One Step Ahead: The gripping crime thriller that flips the game of cat and mouse on its head (Gamekeeper Turned Poacher Book 1)
Denver Murphy, author
Detective Superintendent Brandt has found the perfect murderer. Himself. And he will use his unparalleled knowledge of how to escape detection to kill; again and again, because the people of Britain need awakening from their slumber of indifference, having been desensitised by the violence that is gripping the country. Brandt’s going to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end when you hear footsteps behind you. He’s going to make you look twice at that stranger walking towards you. He’s going to make you afraid for your own safety and those around you. Or he’s going to kill you. But DCI Stella Johnson believes she can catch him. There is no such thing as a perfect murderer; everyone makes mistakes. The crime scenes may be lacking evidence, but each one tells its own story. Aided by her young protege PC McNeil, and with their personal chemistry growing as fast as their working relationship, can she separate the murders’ facts from Brandt’s fiction to uncover the person behind these killings? One Step Ahead takes the classic cat and mouse tale and flips it on its head. The intrigue behind Brandt’s dramatic descent into criminality, and Johnson’s determination to change the game, has captivated readers with its fascinating characters and compelling plot. N.B. Formerly published under the title: Gamekeeper Turned Poacher.

I so enjoyed this book and believe any fans of the genre would too. Creepy and gripping writing, particularly the chapters written through the eyes of the killer. The main characters are well developed and believable and make for an excellent, consistent plot. The writing style reminded me greatly of James Patterson but with a refreshing UK edge and a dose of realism. Highly recommended!

Briar's Reviews

This book is a fascinating thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat!

I really liked this novel, especially since it was refreshing and exciting to read. At every twist and turn I was hooked and wanted more! 

One of the best parts of this novels is the changing point of views. Switching back and forth between Brandt and Johnson with her fellow officers was an excellent way to show both sides of this crime story. I really love a good crime novel that lets you see into the bad guy's point of view and understand his motives, rather than just showing the good guys' point of view the entire novel.

Denver's writing style really matched my reading style with this novel. I highly recommend everyone pick this novel up as soon as possible if you love a great crime drama with a large gallon of suspense and thriller mixed in. 

If anything, the character development of Brandt was the most interesting part of this book, by seeing his background, his motives and his actions. The arc of his character was so addicting, even without all of the crime drama going on around him. He is a bit of a dark character, so if you're light-hearted this story may not be for you! But, it's so worth the read! This wild character is one of the best characters I've seen in quite a while in works of fiction!

I don't have any cons for this novel, because it truly was an epic read. It kept me interested the entire time, the plot was intriguing, the characters had depth, and you will not see the ending coming!

Overall, I highly recommend this book! It's a must read for all crime enthusiasts! 

Five out of five stars!

I received a copy of this novel from the author Denver Murphy in exchange for an honest review.
