The Butterfly Wheel by Keith Short


Description from Goodreads:

"Jake Vickers lives life in the fast lane. He works hard, leads a frenetic social life and has a reputation as a womaniser. Everything is going for him…until a motorcycle accident leaves him wheelchair-bound.

With the help of his regular partner, Everly, he rebuilds his life – yet he can’t resist philandering again and this time, there are consequences…

He attracts a stalker, and while at first it seems innocuous it becomes macabre when first one casual girlfriend and then another is viciously murdered. Jake is now in the frame as prime suspect. He is struggling to keep the police at bay and, if he can’t clear his name soon, imprisonment for murder is looking likely. Life is worse than ever, until, out of the blue…

Help appears from the most surprising quarter. Everly shows skills he didn’t know she had. The three of them together can prove his innocence – but only by uncovering the killer’s identity…

The hunt is on for the sinister and elusive predator known as Mannequin."

A really good and engaging thriller.

Jake's a bit of a lad and a horrific motorbike accident doesn't seem to change much however, when women he meets and show an interest in him are murdered, he becomes the prime suspect.  Facing a multiple murder charge, Jake needs all the help he can get if he's not going to be staring at the inside of a cell for the majority of his life.

With some great characters (not all of them particularly likeable), a growing sense of tension and some great twists and turns, the Butterfly Wheel develops into a really good and engaging thriller and my thanks go to the author and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this book.
