Part of a series featuring Detective Danny Flint. A well thought out and engrossing thriller which has plenty of twists to keep you guessing.

WOW!!! Yet another fantastic read by Trev Negus.

The Danny Flint series is absolutely brilliant and well worth a read. Each book keeps you gripped with all the twists and turns!!!

I can't wait to read the 10th book in the series. Keep them coming Trev!!! x

I really enjoyed I ended up giving this one a four star. This is book number nine in the DCI Danny Flint series but it is completely fine to read as a standalone.

I Am Number Four, this is the sentence that a woman manages to say as she stumbles Out of the Woods completely naked with severe injuries. She manages to mouth the words I Am Number Four before collapsing. Danny and his crew are brought in to resolve this crime but they also have another crime which they're also looking into so he's doing a balancing act between these two cases.

I really enjoyed this book and I thought it was brilliantly done. It kept me hooked and it nicely sets up for the next book in the series. I would definitely be curious to read the other books in the series now.

This book is a show stopper - one I would give to my friends. I would buy multiple copies of this book for people! After reading plenty of thrillers it takes a lot these days for me to not work out the ending but this one totally got me.

Wow, it was gripping and intense it pulled me into its riveting pages. Chief Inspector Daniel and his men believed they had a serial rapist on their hands, but that was far from the truth. They needed to up the stakes and catch the killer before he strikes again.

I number four, the words uttered by the woman stumbling out the woods and from start to finish this enthrals and grips you to the point were your turning the last page having not moved all through the read

Highly recommended and as this is set in and around Nottingham for me it makes it even more enjoyable

This is my first introduction to Trevor Negus and DCI Flint. I understand its part of a series however it was ok to read as a standalone. Very good storyline and characters, intriguing, gripping and keeps you reading.

Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for this ARC

I enjoyed this story from start to finish. I give it 5/5 Stars

This is #8 in the DCI Danny Flint series but can easily be read as a standalone.

A woman is found near woods, naked except for a blanket, and with severe injuries. Just before passing out, she managed to speak four words, “I am number four”. DCI Danny and his Major Crimes Investigation Unit are on the case, but if this is number four, who and where are numbers one, two, and three?

Then another woman goes missing, and the team is in a race against time to stop her becoming number five.

An absolutely brilliant, gripping read. I really enjoy the Danny Flint series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Inkubator Books for an advance reader copy in return for an honest review.

DCI Danny Flint is a great main character that I enjoyed reading about in the previous 3 books in the series.

While this one is number 9 , it can still be read as a standalone but i would recommend to read as much as possible before this because you can get a broader picture of the detectives team and their ways of investigation.

Right from the prologue, I knew this story will be different. And I mean different in a good way.

The letter that a dying mother left for her lawyer and what she disclosed while making her brother promise that he will keep her son safe at the farm, intrigued me and I needed to know where everything goes.
Of course that after that prologue I had my theories and I was pretty much on point with them, but that didn’t deter me to enjoy this story fully.

“I am number four “ is an engrossing read with a great detective full of determination and so many twists.

📖Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy

Wow! Great book! Crazy storyline! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, and a serial killer that you kind of feel bad for! The storyline was very very interesting and kept me glued to my Kindle! I highly recommend reading this book! It was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I would like to thank Netgalley and Inkubator Books for an advance copy of I Am Number Four, the ninth novel to feature DCI Danny Flint of Nottinghamshire Police’ Major Crime Investigation Unit, set in 1988.

A badly injured woman steps out of local woods and identifies herself as Number Four before collapsing. This leads DCI Danny Flint to believe that there are previous victims and he may be hunting a killer. Then another woman goes missing.

I enjoyed I Am Number Four, which is a compulsive police procedural on the investigative side, although I was less enamoured by the fact that the perpetrator and his motive are identified early on to the reader. It’s perhaps not as obvious and stereotyped as the usual I was abused as a child trope and because of what it is it is actually harder to believe.

This abduction investigation is the second one the team take on in short order as they are already investigating the murder of a pensioner that bears a strong correlation to one five years earlier. Although the abduction turns out to be the bigger and broader case, the murder is the one that carries political pressure due to the victim’s son being a councillor. I found the senior leadership response fairly typical, short term thinking to appease those who shout loudest. It’s interesting how Danny ignores the pressure and conducts a very professional investigation as the murder enquiry wilts under a lack of clues.

The novel held my attention throughout with its detailed investigation and the story of what happened to the previous abductees. I don’t think that all the abductor’s actions fit with the personality he is given and that spoiled the novel a little for me. I will be interested to see if the implied cliffhanger at the end of the novel is explored further or if it simply one the team chalk up to experience.

I Am Number Four is a good read that I have no hesitation in recommending.

A dying woman makes her brother promise to take care of her mentally challenged son.
She also leaves a letter with her lawyer with explosive details of her son's father.

A woman is found, gravely injured and naked apart from a dirty blanket just outside Beckets woods. When questioned who she is, her response is "I am Number Four"

DCI Danny Flint is investigating the murder of an elderly woman, when his attention is brought to the case of "Number Four".

Women are going missing and Danny Flint is trying to find any clues or witnesses. Until a woman is almost snatched from outside her home, and there are eye witnesses, and the vehicle is described.

Through solid police work and excellent investigation work by his team, the kidnapping cases are solved.

However, the murder of elderly women has only one real forensic clue about the cold blooded killer who strikes with long intervals between murders.

I really enjoyed this novel by Trevor Negus. It kept me on the edge of my seat from the first page.
Absolutely fabulous writing, fast paced and gripping.
Definitely a book that makes one want to read 'just one more chapter'!!
This is the second book I have read by this author and both books have kept me riveted. I definitly recommend.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review.
5/5 stars

I would have submitted this review to Goodreads, but it is not there.

This is the ninth book to feature DCI Danny Flint and the series just keeps improving. A woman, close to death, is found by some railway workers and says "I am number four". Danny and his team race to find out the meaning of the cryptic phrase as another woman is reported missing. The book is expertly crafted and plotted, as well as having plenty interesting characterisation. This is a gripping and suspense filled tale as the team race to find the killer before another body is found. I was engrossed to the last page. I highly recommend this series to readers of crime thrillers, it's one of the best in the genre. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

DCI Flint is called to the death of a woman, who it turns out had connections in the force. But being told to focus all his attention on the case causes a problem for him, as an abduction case has a disturbing twist. The abductee, before succumbing to her injuries, says ‘I am number four’.

DCI Flint has to persuade the powers that be that this could be more than a simple abduction.

An enjoyable, disturbingly believable, novel about the way police work probably really is done, and which keeps the reader fully absorbed.

I really enjoyed this one.
