One Punch is the third book I’ve read by Keith Dixon. I regard him as a safe pair of hands who won’t disappoint. He has an elegant, pleasing style and his books are thankfully free of typos. I preferred One Punch to the first book, Storey, which I also enjoyed. It’s set in Coventry, where I lived for five years, so I could picture the places mentioned, which helped. Having read Storey, it was satisfying to witness ex-policeman Paul Storey’s character develop after he’s employed as a driver and aide by ex-boxer turned property developer, Bran Doyle. Storey goes beyond the call of duty to help his financially challenged, embattled boss, who's involved in a grudge match with a nasty bunch of characters over who can develop their gym first, although there's more to the story than that. There’s plenty of gritty action, twists and turns, and credible, complex characters along the way to maintain the suspense and the reader’s interest.

Businessman Doyle wants to hire ex-cop and hero Storey who is not interested but changes his mind when he finds out Doyle is under police investigation
— Introduction —
A Paul Storey Crime Thriller #2
When Storey meets Norton in the bar of a luxury hotel, he is not so sure he likes what Doyle’s right-hand man says: a job offer as a chauffeur including ‘general duties’ can only mean “standing around pretending to be alert but actually bored as shit.“. If Storey did not need an income, he would have gladly passed. He suspects the only reason Doyle wants to employ him is because of his recent heroic actions involving breaking a Syrian smuggling ring and rescuing a policewoman, which had caused major headlines in the newspapers.
— Storyline —
The next morning an unexpected phone call makes Storey change his mind. Jackie West, his former colleague and the policewoman whose life he saved, tells him to back away from Doyle as he is under investigation. Doyle’s luxurious mansion in Coventry is bugged and that is why Jackie knows of the job offer. This settles it: Storey becomes Doyle’s driver and security man. Reporting for duty Storey meets Doyle’s wife Charlotte, daughter Felicity and her boyfriend, Darren who happens to be Norton’s nephew. Are you still following the story? Before he knows it, he is living in the cottage on the Doyle estate and keeping watch at a cocktail party. Seems strange to have security at a private party but apparently, that is how the Doyle household goes about things. Apart from a fight, an attractive house decorator by the name of Kate and a slightly drunk Mrs Doyle, Storey’s first day of work is just fine.
Storey becomes completely drawn into the lives of all the people living with and working for Doyle, including Doyle himself: he learns about his boss’s former boxing career (balancing on the thin line of legality) as ‘One Punch’ and the fight of his life against ‘Handsome’ Frank Ivory, from then on Doyle’s arch enemy. Doyle’s boxing days are over but he wants to leave a legacy, a place for boys like he once was when he started to train as a boxer. That is why he is building a gym and the reason Doyle involves Storey on the project. Like all the other assignments, Storey does not know whether to be pleased or whether to feel tricked and manipulated but somehow, even if he barely acknowledges it to himself, he starts to like his boss. Still, there is something fishy with the building project and on top of that, the police investigation (including the bugging) is ongoing. An ordinary theft turns into something much nastier when loyalties are questioned and nothing is what it seems … will Storey get to the bottom of it?
— My Thoughts —
For me, One Punch is the first book I read featuring Paul Storey, and what is there not to love about Keith Dixon’s protagonist?! He is the strong, silent type who can easily blend in and yet stands out because of his height and his looks, who can wear jeans or a tuxedo and yet always look the part. He is also never afraid to speak his mind and this rare quality makes him the perfect man for the job according to Doyle. Despite his flaws, I also liked Doyle’s character and was drawn into his story, even if I hate boxing. The story starts steadily but the pace builds towards the riveting ending. Although this is the second book n the Paul Storey Crime Thriller series, this book is perfectly readable as a stand-alone. With One Punch Keith Dixon has created an engrossing and entertaining thriller written in a style I just love: with a touch of humour and sarcasm.

Paul Storey is an ex-copper, now working as a driver/security man and One Punch is the nickname of his new employer, Bran Doyle. Doyle made his money through boxing – not always legal fights, either – and now has a business as a property dealer and developer. He’s having money troubles, family troubles, old acquaintance troubles. In fact, none of the characters in this book seems to be who they appear to be superficially. Its great strength is the way it unfolds their individual stories.
This is the second in a series but is perfectly good as a stand-alone. I haven’t read anything else by this author but I can see that changing! The writing is very good, pulling you into the story. The characters are three-dimensional and complex. Unlike many a crime book these days, which seem to strive to find the most shocking twist, the power of this book is that it all feels extremely plausible. I enjoyed this a great deal and highly recommend it.

