Excellent as usual!

DEAD LOCK is Book 8 in Damien Boyd's DI Nick Dixon modern detective series. I've written reviews of the prior seven novels in the series. Boyd never disappoints. Narration is again by Napoleon Ryan. For a man with a deep voice he does a great job with female voices.

Nick and Jane, Kidnapping and Murder

DI Nick Dixson and DS Jane Winters return early from their holiday to investigate the kidnapping of a ten-year-old girl. Alesha, the young girl, has ran off before, but always returned. Her mother is a drug addict, her dad an alcoholic, and she rides her bike from one place to another, looking out for herself most of the time. But when a second girl is kidnapped, from an intact family, with similar circumstances, the authorities are at a loss as to the reasons. The second girl is the granddaughter of Dr. Roger Poland, state pathologist and close friend of Nick Dixson. This is a very well written story which will draw you in immediately. It is made richer by the details of Nick and Jane’s personal life, including the appearance of Jane’s younger sister, Lucy, who has run away from her foster parents. As the race to find the two girls continues, details emerge which assist the police in finding the kidnappers. But it is a winding road which goes in directions most unexpected. The conclusion is top notch and well worth the wait! I will definitely be continuing the series!

A Great Series

Excellent character development makes you want to know more about them. Some of the best narration on Audible.

Dead Lock

Fantastic performance of Napoleon Ryan. He is very talented narrator. His brilliant narration kept me listening.

Entertaining series that has never disappointed

DI Nick Dixon is a believable, likable character with a great supporting cast. An excellent choice for those who appreciate well written plots and English sensibilities. Napoleon Ryan is a an elite story teller who differentiates character voices with ease. I can listen to him read a crossword puzzle.

The Best So Far!

Hold on to your hats for a very exciting conclusion to this one! This author keeps getting better and better.

Each book gets better and better

So glad I found this series, looking forward to the next book. Read from the start, relationships are important to the stories.

Loved it but got a bit confused

I really enjoyed this and loved all the previous books but I got a bit confused at the end. I may have been a bit distracted was listening on my iPod while I cleaned the house but I lost track of who some of the suspects were. I will have to listen again in a few months .

Another Winner !!

My praise for this fine book goes this time for the incomparably Great Napoleon Ryan.

Five star book and 10 star narration..

I absolutely love the DI Nick Dixon books. This was involved the kidnappings of two 10 year old girls but they had nothing to do with each other, and thankfully neither girl was hurt. Nick and Jane were on holiday when the first girl was taken and Jane, Nick's girlfriend, was called back home but Nick stayed behind so he wasn’t really even in the book until chapter 5 or 6, I forget which one. It was worth the wait though. You can always depend on Nick and Jane to solve the crimes so cleverly. This was a really good book. Plus one of the bad guys got away so there will be another book. Yay! No sex and the F-bomb was used 42 times. As to the narration: *Sigh* I just love Napoleon Ryan. His voices are awesome, whether it’s a man’s voice or a woman’s, he great at either one. And his emotions when he reads are off-the-wall.
