Aldous ‘Al’ Andrews is a psychologist. Having worked on some high-profile murder cases, he’s gained some fame. Now, his own past is in question… Al’s wife Anne and her lover Steve disappeared many years earlier, on a trip to Boston. One of the men he helped put away, a serial killer named Mark Rennie, insists Al killed them. And now DCI Marlin is looking into matters. Just as he’s asking Al some uncomfortable questions, a body is found at a home in Stratford, a home, curiously enough, once owned by Al. But when another body shows up, and Al can’t remember what he did, things are as scary as they were when Rennie was hunting them. But Rennie’s dead, isn’t he? When the body found at Al’s old flat turns out to be a former cop, no one knows what to think. But when bodies start showing up with numbers painted above them, and Marlin discovers the victims are all connected to Al and Rennie, it starts to look like a hit list of some kind. Al and Lara decide to go away for the weekend to escape and when Al is identified by a beautiful woman, Sarah, alarm bells ring, and he knows she is connected to Rennie. But how? And what does she want? As the body count rises, Marlin grows more and more convinced that his friend Al might have a few demons in his own past, especially when Al’s wife Anne and her lover Steve are found dead. But if Rennie is going to be stopped, Marlin needs Al’s help to get inside his mind. All too soon it becomes apparent that Sarah is not just a pretty face. And now that she and Rennie are a couple, who knows what they will do, or if they’ll ever be caught… Written in Blood is a chilling crime thriller filled with dark twists and turns.

Written in Blood A DCI Marlin Thriller David McGlone Books Reviews
Great read is there any way to bring Marlin back he was wearing a bulletproof vest. This needs to continue as a series.
David McGlone wrote an intriguing story that certainly delivered on its promise to be a thrilling rollercoaster bent on dragging you into the darkness full of nerve-wracking intricacies until you look up and realize that you couldn’t put it down until the end.
It has a great story line with a fast paced plot that will rouse and alarm you at various time. It certainly raised the bar from the previous installment when it came to characters and content.
If you’re looking for a new crime writer you should pick up a McGlone unless you’re against books that you won’t be able to put down.
Having read Ashes and Bone, a preceding story, I was disappointed by this sequel. The exaggerations and improbabilities are much too many. It is the horrid gore that holds the story together. This is a book for the reader enchanted by gore and spilled guts&brains. I would have given it two stars considering that the characters are one-dimensional cardboard puppets, and the psychology naive. But the author has better command of English than is normally found in the genre therefore he gained a star based.on that. Needless to say I will read no more McGlone. I read the two sequels to Ashes and Bone the content degenerates into vicious repetitive pulp. But Ashes and Bone is good as a 'first-and-only story' to read. Not so the continuations.
Written in Blood is the third installment of the DCI Marlin Thriller Series by Scottish author David McGlone. DCI Marlin has had help in the past from his psychologist friend, Al Andrews. However, Andrews has been close to several murder scenes, and although he doesn’t want to think that his friend is a murderer, DCE Marlin often wonders. Andrews helped Marlin put away a serial killer named Mark Rennie years before, and Rennie is out for revenge upon all those who were involved in his going to prison. A body is found where everything leads to the victim being Rennie, but it is discovered that the body is that of a former cop and Rennie is alive and well, extracting his revenge. More bodies are discovered, and since Al is close each time, DCI Marlin has to find out whether Rennie or Andrews is doing the killing.
This series is unique, in that Andrews, one of the so-called “good guys,” may be a serial killer in his own right; that is possibly why he seems to be able to see into the mind of other killers and help DCI Marlin find murderers and get them convicted. Normally, the main characters are investigating murders, and aren’t part of the suspect list, but readers will wonder throughout whether Andrews is guilty. It’s hard to determine, since the characters aren’t well-defined; that may be by design to keep up the suspense and add to suspicion.
Because law enforcement is handled differently in the US, this book is interesting in that officers can have a drink while on duty; their procedures are not the same, and their culture is different. These aspects tend to make the novel more interesting. However, because of the cultural differences, some of the scenarios aren’t as clear as they could be.
While the novel is fairly easy to follow, the writing style tends to make some parts a bit difficult to understand. The story is good, but it doesn’t seem to flow like some other thriller books. However, Written in Blood is worth reading, even if it’s just to find out if Al is actually the murderer as opposed to Mark Rennie or someone unknown.
Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.
Is DCI Marlin? I think he had a vest on. I hope there will be a book 3. Marlin needs to come back.
I can't believe this may be the end of the series with Marlin dead. What a Shocker! I'll miss this series.
A man thought dead back with an accomplice more twisted than he. Seeking vengeance for himself and sick thrills for her the whole police department and another couple race to stop the murderous duo. Good psychological thriller
