Storm Cell - Lewis Cole #10


Storm Cell is the 10th mystery thriller featuring PI/fixer Lewis Cole written by Brendan DuBois. Originally released in 2017, this reformat and re-release from Severn House is not currently available for retail sale. It's worth noting that the ebook format provided for review has a  has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links throughout. 

This is a very well written, tensely atmospheric and very much action driven mystery thriller in a continuing series. There is a lot of courtroom action/drama, and MC Lewis Cole's friend is on trial for the murder of a local politician and philanthropist which Cole is convinced he didn't commit.

The plotting is tight and the mystery works well. There is a fair bit of continuity in the history from the earlier books as well as returning characters, so readers who are unfamiliar with the interrelationships and haven't read the earlier volumes might struggle a bit to keep them straight, otherwise it's self contained and works fine as a standalone.

Four stars, a strong series and a good read. It would make a good choice for a long binge/buddy read. 

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
