The Silversmith: 2 (David Wolf Mystery Thriller Series)

I read this after reading his first book and really enjoyed both . Lots of twists and turns and detailed characters. A great easy read . Reminded me a little of how Lee Child writes his characters.

I have now read 7 of the Wolf books, but sadly not in the right order! I have enjoyed them all and whilst they could all be read as stand-alone, you really do get more out of the stories if you read them in the order they were written. So I am glad that with this book (2) I am right up to date, so far. I really like the character of David Wolf - honest and fair, but admitting to his faults. He is horrified not to be elected Sheriff - his burning ambition - and he and the new Sheriff hate eat other's guts. But soon Wolf has more to worry about and has to go on the run in the mountains, while at the same time trying to figure out who wants him dead and why. I enjoyed the book and would recommend the whole series. There was no sex, romance or foul language.

Wow! Another great book from Jeff. Directly following on from "Foreign Deceit", could we expect to get writing up to the same level from a new author? The second book in the series meets up to expectations in my opinion. I'm not going to spoil the plot. Nice crafting of descriptive language together with suspense and grit. Just when you think you know the answer to the mystery and what the end is going to be... you get another curved ball delivery! Great writing. Hope there will be many more adventures to look forward to.

JEFF CARSON IS A REALLY LIKEABLE STORY TELLER I AM ENJOYING THE DAVID WOLF SERIES

The beginning of this book seemed to give hope that it would be a very good read, however it quickly became apparent that despite the action, the plot was very amateurish - following a million TV programmes and books since the 1950s in which the greedy corrupt rich landowner does the dirty deed and spends the rest of the story trying to get rid of witnesses; meanwhile the hero does his best to uncover the truth. A reasonable read, but I think it should be aimed at young teenagers. Maybe it was. Also contained many typos mainly in the form of homophones (no it's not rude) suggesting the use of speech-to-text with inadequate proof reading.

The David Wolf series has me gripped, a hugely satisfying read. I am a big Lee Child fan and have to say I didn’t think anything could match Jack Reacher. Just finished The Silversmith my second book in 6 days just can’t put these books down.

These stories are very visual with a great feeling for the outdoors and like Wilbur Smith and his South African descriptions I find David Wolf's Stories very atmospheric.He follows a trend I am seeing in recent books of working in abbreviated and succinct narative tho he still uses punctuation , I'm glad to say.I am interested to see the developement of characters from book 1 and note that human relationships are the same the world over.Yet there is no overdoing their traits.As I said succinct.And they make me feel quite at home (Northern Ireland) even if they are dressed in a different attire and driving strange sounding vehicles. 4 star rating because I was disappointed it had finished!

This was one heck of a story. From the very start, I was glued to this story. I had to keep reading, every spare moment I had, I would pick up my kindle. I couldn't put it down, had to keep reading, just kept me enthralled right to the very end. I enjoy reading stories about this type of story line, that takes you through a narrative with the same characters. I didn't get a chance to leave a review on the first two books about David Wolf, they both deserve 5Stars, as well.

Things move fast in David Wolf’s stories, that now l have to read faster to get through the other 15 in the series. He is that type of character, that brings you in, grips you, takes you on a fast journey, to the end.

You ever pick up a book for just a chapter and suddenly it’s 3 AM, your heart’s pounding, and you’ve devoured the whole thing? That was The Silversmith for me—a full-throttle dopamine thrill ride that refuses to let go. Dave Carson writes like a man possessed. The pacing is relentless, the tension razor-sharp, and the atmosphere thick enough to choke on. His words aren’t just storytelling; they’re a jolt of adrenaline straight to the system. The characters feel real, their fears crawling off the page, and the Silversmith himself? Pure nightmare fuel. Carson doesn’t waste time—he drags you in, keeps you flipping pages at a breakneck pace, and leaves you breathless. There’s a magic in books like this, the kind that hijacks your brain and won’t let you sleep even after you’ve turned the last page. If you think you’ll read a few chapters and set it down, think again. The Silversmith doesn’t politely ask for your attention—it seizes it, devours it, and leaves you grinning like a lunatic when it’s over. If you crave fiction that’s sharp, relentless, and impossible to put down, this one’s for you.

Enjoyed the series

I liked this a lot. There are 12 books in this storyline to date. I bought it for entertainment

This is the first book I've read from Jeff Carson. It is well written with a mixture of action and suspense. Highly recommended.
