Book 2 done. This one plays out like a stylish old fashioned whodunnit as the case ventures out to a greek island paradise. DCI Nash and DI Molly pair off well as guise of father daughter to work through the case as guests rather than detectives. I like how DCI Nash's character has developed from the influence of the endearing Max from Book 1 and I'm glad he finally decided to come out. Like any good whodunnit this is not an easy who and certainly not an easy why. I have books 3-5 aleady downloaded and ready to go.

Two seemingly unrelated stories come together after a quarter of this novel. Then, after the half way point, they are still connected, but how? Dead bodies in England and Greece share similarities but how does that help Nash in his investigations? Guess you'll have to read this page turner to find out.
A story that will keep you guessing, from Barrow in Furness to the Greek island of Koss to a five star hotel built on many levels. The characters are well drawn and some are totally wacky. Enjoyed this one and gave 5* without a problem.

Another great read
DCI Nash is back in action. After a murder in his home town of Barrow is linked to two on Kos, Nash & DI Molly Brown go in under cover as father & daughter to investigate.
The description of the Greek Island and the all inclusive resort they are based in are excellent, and one can almost feel the sun beating down on your shoulders.
The alternative view point in this book is from middle aged Connie Pearson on holiday with her partner Jeff. She suffers from an invasive tic that can cause unwanted fits. But she and Jeff have it under control, and they’re determined that nothing is going to spoil their holiday.
Connie’s observations on her fellow holidaymakers are at times amusing and at times cruel. The couple who sat next to her on the plane are given the nickname of Mr&Mrs Sweaty Legs and an a drunk woman called Gabby becomes Gobby.
Once again Black weaves the two strands of the story deftly together. Nash & Brown’s investigation unfolds to the background of Connie & Jeff’s holiday.
As the number of murders grows, as does the tension. There are several possibilities as to who the murderer could be, though Nash is convinced he knows who it is.
This is an excellent follow up to book 1 and it was great to see a cameo from Max, through the aegis of clairvoyant Conrad Snow.
The story is well put together, and I’m looking forward to the next one.

Silas Nash has a puzzling murder on his hands. Who on earth would bash an elderly woman’s brains in as she sat in her chair? But the real cause of death was hidden until the post mortem. Shortly after, a young British teenager is found floating dead in a pool in a Greek holiday resort. Nash and Brown hot-foot it over there incognito to sus out the killer. This is riveting reading. I loved the paranormal touch of the hints sent to Nash from his dead friend, Max. In spite of his extreme scepticism, Nash follows them. I also enjoyed the description of that sprawling hotel with its many floors and wings, catering for everyone from families with young children to teenagers and young people to the elderly. I could see the spread of it with all its colourful entertainments, the very blue waters of the ocean and the warmth of the sun. I don’t know if it’s all real, somewhere the author has been or researched, or if it’s come straight out of her inventive mind, but either way I liked it! And of course, Nash and Brown get their killer. I did guess who it was early on, but of course, I doubted myself a few times and expected it might be someone else! But that’s the fun of a story like this. Once I’d started, I found it hard to put down.

Night Night Necropolis (DCI Nash Book 2) Kindle Edition
Book 2 of 5: DCI Nash ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
________________________________________
Following the Book 1 Hush, Hush Honeysuckle, Detective Chief Inspector Nash is back. This time he is paired with Molly Brown. They are investigating the murder of Alma Cullen who seems to have died of a heart attack. Not so, it’s murder! The job is then figuring out who killed her and why.
As if it is a second novel within the novel, middle-aged Connie and partner Jeff are vactioning to the Greek Islands to rekindle their relationship. Connie has seizure-like tics but Jeff has learned to deal with them and to shelter her from potential triggers.
At the resort, people begin dying of alleged heart attacks and the link is that some are from Alma Cullen’s town. Nash believes (spurred on by psychic Conrad Snow) that there is a connection so they are sent as father and daughter to Greece to find it.
What I found confusing at first since the two stories didn’t connect, is how they connected eventually and let to a shocking conclusion as the murder is solved, wandering past a number of red herrings on the way. If you love detective mysteries, you will love this one. I’m off to read #3 next.

