About the book…
Millionaire Marty Michaels had the perfect life — until he found a dead girl in his bathroom.
For twenty years, superstar radio host Marty Michaels has used his vast fame and power to make or break the careers of celebrities and politicians.
But Marty discovers that power comes at a price when he wakes in a strange hotel room and finds a murdered girl in the bathroom. He’s been setup. Someone wants to destroy him.
Desperate to clear his name, Marty is propelled into a dark world of danger, corruption and depravity, and with the media world he once ruled now baying for his blood — the hunter has become the hunted.
Not knowing who to trust, or where to turn, Marty fights alone against a powerful criminal network as he tries to save his reputation, his job…and his life.
WELCOME!!! Here is my stop along the Damp Pebbles Tour for the fabulous ‘Deadly Secrets’, by OMJ Ryan!
What a thrill ride of a story, full of suspense, whip smart plot twists and a character you really have to work at to get to know. On the surface , Marty is the man who has it all.
Rich, famous nationwide and successful. So who has planted a dead girl in his bathroom? And why? What is he hiding that has engendered such a revenge plot that someone has literally killed to put Marty to rights?
The first person narrative really accentuates the reader’s reaction to what is happening, it really delves inside Marty’s mind, but is he actually telling the truth, or just a version of it?
This bloody brilliant debut thriller is also known as ‘Media Monster’, and I have no hesititaion in recommending it. You are constantly questioning and analysing the story for clues to whether Marty is as innocent as he says he is. It gets you thinking about the concepts of justice and revenge and I highly recommend it ! It makes fine use of OMJ Ryan’s experience of working in the entertainment industry and this adds an air of authenticity to a gripping, compelling book. I am genuinely excited to see where he goes next!

Thank you, Rachel ❤️
Any time! Thanks for continuing to introduce me to new and fabulous writers! x
Thank you so much, Rachel xx
Hi Rachel, I wanted to thank you again for the ‘bloody brilliant’ review. I must admit it was a slightly terrifying week waiting for them to drop but the feedback has been fantastic. I’m hoping you could cross-post yours on Amazon as the book is now live and promo begins this week. I’m sure it’ll help drive readers to sample it. I know from talking to Emma and some of the other guys on the tour that Amazon are painfully slow in posting them, so if you’ve already done this, thank you. I also wanted to let you know that ‘Deadly Silence’ launches next month and is the first in the Detective Jane Phillips series, following her life 6 months after the events at Fairchild’s, on a the trail of a serial killer. I hope you’ll enjoy that one too when it’s ready. Take care and thanks again. O x
