Me too. Not had that before but there's a few odd things going on with Amazon's systems at the moment. eg tried to get into my account details and got 'web page not found' Also got impending delivery/download in my email. Deleted it as it had already arrived. Message appeared again. Repeat several times through the day.

Today I'm getting an 'Expected today' message for something that arrived 3 days ago.

Rattled through the first 3 chapters last night, good stuff.

I’ll describe it as a Carl Hiaasen story set in SE London, which I mean as a compliment

I think you might like him. I read them in order so you might want to start with Tourist Season, but Native tongue was probably a favourite. Sick Puppy’s good, too.

But currently no space to store books, but once i have space I'll order it properly !!

For now it's queued in my Kindle behind a werewolf fantasy series

For context,my lifelong reading mojo has been broken and spluttering intermittently for some years now,yet I read this in just a few sittings.

Great 'fleshed out' characters and a neatly interwoven plot. I always judge a good book if I lose myself in the reading and stop being aware I'm reading a story someone has written. The process then becomes an organic absorption of the characters and the tale.

A good yarn Dan and something to be rightly proud of. Much enjoyed.

It's good.








Well written, definitely some recognisable characters, with laugh out loud moments and a clean finish.

That's very kind of you Thanks!

And quick question... did you get the bit about the cat? Don't have to give any spoilers here, but I find it's about 50% of readers
