalone without losing out, this one being no exception, so do not be put off by the backlog!In this instalment there are several strands – a body is found in a hotel room, a documentary is being made at a local dig, and an old Ice House is about to reveal a horrific secret. Told in present day and the past, Wesley will have his work cut out for him if he is to get to the bottom of a long ago mystery at the same time as solving a very modern murder.These are so beautifully readable, always addictive (I read half in one sitting and half in another practically without blinking) as Kate Ellis weaves many different strands of plot into a fascinating web of intrigue, emotion and edge of the seat moments. In “The Death Season” things strike a little too close to home for Wesley and whether you know the character well or not, you will be hanging on to find out how it all pans out. Then we have Neil Watson doing his thing and ending up with more than he bargained for and as usual the characters pop and the whole thing is utterly compelling.The mystery element is always intelligent, with its historical flavouring and clever immersion into the present day tale, a kind of Time Team/Morse mash up is how I would describe it (I do love aa good mash up!) the places and the people coming to life, in vivid technicolour. Really really excellent.Overall a series I would highly recommend you get your teeth into if you havent already – and if you HAVE this will please you just as much if not more than all the rest. Highly Recommended.Happy Reading Folks!

Gripping and unexpected By Alba in Bookland This is my first book by Kate Ellis and you might think that starting a series on the 19th book is not the best idea, but The Death Season can perfectly be read as a stand alone. I never felt like I was missing any crucial information, quite the opposite, I could see there was a lot back story to the characters but this only made me want to pick the previous books, because I really enjoyed meeting them for the first time and I wanted to know more about them.The Death Season handles three different stories. There are extracts from a diary that a girl wrote during WW1 at the beginning of each chapter. Then in present day, there was the murder in the hotel that seemed to be linked to a cold case from the seventies and then, there were the excavations in a ruined village engulfed by the sea during WW1. As you can tell, there is a lot going on but in no moment did I feel like it was too much, the transitions from one story to the other were clear and soon you could see how all of them were linked one way or another.I really enjoyed reading about Wesley Peterson, he was a very clever and intuitive investigator and you could tell how he was struggling with the demands of this job. He couldn't see his family as much as he wanted. Plus, there was Rachel, his colleague who had feelings for him. It was obvious that he was not comfortable with this situation and this made their interactions really interesting to read. I also liked Gerry, their chief, a lot. He was recovering from a shot but didn't want to miss anything, investigation or gossip, he wanted to know everything.The Death Season is very enjoyable read, I never got bored and I was quite hooked trying to guess who the murder was. It surprised me more than once with its clever twists and unexpected links between stories and I am sure I will be checking more Wesley Peterson books.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. from FictionZeal.com re: The Death Season (Wesley Peterson Murder Mysteries #19) by Kate Ellis By D. Coto The prologue begins in 1980 with Chris. He’s near drowning. He’s saved. Who is Chris and who was his savior — and why?No one was arrested in the 1979 murder of ten year old Fiona Carp. The use of DNA was able to confirm the killer and exonerate the person originally suspected. DCI Gerry Heffernan had been following up reluctantly on cold cases, taking it easy since his injury during a prior case.Interwoven into the chapters is a diary from the early 1900’s. At the start, we don’t know who she is; only that she is a very devious and controlling person. She has big plans for herself and her unborn child.Current day (2014), there’s a buzz about some break-ins of empty homes. Wesley Peterson is summoned to the Morbay Palace Hotel where a man had been found dead by the housekeeping staff. Upon investigation, he had two identifications upon him – one, Alan Buchanan and the other Andrew Stedley. Initially it looked like it had been a heart attack, but the ME ruled that out. Now, we have a murder.Also in current day, we have an archaeological excavation of a ‘the lost village of Sandrock’ that had been destroyed by ‘mother nature’ in 1918. Dr. Neil Watson heads up the team, and is chosen to be the spokesperson for a television series on the dig. Purely by accident, they discover the remains of a tiny four year old.Now I ask you, how does the near drowning of Chris in 1980; the death of little Fiona Carp in 1979; the ramblings of a deceitful woman from the early 1900’s; the break-ins; the murder; and the dig connect? Patience, Young Grasshopper. You won’t get anything out of this author until she wants you to. Other than the growth in character background, this 19th book in the Wesley Peterson Murder Mysteries is complete in and of itself and can be read as a standalone. At times, I did feel there was too much going on in this novel at one time, but most connects quite well by the end. I felt frustrated for Wesley’s family as he seemed to place his work on a higher plane than his family. I rated The Death Season at 4 out of 5.
