Review: Best yet, can't wait for the next one—Swansong—due this summer...

I bought this book at 12:11pm,,, it's now 4:02pm on the same day and I literally couldn't put it down! I've actually read all three DI Nick Dixon books in the last two days! Actually, gobbled would probably be a better description...Damien Boyd is a winner! With each book his writing has grown and I can hardly wait for the next one—Swansong—due this summer! This book is well written, fast paced and loaded with wonderful twists and turns. Since I read it in just under 4 hours you can tell that it gripped and held my attention. I want MORE of DI Nick Dixon and the rest of the characters that Mr. Boyd has introduced me to! And I certainly wouldn't mind if the books were a bit longer. ;-)This is a thoroughly English mystery and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Nick Dixon is becoming a fully rounded person and Jane Winter is right there with him...This is a stand alone story even if it does reference 'Head in the Sand' in that it ties up a few loose ends in the previous book. But you don't need to read the others to enjoy this one—this story is complete in and of itself! But it's also part of a series and you can see the growth of the characters as well as Mr. Boyd's talent from book to book.Thank you Mr. Boyd and keep them coming!
