Quick Before They Catch Us

Nick Sharman Mystery #16

by Mark Timlin

Family trouble! Growing old quietly was never really an option for Nick Sharman. When he takes on a job for a prosperous Manchester businessman looking for his runaway teenage daughter, Meena, he should, perhaps, have known better. He finds himself in a race against time to save he girl from the kind of trouble that gives families a bad name. Trying to do the right thing, Nick swaps sides and ends up starring in his own version of a Straw Dogs shoot out with family and friends, where nobody comes out the winner.

Reviews

[Chris Stephens · Rating 4 out of 5]

Man, the writing just got better and better in this series.
Lots of character depth,
solid prose,
more believable violence aka action,
and i think i'll be sad when i finish the last 2.
