The Repenting Serpent: A DCI Michael Yorke Novel (DCI Michael Yorke Crime Thriller Book 2) Kindle Edition
A vicious serial killer slithers from the darkness, determined to resurrect the ways of a long-dead civilisation.
When the ex-wife of one of DCI Michael Yorke’s closest allies is left mutilated and murdered, Yorke and his team embark on their greatest test yet. A deeply personal case that will push them to their very limits.
And as Yorke’s team are pulled further into the dark, the killer circles, preparing to strike again.
The Repenting Serpent is a true edge-of-the-seat, nail-biting page turner.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseDCI Yorke and his team are hot on the heels of a sadistic killer, one who thinks he is an Aztec God, one That is bringing the Second Coming, A new world, A world that can only become through human sacrifice!
As Yorke's is trying on to track this killer, A killer who took the life of one of his former cops, more bodies mount, and it appears that this killer is more than just doing this for sacrifice, he nay enjoy it.
The Repenting Serpent is a 5 Star page turner that will leave you on edge until the very end.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2021Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI have researched many religions, and never have I read or seen anything like this. Maybe devil worship comes close. I was caught up in this book from the beginning, and it was hard to put down when I had to. I found it to be very well written , creepy as all get out, but not so outlandish that I couldn't see how a mad mind would be caught up in this way! And at the end of this whirlwind of twists and turns I read the ending and my heart was happy. And it seemed that thongs were as they should be in this type of situation!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseSick,depraved,lunatic, psychopath.. Those are how I describe the actions of the killer.. In the end they got the bad guy, but that's just one of many.. I feel for Ewan.. my heart was in my throat..
- Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2019Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI thought One Last Prayer for the Rays was macabre, but this one is even more so. I would not like to live in the imagination of Wes Markin! The plot is twisted, misinterpretation on the part of the reader adds to suspense, the same characters from book one made it easier to keep up, but I still do not like having the psychopath rejected girlfriend popping up (too deja vu from different authors, Mr. Markin). I give the book 4 stars because I know there are readers who like weird, twisted plot lines; it's just not my preference. Good luck, Mr. Markin!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2021Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is a great book. I was sitting on the edge of my chair most of the time. You want to read the first book first otherwise you might be lost on a few of the characters in the book. This is a stand alone book it's not necessary to read the other book.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseFull of twists and turns, you just cannot put it down. Will definitely keep on with the series. Great read.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseSuspenseful.
Very likable characters.
Lacey Ray helped with a murder investigation? Surprise!
Yorke is a great character.
I will read the next book.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAbsurd plot. The explanation of the Aztec story line was so tedious I skipped whole sections. Won’t read any further books by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great books
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI am really enjoying these books in the Yorke series. This is the 2nd one I have read and they have both been very suspenseful, finding it hard to put down type of books. If you enjoy a brilliant detective story then I highly recommend this series. Brilliant author

Absolutely loved it.

Hurry up book 3!

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark and disturbing but gripping
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWow! What a disturbing yet enthralling read. The subject matter is quite unusual with the murderer thinking he is an Aztec and trying to relive their ancient religious traditions.
This is quite a violent read but in my view, makes it more enjoyable. This time Yorke and his team are personally involved as the first victim is the estranged wife of their colleague. At the same time, Jake is still being taunted by Lacey Ray, following on a theme from the first book.
I highly recommend this book and the series and looking forward to seeing what twisted subject matter comes in the next one.
