Author’s Bio
Rob is married to Karen with two grown up daughters. He is originally from South Wales and after moving around with work settled in North Lincolnshire where he’s spent the last twenty-two years.
Like all good welsh valley boys Rob worked for the National Coal Board after leaving school at sixteen and went to University at the tender age of twenty-three when the pit closures began to bite. Since then he’s worked in a variety of manufacturing and consulting roles both in the UK and abroad.
It took Rob twenty-four years to write his first book. He only became serious about writing it when his dad got cancer. It was an aggressive illness and Rob gave up work for three months to look after him and his mum. Writing Those That Remain became his coping mechanism. After he wrote the book his family encouraged him to continue, so not being one for half measures, Rob got himself made redundant, went self-employed so he could devote more time to writing and four years later the Mechanic Trilogy is the result.
When he is not writing, Rob is a frustrated chef with a liking for beer and prosecco, and is known for occasional outbreaks of dancing.
Rob published the Mechanic Trilogy with Bloodhound Books in 2017 and will be releasing three new books during 2018. These are titled: Faceless, This Little Piggy and Suspended Retribution.
My Review
5 Stars
DI Rosalind Kray has just returned to work after a devastating attack that has left her broken inside and out. Her co-workers question if she should be back at work and make her life more of a hell than it was before returning to work. We don’t really know what it is right away but we learn more the further we read. It broke my heart to learn of her loss.
Kray is sent on a call about a horrible smell and discovers the rotting body of a murdered woman. It seems there is a serial killer of increasing depravity on the hunt. I swear Ashman’s serial kills are some of the best and most horrific that I have read. I love them all and hope no one in real life is this bad.
This is another great story from Rob Ashman that will suck you in, leave you rolling in horror and blood, and not let you go until the end. I love Ashman’s books and recommend anyone that loves a good, bloody, and gory thriller to check them out. They are some of the top thrillers that I have read.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.
I would like to thank Bloodhound Books for the opportunity to read and share this book.
