WELL WORTH THE WAIT

Is it just me, stuck here in Campbeltown waiting for the next instalment of the goings on in Kinloch...thanks for another excellent book beautifully performed by David Monteath as usual.

Brilliantly written and narrated

This series just seems to get better and better, and I found the storyline gripping, but loved the bits of humour along the way. The narration as always was superb - and I can’t wait for the next one!

Another great story

Love the characters, story telling and plot.
Great follow-on story from a wonderful series of books. DCI Daley and DS Scott come to life again.

Superb narration!

Another great book from Denzil Meyrick and excellent narration by David Monteath. Like mince ‘n’ tatties, they complement each other perfectly!

One of the best Scottish crime clan

From first hearing whiskey in small glasses I was a fan of both author and reader
During Covid the next of this series was something I longed for. The only disappointment is having to wait for the next

Glad I persevered

I thought early on in this book that I wouldn’t finish it! Lots of characters & Brian irritated me throughout but I’m glad it saw it through. I will possibly read more of the DCI Daley books.

Shadows from the past and murder in the present

I bought the audio version of this book and, as anticipated, the narration throughout is superb. Having read and listened to this series, I much prefer the audio version because it adds a whole different dimension to the story and characters.

I’ve waited eagerly every June for the next in the series and picked up the additional short stories. I’ve yet to be disappointed by the quality of the plotting and the development of the characters. Denzil Meyrick is one of a handful of authors who has maintained a series exceptionally well; no plot contrivances for convenience or formulaic writing. Every one is a winner.

There are echoes from book 9 in which one of the recurring characters died. Although this works well as a stand alone, it’s a series which really does work best if read in order. I’ve grown to love the central characters. Jim Daley and His DS, Scott. Both have demons. But they’re not held down by the baggage and they’re distinctly different characters. They play off one another, with Scott’s gruff and dark humour along with malapropisms making him feel real. I have mental pictures of every character and the location.

This tale is a real mix of people from the past, themes from earlier stories and both Daley and Scott trying to rebalance and move on with their lives. Their respective wives are central to the character development and unusually, the personal side of the tale doesn’t detract from the crime story. I feel a part of this strange little Kinloch community; it takes a talented writer to create a seemingly real world for readers to invest in. Meyrick has done it. This is a cracking addition to the series and won’t disappoint.

Love these books and characters

I can’t wait for these books to come out. As usual the narration is just brilliant. Brings the characters to life. Really enjoyed the story but a few things just grated slightly. The constant booze wrecks lives narrative, the increasing level of violence and the lack of any resolution regarding what to do with Liz. Still enjoyed it though and look forward to the next slice of Kinloch.
