About this listen

In this thriller from the bestselling DI Nick Dixon crime series, a brutal murder looks like a gangland execution...until the next body is found.

Newly promoted DCI Nick Dixon is stuck behind a desk when the peace of the Somerset countryside is shattered by a spate of sheep killings. Dixon recognises a sinister pattern: the animals have all been slaughtered with a crossbow, the power increasing with each kill. It seems whoever is responsible is practising, but for what?

Then the owner of a yacht that capsized on a suspected drug run is found dead, pinned to a tree by four crossbow bolts. Convinced that the killing is a gangland execution, the organised crime unit take over the investigation.

Dixon is sure the motive lies elsewhere, but is forced to watch from the sidelines - until another body is found.

Leading a major investigation team at Avon and Somerset Police headquarters, and with internal politics threatening to thwart him at every turn, Dixon must find the murderer before he kills again. And again…

Excellent story

Another gripping winner from Damien Boyd. Can be read as a standalone but better as part of the series. Can't wait for the next instalment! 😊

I have read most of Damien Boyd's books, and I have loved them all. I also loved this one, and I can't wait to read the next one! DCI Nick Dixon, his partner and fellow police colleague Jane, and Monty the dog are an amazing little family team, and I just love them so much. I am always excited to read about what they get up to in each book of the series. In this book, it is all go, with lots of action, humour, romance, police activities, mystery, murder, and lots more. It is a fantastic read, which I highly recommend!

Great!

The author has a technique of never finishing a story when it feels like everything is wrapped up, which keeps you with the story until the last moment.
I love the local connection as the south west in general is severely underrepresented across Uk media. The fact that the narrator uses predominantly authentic local accents for competent, senior characters adds to the atmosphere and I hope will help to resolve the impression that West Country accents equate to lesser intelligence.
The story was strongly linked to previous ones, but worked perfectly as a standalone. I’m not sure the lead character is very likeable, but I’m sure that’s the author’s intention and in any event, helps make him more credible.
The only real niggle was that that the narrator says ‘mis-cheee-vee-ous’ instead of mischievous, which is a pet cringe for me. Ah well, 98% there!

It’s never over when it’s over
