The Two Fathers
Today I am pleased to be able to conclude
the blog tour for The Two Fathers by Keith Dixon. My thanks go
to @Damppebbles Blog Tours.
About the Book
Why does Jessica Hastings come
home late several times a week?
Her husband asks Private Investigator Sam Dyke this simple question.
Dyke doesn’t want the case: he doesn’t do divorce work … but Brian Hastings
doesn’t want a divorce, he wants an explanation.
When Sam finds out what Jessica is doing, it opens up more questions.
And when Brian Hastings goes missing, they’re questions he feels compelled to
answer.
At the centre of the mystery is a man who most people in Manchester
don’t know—Larry Stone. But those who do know him, know that far from being the
simple florist he seems to be, he’s actually the biggest crook in town. He’s
powerful, he’s dangerous, and he’s currently working a deal with a Dutchman
who’s even worse.
And Sam is now caught in Stone’s sights as he works to find Brian
Hastings, to solve a couple of murders, and to prevent Stone corrupting even
more members of his own family than he already has.
Before the biggest deal of Stone’s crooked career goes down.
Review
This is part of the Sam
Dyke Investigates series and is book 11 in the series. You can read these as standalones and I will
confess that this is the first one I have read, but certainly won’t be the
last. I will have to start collecting
the books and then that will give me a great series to binge read, bit like I
do with TV series in all honesty.
I liked the sound of this book when I heard it was featuring the
underworld of Manchester, I love books set in or near my home and Manchester is
a great city and one I am proud to work in on a daily basis. Anyway back to my thoughts on the book.
Sam Dyke is a PI, one I am going to assume brings trouble to everything
he gets involved in. We join Sam in this
book when he is hired by Brian Hastings to find out what his wife Jessica is up
to when she goes out at night. We follow
Sam as he investigates this and reports back to Brian only for things to take a
drastic turn and Brian then goes missing.
Sam at this point is like a dog with a bone and wants to know more about
the Hastings family and the wider family that he has unwillingly met or hear
about especially the mysterious Larry Stone who on the face of it is a simple
florist or is he?
This was a great read and one that I managed to curl up and read on a
cold and miserable couple of days over a couple of weekends, not a lot else
could be done in all honesty during this current time but I can seriously say
that even if there had been, I am so glad that I didn’t do anything, as I would
have missed what a fabulous book this is and what a great book it was to curl
up to, with a nice big cup of tea, bar of chocolate and a blanket forgetting about the
outside world and losing myself in a great story.
Looking forward to starting to collect the first ten books in the series
and have what sounds like some fantastic stories to catch up on.