Firstly, my thanks go to Keith for allowing me to take part on this tour.
Paul Storey is an ex-cop who is working as a bodyguard/driver for Bran Doyle. Bran Doyle is also referred to in the book as ‘One Punch’.
Throughout the book, we are introduced to many characters, which I found at times, hard to follow but despite this, they all played out their roles within the book relatively well.
I felt it was a little slow-paced compared to other crime thrillers I’ve read but it works really well and builds the tension up. There were times where I was quite literally on the edge of my seat wanting to know which way the book was going to take me.
Keith has a unique way with words. The storyline/plot works really well, which in my opinion really makes the book.
So, in a nutshell, is this a crime thriller a book I’d recommend? Absolutely! It’s currently free for kindle, so why not click the buy button and give it a go?!

We live in a age where people change jobs frequently, and what I particularly liked about this second book in the Paul Storey series is that Storey, an ex-cop, is scrambling to find a job. His reputation (in the first book) as a cool tough guy who killed some people in foiling a smuggling operation has preceded him, and he is offered a job as a chauffeur with "other general duties" as well.
He's skeptical at first, commenting that after the publicity he had gotten on the smuggling involvement, "You'd be amazed the offer I had after that little event. TV interviews, book offers, a couple of women wanted to marry me . . . I don't know, you shoot someone and people either want to bury you under a ton of shit or make you the new pope."
Storey is in Coventry now, having had his fill of London, and decides to take the job, working for Brian Doyle, a former boxer, now in his 60's, who has apparently made a fortune in real estate and now in the process of building a boxing center. He was known as "One Punch Doyle" and initially makes a poor impression on Storey as an arrogant rich guy.
But Storey is an adventurous type and when he learns through a police contact that Doyle's mansion is bugged for undisclosed reasons, he becomes intrigued and wants to know more. The pay is good, and he decides he can put up with Doyles' boasting about his past boxing triumphs, ending in "one punch" knockouts.
From this point, Storey finds out about old boxing animosities, money lenders, bookies, racketeers, a kidnapping. It begins with Storey discovering petty thefts at the construction site, being knocked on the head and left unconscious while the building is set on fire. He recovers in time to put out the fire, but realizes something big is going on here, and he was being silenced. A murder, not Storey's fortunately, takes place a short time later, and Storey finds himself inextricably involved.
While Doyle is at the center of these developments, Storey thinks, despite his initial dislike, that Doyle may actually be a decent person. But boxing and money have always attracted their share of unsavory types, and Doyle may be a target as much as Storey himself. Storey finds himself in the crosshairs of some vicious characters.
It's a satisfying crime novel as it goes beyond simplistic characterization and explores the motives of multiple individuals who begin by wanting to make money but cut corners, both small and large, fatal in some cases, in their pursuit of wealth.

Ex-cop Paul Storey is back in Keith Dixon’s sequel to the first book in his new series. Storey needs a job, and despite advice to the contrary from friends on the Force, he opts for a simple driving job with Bran ‘One Punch’ Doyle, an illegal fights boxer now dabbling in property development. Driving, and, as he soon finds out, with a bit of security work thrown in. The Doyle family, and those surrounding it, all seem to be hiding their own secrets, and Storey isn’t one to mind his own business. Then comes the first murder and matters get out of control as the protagonist finds himself on the front lines of Doyle’s confrontation with his past.
Unlike the first book in the series, we don’t spend time getting to know Storey’s past and the tale takes off almost immediately. Author Dixon maintains a cracking pace throughout and chapters fly by as the situations he places his protagonist become more and more complex, leading to an explosive ending that doesn’t disappoint.
As in all of Dixon’s novels, the characters carry a realism in their actions and dialogue which make them believable from the start and there’s never a dull moment even when the action is taking a rest. Of particular enjoyment was the back and forth between Storey and his new boss, a tussle of strong-willed personalities that takes no prisoners. A superb crime thriller from a master of the genre.

When former cop Paul Storey takes a job with ex-boxer Bran Doyle, it’s obvious nothing is going to be straightforward. But as Storey begins to dissect the politics and relationships within his new employer’s household, he also learns that Doyle is of interest to the police. Working out what’s really happening, and why, means keeping his eyes open and considering his options. When a dead body turns up, Storey wonders if he’s made a bad decision…
Continuing the adventures of his newest hero, Keith Dixon is adept at keeping the reader in suspense. While on the surface nothing much seems to happen, the clues to something bigger pile up, leaving a sense of unease about what Storey has got himself into this time. As always, the characters are clearly defined, but with just enough information to keep us guessing about who’ll be on the right side when the crap hits the fan.
The first book in this series (Storey), had me gripped from the start and this one is no different. Though Dixon’s writing appears deceptively simple, he has a knack of building tension so slowly we are barely aware of it. The language is clever and witty, with an originality that’s a sheer delight. As with the first book, plot-wise it’s another slow-burner, but it’s also very difficult to put down.
A cracking good read from a highly talented writer.

