Scotland Yard Murder Squad Series Download Torrent Full

It appears that the Murder Squad series has crashed and burned.
One of the things I enjoyed most about the first two novels in this series was the character studies of those involved with or related to Scotland Yard's Murder Squad, especially detectives Walter Day and Nevil Hammersmith, forensic pathologist Dr. Bernard Kingsley, and his daughter Fiona. Here the spark that lit up each of the characters is absent. The relentless undercurrent of the story - the fact Walter Day is anxious about his i...more

“The Devil's Workshop” is the third novel in the Scotland Yard Murder Squad series and this time the story starts off with a prison break wherein a select number of dangerous prisoners are allowed to escape, one of these prisoners was the murderous tailor Cinderhouse, from “The Yard” and now another gruesome killer, the Harvest Man, is on the loose as well as a mysterious prisoner who was being held in underground catacombs and continuously tortured for over a year. His identity and how he came...more

Great read! The villains where brilliant as well as the usual characters and atmospheric setting. I enjoyed it more because it featured a certain, ah, 'saucy' someone haha. Plus the ending was left open...

The best book in the series so far!
I'm not generally one for mysteries, but there's something about those set in a historical period that keeps me coming back for more. I discovered Alex Grecian a few years ago when I won book 1 of The Murder Squad series in a Goodreads giveaway, and I've been anxiously awaiting each installment since then.
The series is set in London following the Jack the Ripper murders and follows the changes to Scotland Yard after the horrific murders. Namely, the formation...more

3-1/2 stars: I'm a fan of the Murder Squad books and had high expectations for this book. I was so excited when I got an advanced reader's copy to review. While I did ultimately end up enjoying this book a lot, in many ways it wasn't quite up to par with the other two books in the series. The other books were detective stories with Day and Hammersmith working with Dr. Kingsley to solve cases and catch criminals. This book was more a thriller than anything else. There was no real case to solve, o...more

First let me assure that The Devil's Workshop is a good, thrilling read, and a four-star rating by definition means 'really liked it.' Alex Grecian has created a series featuring Walter Day of the newly formed Murder Squad of Scotland Yard, a specialized squad introduced into the Yard in response to the lingering evil of Jack the Ripper and its release of murderous activity among the London population of 1890. Inspector Day is paired with Sergeant Nevil Hammersmith in this series, and their work...more

The third book in Alex Grecian’s Murder Squad series and another brilliant read. Once again we follow the story of our beloved characters as they deal with trouble in Victorian London. This time, however, they’re not digging to the bottom of a murder instead they are chasing criminals who have escaped from prison. Through this we see old and new villains alike as they try to avoid the Murder Squad and being sent back to prison.
I will admit that I was a bit put off by the notion of Jack the Rippe...more

I love a dark, gritty Victorian crime novel, but for me this one fell somewhat short of the previous books in this series. It was a bit more 'in your face' for lack of a better term and lacked the nuance and depth of the previous novels. The plot did not feel as well developed and though one should expect a fair amount of gore in a book that includes Jack the Ripper as a central character, it felt somewhat gratuitous at times, as if the goal was shock rather than suspense. It did, however, leave...more

Shelves: mysteries, historical-fiction, 2017-goal

Creepy, evil, dark and full of mid-19th century London ambiance including several chapters below ground. This is definitely my favorite entry of the series so far and I predict the next will be as dark as this one.
One warning-- of all the series, this is the goriest and not for the faint of heart. Well-written but violence and sadism runs amok.
All your favorite characters are here (although not nearly enough Hammersmith) plus a few evil convicts on the run to keep the Murder Squad inspectors h...more

In 1890, a prison break releases several vicious murderers onto the streets of London and all available police are gathered to catch the escapees. The fledgling murder squad is no exception and so previous series regulars Detective Walter Day and Sergeant Nevil Hammersmith join the hunt. They soon discover a mysterious organization has been taking justice into their own hands and their inept actions have not only led to the prison break but also the escape of a mysterious prisoner of their own b...more

Mar 04, 2018Ashley Marsh rated it really liked it

While I feel that this is a definite departure from the first two books, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. The writing, as always, was simple and easy to follow. There weren't really any surprises or plot twists in this, and I felt completely disconnected from Day and Hammersmith, so there are definitely things lacking in this installment. I loved reading about Jack, but I'm hoping for a return to the feel of the first two books as I move on in the series. It was a quick, fun read. I enjoyed it.

