Sheer Fear Jack Lockwood Mystery Series Book 3 edition by Geoffrey David West Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
Sheer Fear is the third mystery novel in the Jack Lockwood Mystery Series.Lockwood is the British equivalent of an American criminal profiler. He is unwillingly dragged into bizarre circumstances where it appears that half of Britain is trying to kill him. First his half-brother is accused of rape and murder, his girl friend steals something from the mob and leaves Jack holding the bag, a colleague at Jack's publisher is obsessed with his ruination and powerful people trying to cover up unspeakable crimes against children, are all trying to kill him.
West has taken three major plot lines and wound them up into a blockbuster of a story. He has created in Jack Lockwood a humble, likable character that I immediately identified with.
West is an accomplished story tell with an incredible imagination. I was in awe of how he juggled multiple plots, kept them tightly wound from cover to cover.
I loved this book. I loved the writing. The only bad part is having to wait for the next one.

Sheer Fear Jack Lockwood Mystery Series Book 3 edition by Geoffrey David West Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I'd like to start by saying that the opening chapter is one of the best I've read for this sort of book - in fact it ought to be used in creative writing classes as an example of how to write the first chapter of a thriller. Suspense, danger, a guy wrongly accused of murder, it's got the lot!
This is one of those fantasy crime thrillers, more of a cross between 24 and Jonathan Creek (if you can imagine such a thing) than a realistic crime story like, for instance, George Gently. Its hero is fazed by nothing and no-one, flits across Europe to uncover mysteries in the way one might pop down to the shops, yet retains a rather naive (occasionally bumbling, even) attitude, especially towards relationships with the opposite sex, which might be part of his charm. He's your typical crime solving maverick, the guy whose methods are not orthodox but no-one can deny that he gets results. It's a good story of its type, well written. There are some well illustrated minor characters, too, namely Stephen Romsey and Veronica Dashwood.
I was interested in this book because of its theme of an historic child abuse cover up at the highest levels - very current, and I wanted to see how it would be handled. For me, there was not quite enough resolution about the conspiracy, but I'd still say that if you like this sort of book you'll enjoy this. And Jack Lockwood lives to fight another day - just!
Interesting series. Has done well in its genre.
Fast and interesting plot.
Okay, I admit I'm biased - I'm a big Jack Lockwood fan - but I really enjoyed this latest in the series so much. It's such a page-turner and there is so much action, I found myself holding my breath on almost every page.
If you've read the other two books, you'll know Jack Lockwood is a thoroughly nice guy in the same sort of mould as Dick Francis heroes. The main difference is he is not very lucky in love, but that just gives him some extra poignant charm. I agree with one of the other reviewers here that the opening chapter is one of the best, most gripping beginnings I've ever read. Jack is high above the ground clinging to a crane and trying to persuade David, his friend and relative, to come down so he, Jack, can help him clear his name. From this point on, Jack is hounded by drama as three different plots weave their way in and out of his life, all of them bringing him into extremely dangerous situations. These include his investigation into a high level child abuse case, his accidental link to a bullion robbery that brings him both love and tragedy, and a homicidal girl intent on getting revenge for something Jack definitely hasn't done. None of this is helped by his rather on/off relations with the police and his equally on/off love life.
All the same, Jack skillfully fends of the baddies in a series of nail-biting fast action scenes where he manages to dodge death with almost incredible luck. However, when you realise how wise he is to the psyche of murderers and criminals - being a psychological profiler - then it makes sense that he can often anticipate what is going to happen. Some of the dramas that ensue, though, are often the result of a certain naîve side he has that believes if he is nice to the criminals, they'll be decent to him. Quite clearly it doesn't work out that way.
Shear Fear is a serious roller-coaster reading ride and you really, really won't want to put it down. Well done, Geoffrey West! This was a rollicking good read and just what I needed.
