THE RIVETING FOLLOW-UP TO THE BESTSELLING FIREWATCHING

'Hard-hitting' SUNDAY TIMES, CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH
'Comparable with the best of Michael Connelly’s Bosch books and James Lee Burke’s Robicheaux novels, and – naturally – Ian Rankin' AJ FINN
_____________________________

NO SECRET CAN STAY BURIED FOREVER​

Sheffield’s Botanical Gardens is an oasis of peace – until one morning when the body of a young woman is found there, buried in a quiet corner. Police determine that she’s been there for months and would have gone undiscovered for years – except someone returned in the dead of night to dig her up.

DS Adam Tyler and his team have many questions to answer – who is the victim? Who killed her and hid her body? And who dug her up?

Tyler’s investigation draws him into the secretive world of nighthawkers: treasure-hunters who operate under cover of darkness, seeking the lost and valuable . . . and willing to kill to keep what they find.

excellent story with twists and turns throughout. I yelped out loud at the ending, such a shocker but I need to know what happened next

If you’re a fan of crime fiction this is a must. Excellent sequel to Firewatching. Great characters. Sad and funny - made me laugh out loud at times. If you know Sheffield you will love it even more. Can’t wait for the third one.

Excellent

Thoroughly gripping follow up to Firewatching with excellent narration. Looking forward to the next book.

Excellent follow up to book 1

Firewatching was brilliant - a really tightly written book I couldn't put down, but Nighthawking just doesn't quite match it. There's a bit less of Tyler which is a shame, and his personal backstory narrative which starts early on doesn't resolve (it's clearly being held back for the next book, which is frustrating). But both those things would be fine if the story was as neatly and efficiently plotted as in the first book, which unfortunately it isn't.

Don't get me wrong - I did enjoy Nighthawking and will definitely be listening to whatever's next in the series but it just didn't match the first book. Jamie Parker's narration really did though - he is one of the most accomplished narrators I've listened to, up there with Emma Gregory in terms of the versatility of his voice and his ability to make each character so wonderfully distinct.

Had a lot to live up to... didn't quite

Confusing & boring. Nothing to get my teeth into. Took 3 attempts to get past chapter 3.

Confusing

Narrator was talented in his delivery. Menacing as McKenna. The complexities of characters (a bit of a struggle sometimes to understand) were characterised by individual slights each of them possessed, each of them livened up, by the story teller. I think I would have struggled to read the book tbh. Enjoyable nonetheless

Who dunnit.

I found the first book gripping and intriguing so went straight on to this second Adam Tyler novel. It's so good! I enjoyed the returning characters and their development as well as the twists and turns of the narrative. It kept me guessing and I loved the story. The fact that I've recently moved to Sheffield and get to enjoy mentions of local places is an added bonus. Cannot wait to read/listen to the third book and hope there will be many many more!

I'm totally hooked on this series

It really is, highly entertaining and brilliantly structured. Recommended for anyone who likes their crime twisty but human.

Even better than the first.

Extremely good sequel to Firewatching. Complex in parts so you do need to concentrate; not one for falling asleep to ...

Narration really makes it. Jamie Parker's accents and both female and male voices of differing ages are brilliant.

Excellent story with brilliant narration

This is the second book in this series and they just get better. So looking forward to the next one. The narration is spot on

Brilliant
