Official Summary

19 August 2022

Yeah, Waldo is back! I am sure you would have noticed that I have been a little obsessed with this series. These books have been sitting on my TBR for a while and once I read the first one, I could not get enough. I have raced through these books and I loved every minute.

David Jackson has a brilliantly creative voice and this series has turned me into a fan. While there are a lot of gory details and you are never left without a vivid picture, this is a series that will have you flying through the books. I hope there will be more DS Nathan Cody to come. I will be first in line for the next book.

DS Nathan Cody is faced with yet another gruesome murder. However, when his boss refuses to allow him into the crime scene, Cody feels as if he is about to lose the one thing he has left, his job. Forced to visit a therapist, Cody struggles to stay in control. The new case proves a challenge and Waldo has decided to finally make contact. Can Cody convince the therapist to clear him for full duty, solve the case and keep Waldo’s contact a secret?

I have been rather obsessed with this series, allowing these books to carry me away while putting daily chores on hold. This book even made a few appearances during my working day…. Don’t tell my boss. DS Nathan Cody is an intriguing character that I hope I get to spend more time with. If the author writes another book in this series.

The author kept Cody true right to the end. This man is conflicted and will often choose to do what you least expect. However, his actions are always understandable. Making him unpredictable which makes for a brilliant read.

This series has sailed onto my loved list for 2022 and I am keen to read more of this author’s work.

If you are keen on a gory crime thriller, then you will be glad you reached for this series. The last author to have me this engrossed in a crime thriller was Cody McFadyen. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is a gripping read that will keep you on the edge of your seat as you join Cody in his search for justice and answers.

Dear Mr Jackson, please continue Cody’s story, I would love to see another book in this series.

About The Author

Author bio from the author’s site

I am the author of a series of crime thrillers featuring Irish-American NYPD Detective Callum Doyle. The first in the series, Pariah, was Highly Commended in the Crime Writers Association Debut Dagger Awards. It is published by Pan Macmillan. The follow-ups are The Helper and Marked, and I am hard at work on the fourth in the series. My writing influences include Ed McBain, Dennis Lehane, George Pelecanos, Robert Crais, Michael Connelly and Harlan Coben, amongst many others. My favourite quote about my work is one from the Guardian, now carried on the front of my novels: ‘Recalls Harlan Coben – though for my money Jackson is the better writer.’

Thank you for visiting the blog and reading my review. Your support is appreciated. I have been a little obsessed with this series, but this was the last book, so there won’t be any more about DS Nathan Cody for the time being. (Unless the author sends another book out into the world). I hope you enjoy this series as much as I have and I look forward to hearing what you think. Leave a comment below. Until next time…Happy Reading!
