A review by nickmasters
Swansong by Damien Boyd
3.0
Another enjoyable addition to this fast paced crime series.
With this outing we even got to get a little more personal with Dixon and feel some raw emotion. I have resigned myself to not expecting a great deal of character growth in this form of narrative, so this was definitely a pleasant surprise.
Although I enjoyed the story line, some of the aspects, I felt, were too obvious, or perhaps too expected, a little too early on the storyline. (Spoiler Alert). In particular Jane's abduction (although played out very well) was almost as expected Monty going for a walk. And I also felt that the killer was revealed too early, but that's probably more a personal observation.
There were definitely a lot more finer details to the storyline that I enjoyed, and even felt myself re-reading a few scenes after later facts had revealed themselves. Purely to enjoy what I had previously overlooked.
All in all a great read!
