Somerset’s bloody past meets a dangerous present in this thriller from the bestselling DI Nick Dixon crime series.

When a badly decomposed body is discovered during an archaeological dig on the Sedgemoor battlefield, Avon and Somerset police are notified immediately. The remains are recent, and Detective Chief Inspector Peter Lewis knows exactly who they have found.

A single stab wound from a curved blade implicates convicted serial killer Daniel Parker, who Lewis arrested fifteen years ago.

With Parker’s appeal hearing imminent, Lewis comes under intense pressure to pin this new murder on him quickly and quietly. It’s an open and shut case—and Lewis should know—so why then does he insist on assigning it to DI Nick Dixon?

As Dixon starts to re-examine the original investigation, shocking revelations come in from the forensics team. And just as Dixon’s worst fears begin to surface, another body is found…

They just get better & better...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2020

So here we are at book 10 in the series - and they just get better & better!
From the very first book in the series, I thought this author had something and is now producing some of the best crime novels in the land - beautifully set up, incredibly well developed and written with style and attention to detail.
I always think it's a sure sign of an enthralling book if reading it makes you go find another book about a subject brought up in said same book. I've done this far too many times to mention with this series - this time reading up on the Battle of Sedgemoor and even reading a biography on the Duke of Monmouth (which was also excellent by the way!)
If a novel improves your knowledge at the same time as it entertains you, then all is right with the world...
A v rare 5 stars from me (I don't give them out like Smarties) but this book was everything you could want in a police procedural and more.
Massively recommended, go buy!

Once you start, you won't be able to put it down!

I read this superb story in 3 days, absolutely captivating including all the usual characters that we have come to know, like family. I have purchased & enjoyed all 10 'Nick Dixon' crime solving stories, this one 'Down Among the Dead' is, possibly, one of his best yet. Damien's comprehensive knowledge of Somerset locations always impresses me, as a local Somerset chap - every single location used in this latest tale is familiar to me, which made it even more enjoyable. Attending School in Bridgwater, we were steeped in the history of the 1685 Battle of Sedgemoor. I would recommend that new readers try to read all the ten books, so far, in chronological order.

Modern Murder And A Historical Background.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 May 2020

Verified Purchase

Another cracking tale from this master of the art which incorporates his extensive knowledge of the historic County of Somerset and its history. Which history is drawn upon relating to the Battle of Sedgemoor, of The Bloody Assizes and Hanging Judge Jefferys, with modern murder on the menu and a miscarriage of justice that needs to be rectified.

His local knowledge shines out in this difficult to put down book, a work enhanced by his extensive knowledge of the UK legal system.

Didn't enjoy as much as the other books in the series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 May 2020

Verified Purchase

I'm a big fan of Damien Boyd and the Nick Dixon series but I found this book a bit disappointing. I usually cant put the books down but I trudged through this and ended up skipping some of the battle history stuff, and there was a lot of it in this book, as I was getting bored. I suppose if you enjoy a lot of history you may find this more interesting. Not the usual gripping storyline as it kept digressing to the battle history and the detectives that work with Dixon seemed to fade into the background other than Louise. Even his fiance who was a great detective in the earlier books seems to have become just a babysitter. I probably would have given this book 3 stars but as I enjoy the writer and the Dixon series gave it 4. Although I didn't enjoy this book as much I still look forward to the next book.

I'm a devotefd fan of damien boyd and the Nick Dixon seties, but felt very let down by this book. Far to much battlefield diversions, too many characters being bouncef about with little time given to previously strong storylines. Intelligent Jane merely mentioned tending Monty. i sadly didn't look forward to reading this each evening when previous books i couldn't waIt. hoping damien gets back on track for the next book.

Great read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 June 2020

Full of twists and turns, this book will have you sitting on the edge of your seat.
Lewis, who was a young policeman at the time of two women murdered and others missing, had single-handed brought in the murderer, Parker, who he'd found hiding in the bushes, scythe in his hand. Years later, and now a DCI, Peter Lewis has doubts on whether Parker was guilty. He put the case into DI Dixon's hands to dig into Parker's past to prove his innocence.
Did Parker do it? Or is there more to these murders than meets the eye?
Great story and worth 5 stars.

Sorry,this book was a disappointment.Have loved all the previous Dixon books,but I found this boring.Skipped through most of the historical stuff as it just didn't grab my attention..I like a murder mystery set in the present ,not a history lesson .Hope the next book will get back on track .

If you want a really fantastic read , you can’t beat Damien Boyd for suspense, a really good storyline and humour thrown in as well . Alongside Angela Marsons , he is undoubtedly one of the best writers around . I love nick Dixon and his home and his work family - I really hope that there are many more books planned . Really recommend the whole series
