'I'm excited to have found a new favourite detective' CLAIRE DOUGLAS

'Neat plot twists and a likable cast of offbeat characters, all served up with plenty of black humour' MAIL ON SUNDAY'

'Simply fantastic' LISA JEWELL
_______________

This is one case Miller won't want to open . . .

Unconventional Detective Declan Miller has a problem. Still desperate to solve the murder of his wife, a young man has just appeared on his doorstep with a briefcase . . . containing a pair of severed hands.

Miller knows this case is proof of a contract killing commissioned by local ne'er do well Wayne Cutler - a man he suspects might also be responsible for his wife's death. Now Miller has leverage, but unfortunately he also has something that both Cutler and a villainous fast-food kingpin are desperate to get hold of.

Chuck in a Midsomer Murders-obsessed hitman, a psychotic welder and a woman driven over the edge by a wayward Crème Egg, and Miller is in a mess that even he might not be able to dance his way out of.

Well worth the wait

I adore Tom Thorne but in Declan Miller he’s a quirky lovable rogue with the best of intentions- well mostly. However the comedy is tempered with the emotional side as he navigates the loss of his wife. It’s a perfect read.

Billingham’s Best

Big Tom Thorne fan and although the story here and in the first Miller book were both very good the non stop dad jokes gets very tiring very quickly, and it is a constant throughout both the books. That mixed with a voice performance that for me made it feel like all the characters were about 70 plus years old.
