Henry Christie thought he'd solved the case that drew him out of retirement, but finds himself joining forces with Diane Daniels once again when the body of a young woman is discovered close to the scene of the chilling murders that took place at Hawkshead Farm. The deaths appear to be linked, and when Henry and Diane stumble upon an execution in progress and narrowly avoid becoming victims themselves, Henry embarks on a mission to bring a merciless gunman to justice, as well as a very personal quest for revenge.

Another taut thriller for 'retired' Henry Christie! ( Book 27 )

'Bad Timing' is another high octane investigation for Henry Christie. He is persuaded to come out of retirement again. A dangerous killer is still on the loose in his locality in Lancashire. Although Henry runs the Tawny Owl pub, he is delighted to persuade Superintendent Rik Dean to work as a consultant with the police, using his past experience and expertise.

I always enjoy reading a novel by Nick Oldham, and this is no exception. It follows on from' Wildfire'. A young woman's body is discovered not far from the farmhouse where her parents were brutally murdered a month earlier.

Henry has a great working relationship with Diane Daniels so that yet again they become embroiled in another thrilling page-turning investigation involving money laundering, theft, grisly murders and really hard-nosed gangsters. The trail takes them around the country and down to London. There are twists and turns galore, with well-drawn characters, some of whom are chilling and grotesque, making it a must-have read for all lovers of this genre.

Galadriel.
