DI Nick Dixon is on the hunt for a vicious serial killer, following a trail of fingerprints and DNA across west Somerset.

When the body of a young woman is found on the building site of a nuclear power station, work grinds to a halt. The body bears all the hallmarks of yet another random murder at the hands of the escaped killer. Then Dixon finds a motive.

Fighting for his place on the Major Investigation Team, he soon uncovers a family’s desperate search for the truth, exposing a web of corruption and death that will shake the billion pound construction project to its very foundations. But who can be trusted when so much money is at stake?

Can Dixon find the killer under intense pressure from the top of government? And, can he do it before anyone else has to die?

Cracking good read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 May 2019

Verified Purchase

One of the few authors I keep an eye out for their next books, and again, I wasn't disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed it, right up to the end.

My only criticism would be that the author can't assume that the reader knows the characters and storylines from the previous books. This story followed on from the events in the last book, which if you hadn't read or had forgotten the plot, meant you were a little confused to start off with.

Pre-ordered

Having read all his previous books i pre-ordered this latest one in the strength of having enjoyed those - this storyline follows on from his last book but unfortunately I had read quite a few other books since that one and struggled to remember the previous book's plot. This latest book starts without a basic synopsis of what had happened before but expected the reader to jump right back in to the story so far - it loses a star for that - I would still but his next book though.

Re read previous book before starting on this one

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2019

Verified Purchase

I have always enjoyed the Nick Dixon series of books but this one started off like the second half of a story so a reader would benefit from reading the previous book again to remind themselves of what has taken place. I know it’s a bit nit picky but I was irritated by the use of upper case S when a police officer was addressing a superior officer as ‘sir’ which happens a lot in this book. Some one is only referred to as Sir if they are a peer of the realm or knighted. Some parts of the story stretched credibility but I suppose that’s why we read crime fiction.

Another excellent read

Having waited a year for this book to be written and published, I must say that I am not disappointed.
I have enjoyed Beyond the Point as much of not more than the others. Once again I struggled to put the book down and couldn't wait to pick it up again.
Thank you Damien for being an amazing author and I wait signatures breath for the next in the series of DI Nick Dixon.

SUCH A GOOD READ - UP TO THE DAMIEN BOYD THRILLING STANDARD

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 June 2019

Verified Purchase

I was introduced to the DI Nick Dixon books by my mum as I live in the area where the books are set and she thought I might enjoy them. Thank goodness she did. I have found with each book they get better and better AND " Beyond the Point " is no exception. All of his books can be read as a 'stand alone' but I have so enjoyed watching DI Nick NIXON develop as a character. My brother and his wife who live in Australia have read these books and on a recent trip to England I took them to some of the locations in the books ( including the Red Cow which serves lovely home made food ) which they thoroughly enjoyed. Beyond the Point has so many twists and turns that I couldn't put it down. the scenes are set so descriptively that I can visualise all the action and locations. It reads so well to me that I didn't once get bored with any descriptive narrative.The only down side is I now have to wait for the next instalment.
Thank you Damien Boyd for giving up the day job to concentrate on writing - your books are so well worth the read.

Gripping police procedural set in Somerset

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2020

Verified Purchase

The opening section of Beyond the Point is a continuation of the story in the previous book, Deadlock. I have read all the books in this series, but even so had to rack my brains to remember what had happened in a book I had read over a year ago (I cottoned on eventually). Some reviewers have even had to go back and read Deadlock again. This is a minor quibble, but might be off-putting for a reader who is new to the Nick Dixon books.
As always, the main investigation is a complex one that requires Nick and his team to delve back into old cases until the motive becomes clear. A lot of the action takes place in the unusual setting of the construction site for a new power station (Hinkley Point C). This is a restricted area and further complicates the investigation, bringing Nick Dixon into conflict with senior officers. Like most other fictional detectives of his rank, he does not have a lot of time for his media-conscious, budget-obsessed superiors, but does not let it hold him back from doing what he needs to do.
Another thread to this gripping story is the poisoning of Dixon’s dog, Monty; as if he did not have enough to contend with. As regular readers will know, Dixon’s favourite way to wind down, and think about the case he’s working on, is to take Monty for a walk on the beach at the end of a long hard day. Nevertheless, he manages to stay focussed on the case as he waits for news of Monty.
Beyond the Point is the ninth book to feature Nick Dixon and his colleagues; one of the reasons I really like reading a series like this is that you are already familiar with the team of detectives, you don’t have to spend time becoming acquainted with them, and you can just jump straight into the story.
The Somerset countryside plays a large part in these books and, if made into a TV series, would surely do for the tourist industry there what the books by Ann Cleeves have done for Shetland and Northumbria. As I didn’t read this immediately when it first came out, there is not long to wait now for the next in the series, Down Among the Dead. I hope there will be many more books in this series.

Damien Boyd does it again!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 May 2019

One of the few authors that I pre-order books from, I have been waiting impatiently for the latest instalment in the long running Nick Dixon series and when I finally got to read it I wasn't disappointed. The usual characters are back, Nick, his girlfriend Jane and of course Monty the dog! It was a great read and I really enjoyed the story but my only niggle (and I think other people have mentioned it) is that when you read a lot of books (like I do) it is sometimes hard to remember what happened in the previous book you read, so a recap would be nice. But other than that it was the usual excellent read and I really hope there will be another book in this series.
