“Kill Order” by Charlie Flowers | Between the Beats

“Kill Order” by Charlie Flowers | Between the Beats



Jack the
Ripper meets a Bangladeshi Mafia. This is my favorite Riz Sabir adventure so
far. Starting off with a state sanctioned terrorist attack on his wedding day, “Kill
Order” by Charlie Flowers speeds forward with action that left me breathless.
Happily, Holly (Bang Bang) and Riz tie the knot in an almost traditional
ceremony. From there on the plot thickens like a delicious curry of violence
and mystery. Working with the local police Riz, Bang Bang and the delightful Black
eyes work as an efficient team to discover the identity of a wannabe Jack the
Ripper in the community. Interspersed with the thrilling moments of shooting
and bombing is the hilarious experience of watching Bang Bang in her
professional entertainer mode and the touching moment little Daisy shares her
Peppa Pig coloring with Riz. Amidst the fast paced action Riz’s love for his
bride peeks through. In spite of his concerns for her, he allows her to be her
own woman (as if anyone could stop Bang Bang) and that makes him an even more
endearing character. Fuzz is back with her incomparable piloting skills oozing
confidence. East London has never seen the likes of this and Springheel Jack is
probably turning in his grave as the competition blows his series of killings
into the wind. All in all this is an exciting and well written third step in
the Riz and Bang Bang story with a conclusion that left me stunned. I’m hooked
and looking forward to jumping into Book 4, feet first, locked and loaded, and
ready for more action.
