I really makes my mind boggle how these authors can come up with intricate plots. There's a lot going on in the background with people dying and disappearing, the main characters brother is in jail for trying to kill her, while the main story seems to be about people smuggling for a prostitution ring. Eventually it becomes clear how these are all intertwined. A good read.

This is the 3rd book in the D I Dani Stephen's series and it is even better as the previous two. I love the way Rob draws the reader in, and keeps you glued until the end. Recommended, and I can't wait for the next one!

Great thriller which kept me turning the pages well into the night. Great characters and plot. Highly recommend to others!!

This is the 3rd book in the D I Dani Stephen's series and it is as good as the other two . This was fast paced from the beginning and had such a good and realistic storyline that me hooked all the way through . I really love the character Dain Stephens and she is becoming one of my favourite characters . I am so glad I started this series and hope there is another book to come

Book #3 in the Dani Stephens series finds our DI trying to put her life back together after the horrendous crimes committed against her and her boyfriend in the first two books. It could be read as a stand alone, the main sections are all new but the back stories carry threads from the first two books throughout. All three books are 5 star intense police procedural/ thrillers. The interactions between DI Stephens and her twin brother Ben, convicted of trying to kill her in book #1 are enough to keep any reader turning pages as fast as you can.

This story finds Dani and her police partner, DS Eaton, investigating the suicide/ murder of a woman believed to be involved with a particularly nasty Romanian gang that has no limits on their criminal activities. If it will make them money and cause other people misery, they will do it. The investigational portion of the book is interesting and engrossing. Dani and Easton both have personal problems that interfere with their duties, but still manage to catch the bad guys in the end. A very good read.

I am not sure really what to think I didn't like the characters not even one of them. The writing style was great and the pace was great. Story was good for me but it wasn't necessarily well suited to me.

Don't get me wrong it was very well written and I think for most it would be amazing just maybe I wasn't in the mood for this style.

DI Dani Stephens returns to investigate the body of a woman on a bathtub. Appears to be suicide, but then it is discovered the woman has been using an alias and now points to murder and a world of organised crime and human trafficking. Another great read by Rob Sinclair.

This is the third book in the Sinclair series. As I’ve joined the series with this book, I would recommend reading the first books as they’re references to things that happened in previous books. 

I wasn’t particularly bothered about the plot - it felt slow paced much of the way through and I didn’t connect or have any interest over what was happening. If it wasn’t for the characters, I wouldn’t have got to the end, as they were so easy to connect to. Although I didn’t care much for the plot I cared about what happened to the characters, and that’s what kept me reading, to follow their journey and discover what happened next with them.

A really solid 'go to' author who always produces an engaging thriller and this is no exception.
Excellently written, this is a police procedural novel with several twists and just a hint of the macabre this time.
We are also updated on the strong back story involving Dani and her home life and I found myself rooting for her..
Looking forward to the next one.

This third book in the series, also takes a look at hidden secrets and what we think is the truth is something far far different. This mystery starts off a bit different- it appears to be suicide, but what is found in the apartment of the victim, makes the crime scene techs think otherwise and Dani agrees when she sees the scene. But as they delve more into the pictures they find, Dani has to confront not only her recent past, but also her brother, who she may need help from the solve this mystery. This third book gives us more insight in Dani's inner character, and really helps the reader feel more understanding for her and by the time the book takes off on it's roller coaster of a 2nd half, you're hooked on the story and may find yourself reading long into the night!

Great read!
Dani is called to a possible homicide, with her partner Easton. It appears to be suicide - until they uncover the woman's obsessive search for her missing brother. This leads Dani and Easton into the world of human trafficking.
Ana was brought to England years before and became the boss' personal pet. Can she escape? Will she help the police discover the truth?
Meanwhile Jason continues his recovery. Easton experiences some issues with his sister, who still lives him as well as her children.
Solid addition to the series.

Echoes of Guilt by Rob Sinclair is the third book in Detective Dani Stephens series and I was hooked from the very first few pages. This book opens with a woman who is found drowned in her bath, with half a bottle of vodka and a packet of pills beside her. It all looks like a suicide at first. Detective Dani Stephens and Detective Sergeant Easton are called to investigate, when they and their team start to investigate they find evidence suggests that the woman was murdered. As they look deeper into this now murder of the woman in th bath they come across a world of organised crime where people are willing to kill for their secrets! More bodies are discovered.

Are Detective Dani Stephens and Detective Sergeant Easton and their team going to catch this ruthless killer before they kill again?

Who is he or she?

This book is great, and can be creepy at times, it's full of twists and turns throughout that will have you guessing right till the end,

I highly recommend this book and all these books in this series! Excellent read as always

Books in the Detective Dani Stephens. series in order.

Big thank you to NetGalley, Canelo and the author Rob Sinclair for my ARC in exchange for an honest review

#EchoesofGuilt #NetGalley I do like this series, it is fast paced, gritty with plenty of action. Dani is a great character and I love the side story line with her twin brother. I have read the others in this series but I think it is quite capable of being read as a standalone, although having the background to Dani and Ben certainly adds another dimension. Very easy to read, I didn't want to put this down and read it in just over a day. Looking forward to the next in this series.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of Echoes of Guilt.

