Description

A Tapping At My Door is a crime thriller, the first in David Jackson’s DS Nathan Cody crime thriller series. So obviously I bought the first one because as I’m sure you all know by now, there should be a law against starting a series anywhere else but with book one. I thought he was really weird to start with until his personal demons were explained but I'm not sure the story benefited from that delay.

I found it difficult reading the last few pages, for reasons I won’t go into, and I know that many people will feel the same but it was handled perfectly. For some reason, this ex can't let things go, though she behaves like an agony aunt, who actually makes matters worse. At times there are loads of gory details, but if you can stomach the blood and guts that get spilt along the way you will love this story.By completing your purchase, you agree to Audible's Conditions of Use and authorise Audible to charge your designated card or any other card on file. From the best-selling author of Cry Baby, the beginning of a brilliant and gripping police procedural series set in Liverpool, perfect for fans of Peter James and Mark Billingham. Lording over all of this is DCI Stella Blunt (yes, that is the actual surname that Jackson decided upon) who slams a lot of doors and bellows at a lot of people and does whatever else one would expect from a grumpy DCI in trope-land. And that is one of the main reasons that this series will work well-we are made to really care about this fictional policeman!

The motive made sense, but the reason for leaving the birds as some sort of 'clue' didn't make any sense. It was haunting, it was eerie and because I know the places so well, it was more than a little unnerving at times. I have no doubt his relationship with his dysfunctional family will provide us with plenty of drama in future books!There is a gruesome torture scene later in the book, which reminded me of my avoidance of male-authored crime novels which seem to do this more often than female-authored books. We are never bogged down with too much of the procedure and instead just remain at the heart of the action with various asides where the story is allowed to slow down to allow our main characters time to digest exactly what is happening, whilst at the same time try and deal with what's going on in their own lives. Cody’s unit, the Major Incident Team, is housed in the police station here in this deprived area of Liverpool.