Mar 02, 2014Ronna rated it it was amazing

This third Scotland Yard Murder Squad Mystery is especially enjoyable. I am definitely not a fan of horror stories, but this book was very earnie, dark and compelling, drawing me into the plot almost immediately. Grecian has given Jack the Ripper a new start on his reign of murder and evil, giving him almost the persona of the antichrist. The literal underground of London added great historical interest to the plot also.
This book stands alone just fine, but I am personally glad that I read the...more

I received this book for free as part of a Goodreads giveaway. I've read the first of the Murder Squad series (unfortunately I ran out of time to read the second before the third arrived), and I do think the characters have been developed well. In reading this installation I also think that the author has worked hard to establish a series of dependable, likeable characters. With 'The Devil's Workshop', the entire story takes place over what seems to be roughly a day, and there is a lot of action...more

Apr 18, 2014Brittany rated it it was amazing

I loved The Devil’s Workshop, placed in 1890 London; this tale follows Detective Walter Day and Detective Nevil Hammersmith as they hunt down a group of escaped murders. Full of secret societies, Saucy Jack, deviant law men, pregnant wives with babies on the way, hidden tunnels, botched plans, and copious twists turns, and one must not forget about the delightfully evil villains, Grecian brings London’s streets alive. I have always liked the tales of Jack the Ripper, but haven’t found fiction th...more

I devoured this book in about two days, holding my breath all the way with suspense. I loved the first book in the series, but thought the second one was a bit weaker. I'm glad to see that Grecian is back to form, creating some great characters and sweeping plot lines. Warning: There are many very gruesome scenes in this book, but what can you expect from a novel about Jack the Ripper and a few other murderers? It pulled me in right from the start, and I really needed to know that all of my favo...more

Another good installment in the Scotland Yard Murder Squad series. In this one, we are introduced to two new villains; Jack the Ripper and someone called The Harvest Man. An old nemesis comes back as well. Detective Day and his stalwart companion Hammersmith must race against the clock and round up four murderers who have escaped from jail. But was this jailbreak an accident, or a coincidence? A good read!

Jack is back! And he's far more metaphysical than you might have expected London's most notorious serial killer to be.
I never got a galley for the second book in the series, so it's been a while, but I didn't feel like I was missing anything by not reading it. That's in stark contrast with The Long Mars, which I picked up and was completely overwhelmed by. I guess what I'm saying is that it works as a stand-alone, which is never a bad thing.
The story starts with a prison break that doesn't quite...more

Scotland Yard’s “Murder Squad” is still in its infancy; undermanned and sometimes untrained, they are not doing their job with the expediency some citizens expect. This small group of citizens takes it upon themselves to capture criminals and mete out their own brand of justice – namely making them suffer in the same manner as the victims. Their own plan, however, is also moving along a little more slowly than they anticipated so they hatch a scheme to get more criminals at one time. Arranging,...more

Apr 21, 2014Ariel rated it it was amazing

This is the third entry into the Scotland Yard Murder Squad series and in my opinion the best one yet. You really want to read these books in order because the third book revisits a nemesis from book one, a thoroughly nasty child killer who goes by the name of Cinderhouse. Thanks to a spectacular prison break he is on the loose in London along with a handful of other psychopathic killers who include non other than Jack the Ripper himself. Jack is portrayed as a sort of Hannibal Lector, a crimina...more

Ok... that's it. Am 1/3 of the way through and I will not read any more. This book explores the depths of depravity in a way that I do not need. I do not want to finish it though that is not my usual choice when I start a book, even if it turns out to be one I do not particularly care for. Maybe there is redemption at the end but it is not close enough to inspire a desire to go on or even a desire to read any more of this author's writing.

Another great book in the series. Jack the Ripper is back! Left open for another book. Enjoyed very much. Fast read.

The creepiest Jack the Ripper ever. Excellent series starting with 'The Yard.'

Another riveting tale from Alex Grecian where Inspector Day and Sergeant Hammersmith shine!

Glad I didn't read this one at night. This book gives you shivers. It is very, very suspenseful!!

Apr 15, 2018Kim rated it it was ok

For a little while there, I thought Grecian would just kill every single one of his characters and leave me sitting, stunned and awash in their blood, in the parlor of Day's house. Yeesh. This was definitely more of a gory thriller than the smart, historically nuanced mysteries I've come to expect from this series.

I thought this was going to be a gripping historical police procedure, but the only thing gripping about it were my hands on the cover to stop me throwing across the room unfinished. Yes, I was disappointed in this, and have read far better thriller/mysteries from Authors who are releasing their works to the reading public for the first time.

In Victorian London, beneath the streets stretch dank, dark catacombs— and here, imprisoned for the past year and tortured every now and then, cut in the same way he cut his victims, is the man who had come to be known as Jack the Ripper. Above ground, a man named Griffin plays an important role in a plot to break into Bridewell Prison and free four dangerous murderers. Not to let them have their freedom, however; the fate decided for them is very different.
Involved in all of this is Detective...more

Third in Scotland Yard's Murder Squad historical mystery series and revolving around Inspector Walter Day. This story is set in London, the spring of 1890.
My Take
I'm torn between Day's justice and the group's justice. I'm all in favor of keeping it legal, and yet too often justice isn't done. That said, this group carried it too far. Kill 'em off before they escape, I say.
Jack makes an interesting point about perspective with his dream of five people whom he transformed and their experiences of...more
