I'll be honest in saying that if the story had been set elsewhere, I would probably have given it 4/4.5*but this is set in my home city and the author gives such a vivid description of the people, the streets and buildings, that I was there with all the characters. I really like Lola too as she is a no nonsense woman and not afraid to speak her mind to the hierarchy when she feels an injustice has been done. I learned a bit more about Glasgow and look forward to the next book.

Thanks to Netgalley / Joffe books for the ARC to review.

Thanks to Daniel and NetGalley for allowing me to read Murder on the Clyde prior to the publication date.
Although this is the third book in the series, it is the first that I have read. The title attracted me to the book ( I am watching the white horses on the Clyde as I write this review).

The river Clyde flows through Glasgow with multiple bridges connecting the North and South of the city.
Mainly set along the riverside, the story has exposed the sordid underbelly of society in the city.
There are so many flawed characters and the saying ‘Power Corrupts’ certainly applied to a number of them.

The backdrop to the story involves Police Scotland working closely with a Glasgow Council initiative and an arms- length CCTV service provider, creating endless scope for manipulation and corruption.
The council officials were first in the queue to take the credit for any benefits which the alliance delivered and first to deny responsibility for anything which went wrong.
There were plenty of twists and turns and more than few red herrings before the truth was revealed.

This is the third book in the DCI Lola Harris series. I knew it would be a cracking read as I have the first two books by the author. Lola is going through a time of insomnia so she is drinking far too many energy drinks and she feel it is affecting her work. However, Lola is interested in the case of the Clyde Pusher. Little does she know that she will soon be in charge of this case. Despite, a few people who want to stop her, she takes on the case and decides to bring the case to a conclusion. I love how Lola interacts with people, police or civilians. I found the story to be well written and the location of Glasgow has been well researched and very descriptive. All the strands of the plot lead to a dramatic reveal. I never guessed who was the antagonist. This book was unputdownable!! I will be recommending this book.

#murderontheclyde, 3rd in @danielsellersauthor series featuring DCI Lola Harris, is terrific. The villain remained quite a mystery (ha!) to me until pretty close to the end, but as always, Lola gets her man. Super creepy in some parts, which I appreciated. I really like Lola - she's not super human, she's fallible and real. Enjoyed the alternating POVs, even if I didn't care for the characters (I'm looking at you, Auntie Brenda). Highly recommend.

P.S. Thanks to #netgalley and the awesome @joffebooks for the ARC.

If I had not been pre approved I wouldn't have requested this instalment of the series as I found the first two lacked something. The third was very much the same. I can not decide what it is I don't like about the series but there something that doesn't connect with me. Sorry but I didn't finish this and I won't reading another.

DCI Lola Harris is currently unable to sleep, and relying on multiple highly caffeinated beverages per day to stay awake, when she ends up smack dab in the middle of a crime scene that has strong similarities to a local urban legend: the Clyde Pusher.
Over the last several years, multiple males have been found floating in or washed up on the shores of the Clyde River, all with head wounds, and the majority of them gay. Though Police Scotland says there is nothing linking these deaths, the public is not so sure, and have flagged this the work of a serial killer they call the Clyde Pusher. Is he real, or just a work of the public's imagination? There might be one person who can say for sure; Cameron Leavey claims to have not only witnessed the most recent attack, but recorded it on his phone. He also says The Pusher saw him do it.
As pieces of the puzzle seem to reveal themselves to DCI Harris, she is warned to stay far away from this investigation and keep her mouth shut. We ask ourselves, along with Lola, if she will learn the truth about The Pusher and will she ever sleep again?

I must say, I was a little concerned about reading this after I learned it was #3 in the Lola Harris series, however I was very happy to learn the first two are not prerequisites to be able to enjoy this. (Though I am very interested in Lola's journey, and will probably find my way to the first two books)
Where as it was not the most heart pounding thriller, it zipped right along! It was intricate in plot, but not so much so that it was difficult to read or follow. I enjoyed the time stamps that started each chapter, or as different events unfolded- it very much added to the exhausting pace of Harris' life, knowing she is not sleeping well. The ebook also includes a link to the author's website so you can look up maps of Glasgow in case you are unfamiliar with the area, as I am.

Overall, a very happy introduction for me to author Daniel Sellers. Solid 4 stars.

Thank you to Joffe Books (publisher) and Netgalley for the free copy in return for an honest review.

The first time I have read this Author. I enjoyed the style of writing. A solid four star read. Great premise. Good characters. Page turner. Plenty of suspense to keep me guessing Would definitely read the next novel. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to

Wow! Fantastic read!! This book had a bit of everything! It had suspense, intrigue, action packed, murder, mystery, serial killers, a great who done it and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my kindle! I highly recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading!
Detective Lola is heading back over the river from a rare night out when she spots a crowd of people looking over the parapet. Someone’s gone in. A young man called Cammy witnessed everything. He swears it’s the work of the Clyde Pusher, but is terrified of telling the police. The Clyde Pusher is the stuff of urban legend. A hooded figure who throws men into the river to drown. Eight victims in five years. But according to the police, the Pusher doesn’t exist. There are no reliable witnesses, nothing to link the victims! Thank you Netgalley and Joffe books for sharing this book with me! Can't wait for more!!

if you want a gripping, twisted book showing a toxic relationship full of lies and deception and potential crime cover up this book is for you.

there was a lot of characters to remember so at times it was hard to follow. however the book was gripping, twisted yet written beautifully. the lingo used matches glasgow perfectly so it really sets the scene whilst relatable characters with solid background stories enrich the story even more. i enjoyed the social media inclusion felt very relevant to the times we are in nowadays. every chapter kept me guessing as to who was the killer.
