Was it the nightmare that woke Reid or the phone ringing in the middle of the night that brought on the dream?

Sgt. Reid of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police moved his family to Prince Edward Island, “The Gentle Island,” to get away from violent crime and homicides. He had to get away from the nightmares and concentrate on his family before he lost them.

It’s a lovely place to live: The sound of the ocean crashing against sandy beaches, sand dunes covered in tufts of dancing green grass…

…and then there is the young woman hanging from a tree. Blood grows pregnant on her toe. It isn’t such a gentle island any more. Drip

MEET SGT. REID
Recently transferred to the island detachment of the RCMP from the west coast, Reid was one of the few members to investigate a serial killer. Reid knows too well that Canadians are not all apologetic hockey lovers. Some like to kill and evil can live everywhere.

Reid is a husband, father and has been a member of the RCMP for over 20 years. He has been in posts all over the country and was even part of the musical ride for a few years, however has found a place for his investigative talents with the major crimes units. He’s far better at his job than he is at the other two. Something always has to take a back seat.

Get ready for a horrifying ride in this Canadian thriller and suspense novel.

5,0 su 5 stelle A great read!

A compelling story from the start. I cheered for and empathizied with Sgt. Reid in his quest for a killer, shared his angst at the lapses in progress and alternately sympathized with and chastized him for his personal weaknesses that made him so human. There was no certainty of the conclusion until the last pages. truly a great thriller and a memorable character. Thanks for a great read.

5,0 su 5 stelle Suspenseful Mystery Debut...

Beware! Graphically Violent... But a truly remarkable suspense mystery...

I've given warning, so don't buy this book and give it a low rating because it is violent. Readers who buy it will quickly forget (I mean it!) about the violence because the suspense will be killing you...

The novel starts with the main character, Sgt Reid of the Royal Mounted Canadian Police having a dream...

About Chloe...

Another man is obsessed with Chloe! Throughout the novel, both men continuously think about Chloe. I wasn't sure they weren't the same man...

Reid and his family had moved to Prince Edward Island after a major case during which Sgt. Reid had killed a serial killer of children. He had no choice, but since they'd not had enough evidence, nobody was really sure, except Reid, that he killed the right man...even though the murders stopped.

Of course, procedure required that Reid spend time with a psychiatrist, but his wife Hillary was still not sure that he should have continued in RMCP, so Reid had let her believe that he would be more involved with administration in his new job, not on the streets. Which wasn't true...

But when the first body was found, his boss called Reid immediately and assigned him as lead officer. He really didn't have much choice--there was nobody on the Island that had experience!

Reid really did not think he would have to be seeing multiple murders on what was now coined to be Red Island--with the Red Island Killer name for the murderer-- because the killer had contacted a newspaper reporter and said he wasn't stopping until the entire island was covered with blood...and he's be looking for more beautiful women soon, out on the beaches and other places where he could see their tattoos...

Then take them to empty cabins or other housing used by those who came only during the summer...For his...work...

The Killer was very smart and knowledgeable about committing crimes and leaving no evidence. He'd been doing it since he was young and had killed raccoons and other predators on his grandfather's farm, not with a trap, but with a knife and his bare hands...Unfortunately that early positive feedback led him to believe there was no problem with his solving problems with death...especially when he got to school and he began to be physically attacked by bullies...and his mother would say only that he had to learn to stand up for himself...

Readers will move back and forth between the Killer's life and that of Reid, as he gets pulled back into the life of a serial killer who soon knows his name--and that of his family! This is the first in a series...so right now we don't know whether that bit of paranormal dreaming will continue; however, in this novel, the writer uses words from Reid's dream for both men...and it heightens the suspense and spookiness! Yikes!

I think this is a great debut...Reid is a man I'm looking forward to learning more about. I was not impressed with his wife; but am willing to give her a chance to see if she can learn to live with Reid as he is...if not, Reid will go looking even more. I hope she changes! Oliver does an outstanding job of creating the newspaper reporter who "eggs" on anybody and everybody to allow her to use their words against them!

Highly recommended if you can deal with the violence...

Lorne Oliver uses words to paint pictures so raw and intense that there were times when I found them hard to read, but the characters and the story line compelled me to continue on.

Sergeant Reid is a man with a troubled mind. After dealing with a gruesome, haunting case that involved a serial killer in British Columbia, he and his family are emotionally scarred. He transferred to Prince Edward Island, on the opposite end of Canada. Life was quiet there and he thought his family could leave behind the horror of the past and concentrate on healing. But Reid cannot truly bury the past that still haunts him. Both his career and his relationship with his wife have been strained, and he is not on solid ground emotionally.

The peace of the island is shattered when a beautiful young woman is found brutally murdered, hanging naked in a tree in an isolated area. The people in the area are traumatized; Reid's wife is totally freaked and begs him to stay out of the investigation. But Reid's unresolved feelings of guilt fuel the personal, relentless drive that make it impossible for him stay on the sidelines. His determination to find the murderer becomes an obsession and he works nonstop to solve it. Temptation simmers just beneath the surface as he spends so much time with his partner on the job, a beautiful woman who has relationship issues of her own and understands his compulsion. She is a balm to the anger and fear his wife heaps on him.

Oliver gradually reveals the killers mind, portraying the life and the events that led to his instability, turning him into a murderous, psychopathic serial killer, whose arrogance leads him to a point where he taunts Sergeant Reid and puts him and his family at risk.

The book is filled with suspense, and the plot twists and turns, keeping the reader holding his breath, wondering how many more young women will die before the killer is apprehended.

Red Island was a great read: I'll certainly watch for Lorne Oliver's next book!

This books starts with Reid waking up from a nightmare of a girl named Chloe’s death. Just as he wakes up he gets a phone call that leads him to the body of the killer’s first victim. The killer leads him on a chase and you find yourself getting wrapped up in Reid’s thoughts as he chases this killer all over the place.

What I liked: The descriptions in this book are up and beyond! At times I have to say it was a little too descriptive for me. I was like…Wow! Because he describes every detail of stuff to which I only read this book when I wasn’t eating! Lol. His characters are very realistic and driven and keep the story interesting at every turn. You jump between Reid and the killer. I did think to myself one reason why Reid would notice tons of detail was that he was an investigator, so that made sense to me. The killers mind was corrupted, crazy, and lust driven. I found myself getting absorbed in the story, so that I felt like I had to snap out of another world when I had to stop reading. I love books like that!

What I was like meh: It was a bit gritty for my taste. Thus the four stars. A lot of sexual assault, lustful stuff, and swearing. The killer is one messed up dude!! So warning, not for the faint of heart!

I really thought Red Island was excellent though! It was well thought out, character development was great, and overall an excellent story!
