Review: Kickback

Kickback by Damien Boyd
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

DI Nick Dixon Book 3

Kickback

Noel Woodman has been kicked to death by a racing horse at the racing stables in which he worked. A terrible accident, or so everyone belives.
It’s his bother Jon, who has had to take extreme measures for someone to listen to him and his belief that this was no accident.

Its DI Nick Dixon then is heading up the investigation. He certainly likes to get stuck in and is a great character.

This is the 3rd book I have read by this author, the 3rd in the series, I have really enjoyed this book found the story origional and interesting. The book certainly managed to keep my attention.

Review: Head in the Sand

Head in the Sand by Damien Boyd
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book 2 in the Di Nick Dixon Crime Series. I'm pretty new to this series, having only read book one and two so, but I consider myself quite lucky as I can dive into the rest of the series so far at my leisure. No hanging around waiting for the next one.

​I've enjoyed this book, I'm slowly getting to know characters and making my mind up of what I think of them. 
​A head is found in the sand at a golf course. It's down to the team to figure out the who, why and how. And it's done very well. 
​When the case seems to be linked to a case decades before the story really gets going and makes you think.
​Very well written and thoroughly enjoyable. Gorey but not to over done. A crime thriller to keep you guessing, and will keep you turning the pages.

Review: The Fourth Friend

The Fourth Friend by Joy Ellis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It isn't long since I finally got around to reading Their Lost Daughters by Joy Ellis, which was book 2 in this series. As soon as I saw this was available on Netgalley I requested it. I couldn't wait to start this. I have read all of Joy Ellis' books so far, and have not been disappointed by any of them. It's fantastic to add another author to my MUS READ list. This also means that as soon as I saw it and requested it, I hadn't even read what it was about, and find it's a bit of a lucky dip when starting the book as I don't have a clue what it's going to be about.
​I did however know the main characters from the 2 previous books, and i'm certainly growing to like them more and more.
Another book full of twists and turns that will keep you entertained the whole way through. 
I really do look forward to reading more from this author. I'm not sure if Joy Ellis has a back log of books to produce or if she is just one hell of a writing machine the books seem to be coming thick and fast, so what ever it is you do Joy, Please carry on doing it.

Review: Time to Die

Time to Die by Caroline Mitchell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and found the supernatural aspect of the book both freaky and interesting. It really does add to a seriously thrilling story. Grabbed from the word go, I managed to read this bad boy in just over a day. I only had 2 hours sleep, so instead of fighting it and wrestling to get to sleep I just picked up my kindle and got stuck in. Then throughout the day in between doing 'grown-up' stuff, I just kept sitting in the garden reading just one more chapter, before I knew it I was almost at the end, and then it just wasn't possible to put the damn thing down anyway so had to carry on until I'd finished it.
​Absolutely fascinating. I couldn't wait to see what was happening. What was to come next.
​Totally #Unputdownable

Review: As The Crow Flies

As The Crow Flies by Damien Boyd
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A very easy to read but interesting story. At only 180 pages it was very easy to get stuck into and finish.
This is the fist book featuring Detective Inspector Nick Dixon.As its only a short book it seems to get right to the point early on.,  
Detective Inspector Nick Dixon  has recently left a career in the Met to move to the Avon & Somerset Police force, He's a character I kind of liked right away.
He receives a call telling him his friend and Former Climbing partner had died. 
Dixons friend Jake Fayter has died whilst practicing a new route on High rock. in cheddar Gorge. But  Dixon knows that Jake would not have made a basic error in tying a knot, and he is then drawn into the investigation as to the cause of death.


A really well written book, I not read many around rock climbing, and wasn't sure how I was going to find this one, but i really did enjoy it. 
I recieved this book for review via Netgalley. And luckily I took the chance and downloaded the next two at the same time. I'm glad I did and look forward to reading them both.

Review: No Other Darkness

No Other Darkness by Sarah Hilary
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm still at it, still playing catch up with series i've neglected. Its forever ago since I read book one, and with book 5 due out soon, I thought it time I played catch up.

Here we are with book 2, a great start and story that held my attention from the word go. Back with DI Marnie Rome and her sidekick Noah Jake.
This time around they are investigating the discovery of two children found in an underground bunker.
But the Who, the what and the why is what they need to figure out. A difficult case to deal with and it's going to need every bit of super power they posess to get through it.
A brilliant, interesting read the book kept my attention all the way through. I'm looking forward to the next one now.

Review: Thieves On The Fens

Thieves On The Fens by Joy Ellis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Joy Ellis – Thieves on the fens.
What a book, I love this series; I mean I really love this series. Here we are at book 8, and I have to say personally I think these books should be read in order. I’m not saying you couldn’t read as standalone, but to get the full background story which I feel really does make a difference here, then they really are best read in order.
Nikki Galena and Joseph Easter, a first class crime solving partnership. I find these two characters just amazing, the way they interact, the way they know each other and of course they work so so well together.

We are on the lookout in this book for a killer who seems to be taunting the police. Mainly Nikki and Joseph, Leaving clues as to what he is going to do. The clues that Nikki and Joseph need to figure out.
We also see a little more of Eve in this book. (Nikki’s mother) and I think she’s also a great character. Finding one of her long time friends dead, Eve is determined to figure out if this was just a natural death or something a little more sinister, but the more she searches the more she puts herself in danger. 

I can't recommend this series highly enough from the very beginning I have thoroughly enjoyed it
