Devoured this book all too fast -I absolutely enjoyed the quirky Miller & his sidekick Xiu - I’ve loved his previous books in the Tom Thorne series- but this book introduces Detective-Declan Miller -& Xiu both great characters - Can’t wait for the next in the series- but sadly I believe not until next year ! Don’t go into this expecting the same as they are polar opposites for the most part. Definitely add this to your TBR, you won’t regret it! He’s just returned to work from compassionate leave and masks his grief through sarcasm.

They still had my jaw dropping. This start of a new series takes us to Blackpool where we’re introduced to Detective Declan Miller… Dec. Would I recommend this book? Add to this, the fantastic characters – Finn, and ‘Posh Gravy’ for instance, alongside the main character and I was 100% invested.
I guessed a few things, but not until they were near ready to be revealed. Holy shizzle… where the heck do I begin?
I laughed all through out this novel as there were some great lines that balanced the darkness of the case and the backstory. It’s emotive, dark, funny, engaging, throw in a few twists and OMG moments and this became a real page turning read! My only complaint is how long I have to wait for the next one! There’s rats, music, dancing, bad but funny jokes, a dead wife who Miller has not let go of – If I’d heard any of this before deciding to read this book, I’m not sure it would work or appeal to me, being a big fan of the Thorne series… but trust me, it all works and I’m glad (in a sense) on how it ended as it means there will be more.
