Detective Inspector Jon Spicer is working on Operation Fisherman, investigating a gang of car thieves, when he responds to a call for help from a Community Support Officer A woman has been murdered and, because there is a prologue, we already know pretty much how, but we don t know why And, despite the prologue, we don t know whodunit As the first detective on the scene, Spicer or Jon , as Simms prefers to call his leading man is made Senior Investigating Officer it seems a straightforward enoug [...]
I think a big thing that influenced how much I enjoyed this book was the fact that I didn t realize the two plot threads were occurring at different periods of time until honestly over 2 3 of the way through the book After that, things made a little sense However, even with that cleared up, I had some gripes with the book I didn t particularly like any of the characters None of them really stuck out to me as good people Some would say that this is realistic I would argue that there are plenty o [...]
Follow DI Jon Spicer in this crime thriller set around Manchester People are very busy in Manchester with the opening of the XVII Commonwealth Games in 2002, when a body is discovered.Okay, this story is set in 2002 but do not let that put you off People remain the same, the world over and what we have here is a gritty urban drama This story is not dated, although you should ignore all the smoking in enclosed public spaces, which is now thankfully illegal.This is a lovely balanced story, it is n [...]
I find it quite boring to read a book that ends up being close to what I expected it to be that s why I generally don t like book series so when an author manages to surprise me, I tend to value it a lot Chris Simms totally astounded me with his novel Killing the Beasts My rating is very high mainly because of the surprise factor, actually, because of three surprise factors.First of all, the structure of the book is delightfully unusual There are two threads one is quite a standard police proced [...]
I found this book while looking for new authors So often when looking for something new you find something not so good That was not the case with this book The plot was very original, which I won t give away as that would definitely ruin this book There were many twists and turns I didn t see coming that kept me reading late into the night to see what would happen next The characters are real and believable You find yourself attached to the characters and hoping they find their way.This is the f [...]
My second Chris Simms book, read out of order, as is my terrible habit.This one is set around the time of the Commonwealth Games in Manchester, in 2002, a time and place I am very familiar with He evokes the atmosphere and locations really well.The timeline of the book is different it jumps between time periods, which helps to paint a vivid picture of the characters and the events which overtake them.The story rolls along at a good pace, the characters are involving and the timeline jumps tie u [...]
Good detective thriller I really liked reading the internal thoughts of someone decending into schizophrenia Truely terrifying stuff The end wasn t a complete surprise and there were enough other side stories that I wasn t completely certain who the murderer was until the very end Definitely reading the next one.
Great read Well written Very captivating Two different timelines makes it even interesting.
I found the plot engaging and it certainly kept me guessing until the various threads of the story were brought together I will certainly look out for Chris Simms novels.
fantastic gripping story did not see that fabulous ending coming
nice read follow along as character slips the cheese off his cracker
WOW Brilliant
Didn t guess the killer until the last bit of the book I like that.
I think it was a great book because of the way he wrote the story to grip the reader I greatly enjoyed the part when DI Spicer completely took out the ferret.
Simple to read The only two problems was that I had figured the murderer and the endings of the sub plots car thieving before the author had spilled the beans Also, the ending was quite abrupt and didn t tie the knots with Alice and Nikki not sure if it s just a boy thing with Nikki though The one chapter focusing on this character and vice versa made it a little confusing but the different dates in a new chapter was something different I liked I enjoyed that the characters had stuck with their [...]
In the end, the overall story was three stars worth, but the moments of The Californians sketch level obsession with Manchester roads and glut of shop names combined with the poorly edited pacing and weakly built out location jumps made the book, at times, aggravating to read I found my eyes skimming quickly past paragraphs looking for story content at times Credit should be given for the well done manner of giving multiple potential suspects without definitively revealing the who and why.DI Spi [...]
Over all this was pretty good and I ll definitely try the next in this series although I did get a bit too bogged down with the tour of Manchester we kept getting That seemed a bit superfluous at times and wore me down somewhat I wasn t keen on the American spellings used, either realizing organizing authorizing Annoying I found it peculiar that AMIT was stated as standing for Area Major Incident Unitdid I miss something I d have thought team fitted better, perhaps I couldn t even find OET, anot [...]
A psychological thriller set in Manchester England A decent whodunit type of serial murder book My only real problem with the book is all the British jargon of which I had no clue Fortunately I read this book on my Kindle and it was very easy to get translations of the slang terms used in the book For example, how many North American know what a biro is.I did enjoy the main character D.I Spicer There are a lot of subplots that were enjoyable A good but not great book to read.
WTF DID I JUST TRY TO READ, IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST CONFUSING BOOKS I VE EVER READ IT SKIPPED FROM PAST TO PRESENT TOO MUCH, I UNDERSTAND WHAT IT TRYING TO DO BUT IT MISSED THE MARK THE KILLER S DESCENT INTO MADNESS, MADE ME WONDER MAYBE HE WAS TRYING TO READ THIS BOOK UGH
Not BadStory starts out well then seems to lag which seems with inconsequential details Once you get past the first 40% of the novel, the story picks up again The ending seemed a little abrupt but on the whole a pretty good tale.
It was confusing at first because there are 2 different timelines that take place months apart Once I got that figured out, it was much easier to read It was a good plot and the writing was fair It was interesting enough that I wouldn t mind reading other books in this series.
Different style bringing lots of ends together in the end Would have been stars but didn t drag me along as I thought it ought to.

I do love a bit of a detective whodunit, this is the first in a series of DI Spicer novels, it a good attempt.
Very good book as a retired cop I enjoyed it I read it in 2 days
It was okay, not the ending I was expecting I don t know if that is a good thing or bad thing.
A great gripping thriller, lovely to read, yet disturbing at times lots of the characters and day today detail make it very relatable good clear plot looking forward to book two in the series
