Carnival Blues: 12 (DI Nick Dixon Crime)

Product Information

There's a few red herrings in the plot to misdirect the reader, but then it's all neatly pulled together in the final act, when the real motive and murderer is revealed. However once he got everything geared up for the dénouement, it was a great page turner, and I raced through the last 25%.

If you haven’t read any in this series it is a good read but I felt it lacked the characters and suspense of previous stories.Ideally suited for bathrooms, wetrooms and kitchens, this mosaic provides a winning effect to any area in your home.

DI Nick Dixon is in attendance and, from what he witnessed, he has no doubt that this was planned, that it was murder. Obviously I’m biased - who wouldn’t enjoy a novel set on your doorstep, with the ability to recognise the setting down to the name of a house? It's good to feature a strong local tradition like the carnivals, which probably aren't that well known in other areas of the UK, but are a key part of the local scene - so much so that's its a surprise they haven't been mentioned in the series before.He's a complex, flawed, idiosyncratic character, which makes him fascinating, loveable and - occasionally - deeply frustrating. If I had to look at this and come up with a plot for your next book it would have to be at a Classic Car show bit boring, but maybe one of the cars on display as a mark in the boot of one of the cars?

Good plotting and pace as ever and those touches of realism make you want to head over to the Zalshah and the Red Cow. I am not writing anymore as all I can say,this is a brilliant book and you need to read it for yourself.
