This is an action packed, fast paced and intriguing book. It is thrilling, has plenty of twists and turns and will make you sit up and take notice. This book is a page-turner you won't be able to out down! A great setting in the picturesque landscape of the South Downs Sussex seaside town of Eastbourne you can feel as if you are there (even though you may not want to be!).

A well written and interesting read. Loved the characters and loved the depiction of DI Rutherford Barnes and the characters, setting and story all worked very well together to make an unforgettable read.

Thank you NetGalley and Joffe Books for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

A great installment to this series. A fantastic story which gets all tied up by the end. So many twists during the story. A great story.

What a fantastic addition this is to the DI Rutherford Barnes series! I was immersed from the start, right until that unexpected ending which left me gasping out loud! Filled with interesting characters, drawn together neatly, makes this the best in the series and I can't wait to find out what happens next for Barnes. So many twists and turns, a fascinating plot, a bent copper or two and all tied up neatly at the end. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

Five Names by Adam Lyndon is a gripping crime mystery that was completely unputdownable.
The story moves on at a reasonably fast pace, keeping the reader total involved.
The author certainly knows how to grab the reader’s attention and draw them in.
This is a well written story with relatable characters.

Thank You NetGalley and Publisher for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

I love Detective Barnes. This is such a great police procedural series! This was such a roller coaster ride I stayed up till 1am reading this book because I had to know how it ended. I really enjoyed the alternating chapters. Five Names is your next read!

Thank you, Net Galley, the author, and the publisher, for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

When DI Rutherford Barnes recieves a note consisting of a list of 5 names he is somewhat perplexed. Two of the named are dead and now people are being found murdered....

I love a good Police procedral read and this book is good.I loved the drama and their are twists with some red herrings.

It is pacy and brilliantly written and I highly recommend for fans of this genre..

Another excellent read in the DI Rutherford Barnes series. It starts with a suicide and a list of five names. Then the gruesome murders begin, and they are all on the list. Added into the mix is a drug haul and a bent copper. At first I wasn't sure how much of this extra information was really necessary, but Lyndon is an excellent writer, and he ties it all in. At the very end there's an unexpected twist that will definitely have me waiting impatiently for the next book. I really recommend starting at the beginning of the series as it will help the reader with the cast of characters and their stories. 4 out of 5 stars for me.

Thank you to the author, Joffe publishers, and NetGalley for the eARC in return for my unbiased review.

Five unrelated names. A suicide. A dead body. And a list of five names is the only clue DI Rutherford Barnes has in this complicated case. Barnes and his team rush to find the men who are named on the list but they are petty criminals and drug dealers who don’t want to be found. That doesn’t work in their favor. Street cameras are analyzed, witnesses are tracked down, car registrations are checked as Barnes comes closer to a solution, a solution that may reach someone close to him. Alternating chapters tell the story of two boys who become friends despite their very different backgrounds. One comes from an upper middle class family, the other from a poor home with an alcoholic, physically abusive background. Their adventures together hint at what their futures may be.

Adam Lyndon, a serving police officer, delivers another excellent police procedural in the Rutherford Barnes series. Suspense builds slowly in this complex plot as the frustrated search for potential victims continues. Super character development, especially Duke Kenley, and a gritty location add to this deliberately slow-paced thriller. 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Joffe Books and Adam Lyndon for this ARC.

Detective Barnes is investigating a spate of brutal murders.
He believes that there is a serial murderer, and finds a common link between the victims.

This is the fifth book in the Detective Barnes series.
I wish I had read the first four before diving into this one, so I could get the back story of the detective.
The book was gripping, and gory, and reminded me of books by Chris Carter.
There were twists and lots of action in this book.
I would read this again if I get to read the first four, I would have enjoyed it more.
However, I do recommend this book.

This police procedural, based in the South East of England, is part of a series and the first book I have read in the series.

Reflecting back, the plot is good, but the pace was slow and it took such a long time to really get into the grit of the story, that I was bored and past caring about what happened. The writing was a little bland and there wasn't any excitement to grab my attention.

The ending brought everything together nicely and earned it an extra star for my review, I just wish the road to that point had been more interesting.

This may appeal more to other readers, who have read earlier books in the series, but it didn't work for me.

3 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, Adam Lyndon and Joffe for an ARC in return for an honest review.

One cryptic note. Five names. Two of those names are already dead! Good book! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, a great who done it and a few crazy twists and turns. The story was interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
