The Gift of Death

Nick Sullivan Thrillers, Book 4

By: Karla Forbes

Narrated by: Craig Bowles

When Nick Sullivan is sent to Uganda for a routine assignment, he doesn’t expect trouble but news of his arrival has preceded him and someone wants him dead. His enemies are powerful people and in a country where life is cheap, he is soon fighting to survive. He doggedly battles on, refusing to acknowledge the danger but when his stubbornness causes the death of an innocent woman, he has no choice but to concede defeat and return to Britain.

Eaten up with guilt, he sets himself the task of finding out who betrayed him and bringing them to justice. When he finds himself thwarted by a government cover-up, his thirst for revenge becomes an all consuming obsession that endangers everyone around him.

Good solid thriller

** spoiler alert ** The fourth in a long series featuring Nick Sullivan, in my opinion is not one of the best of those I have read so far, which are Fallout, The Third Wave and Sniper.
I was loving the Uganda part, even the gruesome parts of it, enjoyed the new addition of Tom, Nick’s brother but I didn’t enjoy so much the rest of the book. I am not saying is is bad, it has the same writing style, the same characters, with some new, which are part of this storyline, there is plenty of action, but I found Annalise to be a little annoying, too much nagging and just getting in the way, so if you can get over that bit the book is another good fast paced thiller with Nick getting up to al sorts of dangerous stuff in Uganda and London.

Wow!!!

Karla Forbes grabbed my attention with The Gift of Death. The story starts out explosive and continues nonstop. At times some of the descriptions were a little too vivid for me. I have enjoyed the Nick Sullivan series, but this one had a scene that was very difficult for me. Craig Bowles was awesome performing this book. He added the right emotions.
