About this listen

The exciting new detective crime thriller

It doesn't matter how rich you are when death knocks at your door.

A killer stalks the streets of London, murdering the richest people in the capital. Is this the work of a serial killer, or just someone angry with the super rich? Or is there another reason why billionaires are being killed every three days?

Detective Inspector Simon Wise, reeling from the death of his partner and harbouring more than a few secrets of his own, is assigned to the case. But the killer leaves no clues as to their identity, only bodies in their wake, and each new death sends Wise's team in startling new directions.

As the pressure mounts on Wise to get a result, has he got what it takes to solve the case before the murderer strikes again?

Rich Men, Dead Men is the first book in the DI Simon Wise Crime Thriller series, set on the streets of London. If you like gripping police procedurals, complex characters, and shocking twists, then you’ll love Michael Dylan’s thrilling debut novel.

This gripping thriller is perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Peter James, Joy Ellis, L.J. Ross, Alex Smith, and J.M. Dalgliesh.

Michael Dylan tells a well paced story with likeable characters that are easily relatable from the outset. This is something that is clearly carried over from his other works which are of a completely different genre. The novel doesn’t allow the listener to get bogged down with unnecessary backstory or filler and and the narrative unfolds steadily leading to a satisfactory conclusion.

The audio narration by Colin Mace perfectly suits the story and manages to capture Wise’s ‘world weary, ptsd afflicted’ personality. I can’t wait for the next title to be released.

I wholeheartedly recommend this as your next listen. You won’t be disappointed! I could see this as being one of TV’s next big procedural thrillers!

I really, really enjoyed this book. An immediate empathy and liking for the main character. A very exciting journey. I did guess who it was very quickly and was satisfied that I was right! The narrator is brilliant. He has such a wonderful voice and really expresses everyone’s feelings brilliantly. Very much looking forward to the next story.

Interesting story line and brilliantly told by Colin Mace. Looking forward to the next book.

Excellent

His repetition becomes exceedingly tiresome of the protagonist remembering a past trauma. He must use the same sentence over 100 times in the book. I started listening to the second book and within minutes the same tedious sentence came up. Such a shame because the story itself other than the ludicrous repetition is very engrossing. These things stand out more with audiobooks. No room for hiding

Repetition

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Firstly, really clear & expressive, well paced narration - I was totally immersed in it throughout not wanting it to finish. Yes, repetitive in parts but this was the basis of the Detective’s problems so I could say it was just emphasis. Whatever, as a devotee of this genre, I immediately looked up the next in the series.

Brilliantly woven together