Night Night Necropolis is the second book in the DCI Nash series and what a book it is! I didn’t think it was possible to trump the first as I loved it but somehow this does manage to do so.
The story follows DCI Nash as he investigates the murder of a local elderly woman, but when a young boy is murdered in a similar manner on the Greek island of Kos, Nash and partner Brown are quickly sent out undercover to help link the investigations.
What Black does best is create well developed, flawed yet relatable and endearing characters. DCI Nash and his partner DI Brown are both great, they play off each other well and I look forward to hopefully seeing more of them in the next book. I also love that my favourite character from book 1 manages to make an appearance in this book despite his death in the first ❤️.
Whilst I did think I’d guessed who the killer was fairly early on, black does a great job of keeping you guessing and making you doubt everything you think you know. A really great read, definitely looking forward to reading the next one! Whilst it is part of a series I would say it could be read as a standalone too.

My review of Night Night Necropolis
By
Katherine Black
Rating it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The second book in the DCI Nash series.
DCI Silas Nash and his team have the mysterious death of an elderly woman and discover she was murdered after receiving some information from a psychic source.
Nash insists on taken a trip to the Greek island of Kos under cover and takes along DI Molly Brown and to work with the Greek police, as the discovery of a body with the same MO, are both deaths connected?
Night Night Necropolis is an incredible andsuspenseful crime thriller, fast-paced with many suspects and twists.
The perpetrator could be any one of a number of people.
This is another one of brilliantly written books by Katherine Black, a fantastic cast of amazing characters and the scenic settings giving a visual impression of being there.
I thoroughly enjoyed this read, it's ending is a gripping one finishes on a lead in to the next case for the team in book 3.
I recommend this series very highly and they are read in order.

Fantastic page-turner!
I thoroughly enjoyed this whodunnit that had me reading into the wee hours because I couldn’t put it down. The story is told from two viewpoints, that of DCI Nash and Connie, a guest in the Kos holiday resort where the main action takes place. Connie is a standout amongst a whole host of acutely observed characters and takes the ‘unreliable narrator’ trope to another level. The two-hander structure works brilliantly in this unusual, well-paced novel, enhanced by vividly described scene-sets and an intriguing plot. I’ve read several books by Black, and this is one of the best. Highly recommended.

"Night Night Necropolis" by Katherine Black is a dark thrilling ride perfectly laced with sharp comedy. Katherine blends humor into the shadows of a serious, suspenseful plot, making it as entertaining as it is tense. DCI Nash is a witty, engaging lead, and following him through the twists was pure fun. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

About the Author:
June 17, 2023
Night Night Necropolis is the second book in a detective mystery thriller series involving police Detective Chief Inspector Nash, who is an unconventional character. In most books, films, and TV series starring a DCI character, they are portrayed as hard-drinking and often a lonely, bitter person suffering from burnout. Nash is none of those things. Although he shares the common trait of being hard-working and he has experience due to his years spent working on homicides, he also has a secret – he is homosexual. That sets him apart in a profession that is inclined to be macho, and it introduces an element of risk and tension regarding his status with his peers, adding to the overall tension in the book. Katherine Black, the author, is not interested in stereotypes and her books have a good grounding in reality.
Connie, the second main character in the book, is also unusual. She suffers from a condition called trigeminal neuralgia, which the author portrays brilliantly in all its horrible glory, of pain and epileptic-type fits of tics that produce sudden and total incapacity in the afflicted person until the episode of ‘ticking’ passes.
The two threads of the story, of Nash and Connie, are interwoven expertly throughout the book creating suspense and pace. The author’s phenomenal descriptive powers draw the reader in so that every scene becomes vivid – I felt I was right there in the action. Her storytelling makes the book an easy read, one that I didn’t want to put down, and there is a twist at the end that I didn’t see coming, such is the clever way it’s written.
I like the inclusion of the paranormal in the series and I hope to see more of Nash and the paranormal in the next book, Lie Lie Lullaby, which I have already bought.

Nash is back and better than before
The murder of a local elderly woman appears routine until they discover the manner the woman was murdered in and the quick subsequent murders of two children in Kos appear to be linked. To confirm his suspicions DCI Nash and DI Brown immediately head to Kos to investigate the murders under the disguise of father and daughter at the grand Necropolis Hotel Resort. As the death count ratchets up it’s a race against time as it appears Nash and Brown may be in the killer’s cross hairs. This is a very clever murder mystery that keeps you guessing. The detective show lover in me who is always shouting at the tv guessing who the culprit is was completely stumped as to who the murderer was here but when they are finally revealed you’ll realise the clues were there all along. I enjoy Katherine Black’s writing style she keeps it edgy, humorous and fast paced as with her previous books. I loved the introduction of a character with the rare disorder of Trigeminal Neuralgia bringing awareness to it and what it’s like. I hear Katherine Black has it as well meaning she has put some of herself into the character. I look forward to the next Silas Nash book

