Carnival season is off to an explosive start in this thriller from the bestselling DI Nick Dixon crime series.

Detective Chief Inspector Nick Dixon arrives late for Bridgwater’s winter carnival. He’s come to see the squibbing, the traditional firework display that brings the town’s November festivities to a dramatic close. But when the squib of Avalon Carnival Club president Richard Webb is lit, it explodes, engulfing him in flames.

Dixon knows he’s just witnessed a killer making a very public statement. And he can’t help feeling it’s only the beginning.

After his suspicions are confirmed at the Burnham-on-Sea carnival forty-eight hours later, the race is on to find the killer before the next event in a nearby town.

Can Dixon stop the killings before any more lives are lost? And can he do it with police Professional Standards investigators breathing down his neck?

Amazing book but ….

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 June 2022

As always this book is truly brilliant!!! Such a good writer, his characters are so real and Damien really puts you there, edge is your seat wow!!! My only gripe… why on earth do people give the author one star feedback because the thought this was a kindle and can’t turn the pages? Really annoys me this author spends months writing for us, all that work and someone puts a downer on it because it’s a paperback! FEEDBACK is your thoughts on the story and what you think of it not because you didn’t read the description and bought a paperback instead of kindle. Moan over!

Exciting, fast-paced, another excellent Nick Dixon story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 June 2022

Nick Dixon is a nice chap, honest, brave, and exceedingly good at detecting. I think this book 12 is the best one yet (although maybe I think that about each volume as it becomes available). My only caveat is the endings are too rushed: crime solved, criminal/s apprehended, no extra page to relax and enjoy the moment. I wanted to read just a little bit about the Professional Standards duo feeling just a little embarrassed!

A great read, with Nick under suspicion of murder, everyone’s favourite people to hate (estate agents), police’s favourite people to hate (Professional Standards Department) and a sprinkling of Albanians. Fast-paced, great sleuthing. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Another winner that keeps you guessing.

Another thrilling read from Damien Boyd, that keeps you guessing right till the very end.
Being able to picture many of the places, as well as knowing how spectacular Bridgwater carnival is, brings an extra, nostalgic, bonus to this book for me. This aside, the Nick Dixon series never fails to please. Carnival Blues, like all the other books in the series keeps you totally invested in both characters and storylines. I managed to wait a few days before starting to read this latest instalment, but once I begun, I just couldn’t put it down. Now begins the wait for whatever comes next for Nick, Jane and Monty. It can’t come soon enough!

Exactly the standard that I have come to expect from this author. Fast paced with well developed characters and a killer who is easy to overlook in a situation with more than its fair share of red herrings.

Again the twist & turns keep you guessing until the end, there is always an unexpected twist which you try to figure out but fail. I have enjoyed reading another chapter of Nick Dixon 's life & hope there wlil be another one. I am always a little sad when I come to the end of a Damien Boyd book so fingers crossed it won't be to long before the next installment.

I find it hard to criticize as the book is well paced, keeps you engaged & the the background life of Nick & Jane is a great human element but not an over sentimental one.

I could read it in a day but force myself to stretch it out over a week as I know we will have to wait sometime for the next book.

Thanks again to Damien for a great book - please keep writing & quickly I want to know if it's a boy or a girl.

Was Nixon Guily of Murder

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2022

An enthralling tale where the burglar that attempted to rob Nixon a year earlier died. It appears that his actions at the time are now being looked at as excessive force. The tale unfolds through different murders that Nixon was not guilty but was being framed by an Albanian gang. Will he make it to his wedding and birth of hi baby without getting into more trouble. I wait to see
