This is a great mystery, full of colourful and varied suspects. You keep going from one to the next one, never really sure about what's going on.

And while all this is going on (including some attempts against Tom's life) Tom and Phil are struggling to plan their life together. And having all the people around them asking them about dates, and venues and babies is not really helping :P

I love these characters. They are the kind of characters that you'd love to take for a pint to your local. They are normal blokes, down-to-earth, easy to understand. I think that's the main reason why I'm so invested in this series :)

Now, to see what will bring us the next one :) ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
This book is dedicated to the late Roger Margason, a.k.a. Dorien Grey, author of the Dick Hardesty myseries, who sadly passed away while I was writing Blow Down. His words will live on.
First words
These days, when my big sister phones me, I don't expect anything worse than an invite to lunch and the latest gossip, so I hit accept call that night without even a hint of a suspicion of foreboding.
