'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.

Three interesting main characters
I enjoyed the story and the characterisation but found the reading/performance rather flat and dispiriting.

I LOVE this series
I’m new to this author but I’m definitely going to search out other works. I have loved the tone, the characters and the narration is perfect. Not a lot not to love.

A fabulous continuation from The Last Dance
Firstly the narrator is fabulous for this part and makes the story for me. Secondly the story - I laughed, I loved the characters and I also cried at the end - thank you Mark Bilingham didn’t think you could beat The Last Dance but it is wonderful.

Touching, sensitive characterisation
I really enjoyed the plot, but most of all, I fell in love with the characters.

Great humour and narration
I enjoyed the first in this series and this is just as good. Very funny despite some dark content. Achieves some closure on the plot lines left from the first one. I hope that doesn’t mean this is the end of the series! Narration is spot on.

Very enjoyable crime thriller
Of course British detectives and humour go together!! Enjoyed reading the first book, listening to the second as an audiobook took it to a whole new level. Narrator brought the Lancashire setting and characters to life. May the series continue!

Totally entertaining
A perfect mix of crime fiction and comedy. Totally engaging characters portrayed really well by the narrator. Can't wait for the next in the series.

Brilliant sequel to the last dance
As a Blackpudlian who grew up ballroom dancing, this new dancing detective protagonist had a certain appeal for me. I loved the Last Dance and this sequel brings everything together.
Had it on preorder and it didn't disappoint. Highly recommended.