I enjoyed the first two books in the series so I was pleased when my request was approved.

DI Dani Stephens is back. Some time has passed after the traumatic cliffhanger of the end of the second book.

Dani's kind and supportive boyfriend, Jason, is on the mend after being mortally wounded by a serial killer Dani is convinced was motivated to kill by her dastardly evil brother, Ben.

Dani has moved out of the home she once shared with Jason (bad memories) and into a new place closer to her disgruntled sister-in-law and the niece and nephew she wishes she had more time for.

As the trial of the serial murderer wraps up in court, the suspicious death of a woman pulls Dani into a dangerous world of human trafficking, sexual abuse and violence and new suspicions that her brother has his hand in a lot of pies.

I like Dani more and more in each book, and her rapport and professional rapport with her partner, Easton is developing well.

The plot wasn't bad, but I wasn't emotionally involved or connected because it sounded familiar from books I've read before.

I just enjoyed reading about Dani's crime solving skills, her competence and determination in doing a good job, protecting the innocent and saving as many people as she can.

The book did end on a positive note, which was great.

It's December and Dani and Jason attend mass where the vicar mentions in his sermon that regret is not something with negative connotations but an opportunity to do better, to look forward and learn from the past and be hopeful for the future.

I look forward to the next book in the series.

This is the third book in the series and having really enjoyed the previous books I was disappointed. Great character development and a gripping and suspenseful plot.

Absolutely brilliant psychological thriller! I was gripped from the first page . D.I Dani Stephens is an instinctive and insightful character . This is book 3 in the series but stands alone . However I loved the character so much I'm immediately going to buy books one and two! Dani is still bearing the scars, physical and mental from a previous investigation which has left her boyfriend in intensive care facing a slow and tortuous recovery. As the body count climbs, Dani can't shake off the fear that her murderer brother , Ben, who tried to take her life, is somehow behind the killings. This is a very intelligent, well researched book which will delight fans of Angela Marsons and Faith Martin. Highly recommend

Echoes of Guilt is the latest in this series I believe but I have not read the others but it worked very well as a standalone novel.

This is an interesting police drama which unusually shows the detective intent on blaming the most heinous of crimes on her twin brother!

The plot is interesting and has many twists, in some of which the reader is ahead of the police willing them to notice various facts. It is quite compelling but the allusions to the supernatural and creepiness of situations didn't really work for me.

The characters were well portrayed and we see glimpses of the personal lives of the two main detectives which adds realism.

I'll be looking to read more by Rob Sinclair now that I have found him so my thanks to Netgalley.

I was excited to read this book having loved the sleeper series. I found this one a little harder to get into but once the story got going there were plenty of twists and relationships between characters to keep the mind bending. I enjoyed my first introduction to the main character, Dani, and look forward to reading other books in this series to learn more about the events that shaped her. I wasn’t a fan of the creepy, ‘weird feelings’ elements in the story but overall a good detective novel. Thank you to Netgalley for the advance copy of this book.

The series just gets better and better!

DI Dani Stephens and her partner, DS Aaron Easton are leaving the court where the trial of Damian Curtis is underway. She’s angry because the CPS barrister Lloyd Barker is not challenging Iona O’Hare (Damian Curtis’ lawyer) about her twin brother’s possible encouragement for Curtis to commit the six murders for which he’s standing trial. Dani, thanks to her Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is still unable to come to terms with her brother, who caused the injury.

Their plans for leaving the courthouse and returning to their station are scuppered when she receives a call asking them to attend a suspicious death—a woman found in a bath. The discovery will be the beginning of an extraordinarily complex case involving trafficked women, a man missing for five years and possibly even a link – to her brother Ben.

This was a challenging read from my point of view because it involves the trafficking of young girls. I have an intense loathing for traffickers. Even just reading about them in fiction makes my blood pressure rise. But that proves how astute the writing is. I HAD to continue to get to the end to find out whether Dani Stephens and her team can crack the case. The best way to describe the storyline is I felt that Dani Stephens and her team had been handed a jigsaw puzzle and they had to complete it to find all the pieces as quickly as possible.

There are plenty of police procedure authors for readers to choose from. However, Rob Sinclair’s DI Dani Stephens is fast becoming my favourite. The series brings us, the audience into aspects of crimes we would typically not hear or think about.

I’ve followed Rob Sinclair from the very beginning of his career and can highly recommend the Sleeper, Enemy and James Ryker series. When Dani Stephens first made her appearance, I was somewhat apprehensive. A woman detective after the international crime? Could any writer carry this off? Oh Yes! Rob Sinclair has a gift to write books across an extraordinarily broad spectrum. I can’t wait for the next book in this series – I’d like to see Dani solve even more horrific crimes – hopefully without her, her team or people she loves getting injured!
