Come to Kill

The Sergeant Frank Hardy Mysteries, Book 8

By: Wendy M. Wilson

Narrated by: Sam Devereaux

He's all that's standing between his family and a hired assassin. And he's unarmed.

After Sergeant Frank Hardy watches the invasion of a peaceful Māori village by the Armed Constabulary, with crops destroyed and innocent men imprisoned, he lays down his rifle and swears never to shoot in anger again. Then he learns that a contract killer has come from America to avenge the death of a crooked detective from San Francisco. The killer is targeting the Hardy family. Can Frank save his wife and children without relying on his weapons?

This eighth book in The Sergeant Frank Hardy Mysteries hits all the high points of the previous seven: A showdown in the dangerous Manawatu Gorge; a kidnapping or two; murders; some new and some returning characters, including a giant Māori warrior and a mysterious major; and a battle on home ground.

Lots of action!

An action-packed story in the series with a few too many twists in the plot. It sounds like Sergeant Frank is hanging up his holster, and his father will be featured in the next book. I truly enjoy these books set in New Zealand in the late 19th century. Sam Devereaux does a very good job with the narration of the audiobooks.