"They call me One Punch Doyle."
Ex-policeman, Storey, is recruited by Brian 'One Punch's Doyle to be his chauffeur and bodyguard. Doyle is an old boxer who made money in property investment and now lives with his wife and daughter in a big house in Coventry. Something is going on, something none too savoury. But what? Storey learns from a police contact that the house is bugged, but not why. He soon finds himself involved in the lives of those surrounding his employer.
The author has captured a real gritty feel of the seedier side of life in a largish city without excess over dramatisation. The characters have a three dimensional presence, good and bad sides mixed together, becoming real people rather than beings in a book. The plot, too is feasible: this really could be happening somewhere near you.
This is the first of Keith Dixon's books that I have read and it certainly will not be the last. My thanks to the author for gifting me a prepublication copy.
Recommended to all who enjoy realistic crime novels.

Book 2 of the Paul Storey series... I was in two minds as to whether or not to read this, having been disappointed by book 1 of the series. This one was better than its predecessor but I still wasn't really taken with it.
Somehow this story didn't all hang together convincingly for me either, which is a shame, sorry Keith.

Okay I finished, the last half I pretty much skimmed through - a lot of dialogue not really going anywhere. Then I felt the police procedure was wrong, the guy is banged up in the police station, arrested and being interviewed, but somehow the MC and the wife, have a private interview with the guy, I've watched enough 24 Hours in Police Custody (TV Show) to know that can't happen. Then of course all the violence the book has been leading up to sees people shot and killed and... nothing happens to the MC. Unrealistic in my opinion, so was pretty disappointed with it. But it got me through a few sessions of babysitting Level students doing their revision - so there is that. Will not be pursuing and more books by this author.

This is the first of this author's books that I have read, and I loved it. An extra bonus for me is that the book is set in my home town of Coventry, I think that its the first ever thriller set here!
But on to the book, I loved the plot, the eclectic cast of characters are all really well developed and believable, and the atmosphere Dixon manages to create is really compelling.
I particularly liked the conflict in Paul Storey between his old life as a police officer, and his new loyalty to his new boss, it provided another level of complexity to his character and the also the plot.
This is an excellently written book and highly recommended for anyone who is a fan of thrillers.

This is the second book in the Paul Story Crime Thriller Series and continues the series with a bang. Brian, a boxer hired ex-cop Paul Storey to be his driver, and........... It's the and that becomes the stuff that books are made of. What began as a boring job as a driver has turned into so much more. Mystery, crime, murder, family secrets and no shortage of suspense or drama. No spoiler here, but you'll really enjoy this book if you like crime thrillers. Well written with great characters.

This is the first novel I have read by Keith Dixon. I will try anything once. a
But I must say...I will be reading more. Especially the "Storey" series.
Paul Storey is an ex-cop. He's not overly strong, or overly smart..just a normal guy trying to make a living. So, this makes him a complex personality...and Keith Dixon pulls it off perfectly.
I would put the book down to try my hand at some housework, and a few minutes later, would pick it up again...I just HAD to see what was going to happen next.

While I haven't read the first Paul Storey book, I didn't find myself questioning the relationship of Paul with the recurring characters. I love when I read a thriller or mystery and it is not obvious where the story is going. There was good character development in this book and I felt as if I was right there with Paul trying to figure out what was going on behind the scenes. This is a book worth reading. I was given a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Even though I didn't read the first book in this series, I was able to follow the history without difficulty. The British slang is sometimes hard to decipher, but not distracting. The story narration jumped from character to character, often without designating who is narrating, which was sometimes, not exactly confusing, but more distracting. Good characters held my attention, and the plot was plausible.

This was an interesting set-up – not your common or garden thriller, but set in Coventry – somewhere I've never been and I struggle to think of another book set there. Set in the world of has-been boxers – another first for me, it was a tale of rivalries, secrets, money deals and underworld crime. The people-trafficking felt like a bit of an afterthought but overall an enjoyable, easy read with a likeable laid-back ex-cop as the main character.

Tense
I enjoyed the storyline, the plot and characters...the build up was a bit slow then suddenly ....the finale? The end was far to abrupt and it was as if the story was stopped mid sentence, hence 4*. I just hate abrupt endings, they leave me extremely dissatisfied after ploughing through a novel. Glad it was a freebie and not a purchase!

full of ‘F’ bombs
Hey I only read a few words, but that was more than enough for me. Didn’t see the point of torturing myself any more. I prefer books without swearing etc as I don’t use language like that.

Fights above it's weight
A quick moving and very intriguing thriller. Action galore and thoroughly enthralling. Keeps the reader on their toes from start to finish.

I had trouble feeling empathy for Paul Storey; didn't find any of the characters particularly likeable; still I rated it 4.1 stars.
June 26, 2017
This book was too meandering for my taste. There was not enough action and I found it unhelpful when it referred to incidents in the first book in the series, as I have not read it.

The life of an Ex-Cop.
A very interesting and quick story of an old fighter , his family, and the ex-policeman he hires as a driver after seeing the man's exploits from a case in the paper. The story focuses around Doyle, the fighter, who wants to build a gym , has security people, and lives in a mansion . The characters are good, we get to really know his family through their interactions. Great story for a quick crime read!
