About this listen

Graffiti is a dying art in this thriller from the bestselling DI Nick Dixon crime series.

A routine missing person enquiry takes a grisly turn when a young couple drag a box containing human remains out of a Somerset river. The victim was a surveillance expert investigating an exaggerated injury claim—a murder with an obvious motive, until a police officer is implicated and suspended.

Still brooding after his recent brush with police Professional Standards, Detective Chief Inspector Nick Dixon is on extended leave, helping his pregnant fiancée, Detective Sergeant Jane Winter, fight for her place on the major investigation team.

Convinced that the death of an art student is connected, Dixon returns to duty, and when graffiti depicting the murders starts to appear, the race is on to find the artist and the murderer. But, why the paintings? Could an infamous street artist be involved?

With colleagues questioning his every move, Dixon must stop a sadistic killer before another life is taken. Then a second art student is reported missing…

This is an amazing police procedural book, which I loved. I have loved all of Damien Boyd's books in this series.

In this story, Nick Dixon is thinking about becoming a lawyer again after being treated unfairly by the police, but then he is soon back in his favourite job - being a detective. He gets stuck into solving a case involving a murderer who creates street art where he leaves clues for the police to follow.

I loved seeing Nick and Jane, Monty the dog and Roger again. It is like visiting an old family when I read these books.

I highly recommend this book, and all books in this series - they are all fantastic!

Amazing

Another excellent audiobook from Damien Boyd. Like the others I’ve binge listened to it.

As with the other audiobooks in the series the storyline is very clever, with the usual twists and turns we’ve come to expect from Damien Boyd.

This time it focuses on the street art scene. The murders come thick and fast.

As always Simon Mattacks provides excellent narration and he brings the characters to life.

Like Dixon, Damien Boyd can be relied on to come up with a great plot that doesn’t fail to impress. Another fab read. Dixon is a fantastic character and his multi layered personality makes for a great detective. Keep them coming.

A * as usual

I listen to so many police procedurals on audible, but this one by far the best.

I love how the author drops subtle clues and links events together. The characters are so well developed and there are many twists and turns.

The narrator is excellent too. My only complaint is that I have to wait so long for the next one.

Bravo Damien Boyd.
