Mr Nice- John Nicholl- Crime
“It’s every parent’s worst nightmare. The greater the evil, the deadlier the game…”
Maddy is a successful solicitor. She has split from her husband Dale after his drinking
got worse and led to threats and violence. Maddy lives with Lottie, her young daughter.
When Dale arrives late one night and causes a disturbance the neighbours yet again
call the police. He yet again wants to see Lottie and “I'll go once I’ve given her a hug”.
It’s the early hours of the morning. Maddie awakes the next morning to find an empty
bed and Lottie missing. Only her husband could have taken her- couldn't he? I found
Martin unsettling (I'm not giving anything away by saying he’s the perpetrator) and
was very well written. We get alternating chapters from his perspective as well as from
Maddy and DI Kesey. It was nice for DI Gravel to be mentioned a couple of times
(I liked him in John’s other books ) and Kesey is fast growing on me. A tenacious
woman who gives her misogynistic boss as good as he gives and gets the job
done. A well written story that kept me between its pages

Your worst nightmare is about to come true...
When Megan discovers that her young daughter is missing, she thinks that her ex-husband is to blame.
But was it someone else entirely?
Someone out for revenge? Someone with a grudge?
As DI Laura Kesey begins her investigation, she discovers that the case is infinitely more wicked than she could ever have imagined.
The clock is ticking.
The search is on.
But will Kesey find Lottie before it’s too late?
It’s every parent’s worst nightmare. The greater the evil, the deadlier the game.
