Danger by Association (The Riverhill Trilogy Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Heather Burnside (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 1,363 ratings
Five years after the traumatic events witnessed by Rita and Yansis in Manchester, the couple finally agree to return with their young son, Daniel, to attend her brother John's wedding to the beautiful Paula.

But memories are long on the Riverhill Estate, and when Daniel goes missing, Rita realises she has many enemies with a motive for taking her child. Once more she faces a race against the clock to unmask the perpetrators, but this time she has help in the shape of her Special Task Force brother, John.

John has his own – very personal – reasons for being so deeply affected by Daniel's disappearance; a scene he witnessed in the war in Iraq means he is prepared to risk everything he holds dear, including his reputation, to track down his sister's son.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating
    Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2016
    For the past five years Rita has been living in Greece with her husband Yansis and young son Daniel. But now her brother John is getting married, and Rita has reluctantly returned to Manchester for the event. She is determined to enjoy the trip, and above all to steer clear of the city’s Riverhill Estate where the tumultuous events of the prequel, A Gangster’s Grip, took place.

    However, when Daniel faces mortal danger, she has no choice but to return to the area and confront her past. Will Rita be able to save her son in time? Sources of potential salvation include John, but there is a conflict of interest as he is in law enforcement.

    Danger by Association is the final part of a Manchester-based crime trilogy. Fast-paced, realistic and compelling, it effortlessly captures the zeitgeist of the 1990s. In addition to vibrant and vivacious protagonist Rita and her dependable friend Julie, the book boasts an array of new colourful, contrasting and convincing characters.

    By skilfully blurring the divisions between victim and perpetrator the author, as in the first two instalments, successfully elicits sympathy for several of the book’s more unsavoury specimens.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Unsavoury characters and red herrings
    Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2016
    I’ve puzzled over writing this review for Danger by Association as it’s tricky to write without giving spoilers, both to this story and to those that have come before in the series. So, bearing that in mind, and treading carefully, here we go.

    Danger by Association is set 5 years on from A Gangster’s Grip. Rita, her husband Yansis and son Daniel have returned to Manchester to celebrate her brother John’s wedding to Paula.

    Rita is keen to keep away from the Riverhill Estate not wanting some that live there to hear of her return or, more particularly, to know that Daniel is back.

    However, after a major incident in the city centre Daniel is hospitalised and separated from his parents. No longer able to protect him, he disappears.

    John, a policeman, gets involved in the case, managing to put his career on the line in the process and there are red herrings to lead all astray.
    I particularly liked the parts written about Daniel and Maurice, an unsavoury character, and Burnside depicts their plights well. She even managed to make me feel sympathy towards someone I really shouldn’t feel any towards at all.

    I couldn’t help feel that there would have been a lot more action about the disappearance of a child by way of media coverage and more interaction with the police but as this was set in 1996 perhaps not.

    All in all this is a well told tale, tidily written and very well presented. I should also add that the eye-catching cover is excellent and suits the contents very well.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2016
    I had read the first two books and thoroughly enjoyed them but I was disappointed with this one. It did not hold my attention at all and the story was not a patch on the previous ones. However I do like the author and will try other books of hers.

    This was the third book in a series about a Manchester family and I thought all 3 were an enjoyable read. This one was good and kept you wanting to turn the page to find out what happened next. I will definitely read more books from this author .