Another fantastic whodunnit!
The second book of the series, and woah! It really infuriated me that I didn't figure out who the killer was, but that is purely down to the phenomenal storytelling skills of the author! The clues were all there; I just didn't twig to them. Taking place on the isle of Kos, Nash and Brown have to figure out who, and more importantly why, the serial killer is taking out random guests. Great pace and the scene setting is second to none; the book transports you straight back to those lazy hot days and glorious nights of holiday in Greece. Although I hope that I never stay somewhere like the 'Hotel Necropolis'. A definite read for fans of detective stories. You won't be disappointed.

What an Entertaining Murder Mystery!
The richness of this novel, its wonderful setting and its “clean” entertainment value is reminiscent of my favorite mystery author, Agatha Christie. Author, Katherine Black, did not disappoint this reader.
I loved the plentiful quirky characters and snappy dialogue, the detailed descriptions of the settings, the red herrings, the tension and, most of all, the author’s fantastic sense of humor that is woven through the novel.
Detective Silas Nash is a likeable character to root for and I look forward to reading many more of his adventures and other Katherine Black books. Highly recommended!

The elderly detective, Silas Nash, returns. A local murder soon has implications with a murder in a Mediterranean holiday resort, and Nash and his sidekick, Brown, find themselves whisked away to solve it. The book is humorous in places, has the necessary tension and bloody bits in others and we are kept guessing until the final reveal. Some old characters (that is from book one return) but in unexpected ways - ‘nuff said on that. Black give us an excellent mystery to read and become engrossed in, and it is a thoroughly entertaining book. Her creation, Nash, leaps from the pages. It’s all very enjoyable stuff.

cracking mystery
Another corker in the Silas Nash series. I loved it. The story follows Connie and Jeff on a make it break holiday to Greece. Things are going fine after a few minor travel hiccups, but once they arrive at the hotel, a spate of deaths and disappearances at the hotel have everyone on edge.
The mystery is cleverly done. I got to 70% of the way through and realised I had no suspects on my list. I usually like to guess who the killer is, but in this one it was wide open and I had nothing.
The character of Nash is every bit as great in this book as he was in the last. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Another amazing book!
Nash is the sort of detective who likes his cases strictly within his comfort zone, and that doesn’t include messages from a dead friend!
Night night necropolis takes you on a journey from the cold & damp of the UK to the blue skies of Greece. What links the murder of a woman in England with a five star hotel in Greece?
Katherine Black cleverly gives us what looks like an impossible puzzle, with beautifully described locations and complex characters I can guarantee you won’t guess the twist at the end….

Enjoyable and entertaining!
A murder, mystery that keeps you turning the page.
DCI Silas Nash and DI Molly Brown investigate a murder here in England but are soon on their way across the waters when links send them to the Greek island of Kos.
Night Night Necropolis is the second book in the series and just like the first keeps you engrossed throughout. With well-developed characters and a well-written storyline, this is not to be missed.
I thoroughly enjoyed the banter between Nash and Brown.

I thoroughly enjoyed the banter between Nash and Brown.

Literal Shivers
The end of this book had me twisting in my own skin, despite the utterly satisfying conclusion and the amazing hint to hopefully the next Silas Nash book, which I will be keeping an eye out for. I love the playful yet deep, dynamic between Brown and Nash and I can't tell you how excited I was to see my favorite character from the first book reappear and help Nash with his investigation. All in all a great follow-up with yet another unexpected twist.

If you take this book to the vacation resort with you, you'll start suspecting everyone around you. Someone is killing everybody, starting with kids and working right up to the main character. Our patient detective, Silas, must get to the bottom of it. I'll only say that one of the main characters has a tic spasm (Sparky), and I'm still wondering what that had to do with it. Well written and entertaining.

A highly enjoyable thriller and a genuine page-turner. DCI Nash and his colleague DI Molly Brown are assigned to the Greek island of Kos after a series of unusual murders occur. An excellent array of strange, eccentric characters become the prime suspects. Beautifully written and the descriptions of the Greek island captivated me. A wonderful whodunnit with the culprit not unveiled until the final pages. Excellent.

I really enjoyed this second book of Silas Nash. Does anyone know if there are others planned for the series?
