The Last Witness
The Last Witness: A DCI Daley Thriller | Denzil Meyrick
1 post | 4 read | 1 to read
This book is the much anticipated sequel to Whisky from Small Glasses, the first of the D.C.I. Daley novels. James Machie was a man with a genius for violence, his criminal empire spreading beyond Glasgow into the UK and mainland Europe. Fortunately, James Machie is dead, assassinated in the back of a prison ambulance following his trial and conviction. But now, five years later, he is apparently back from the grave, set on avenging himself on those who brought him down. Top of his list is his previous associate, Frank MacDougall, who unbeknownst to D.C.I. Jim Daley, is living under protection on his lochside patch, the small Scottish town of Kinloch. Daley knows that, having been the key to Machie’s conviction, his old friend and colleague D.S. Scott is almost as big a target. And nothing, not even death, has ever stood in James Machie’s way . . . Also available from Denzil Meyrick: Whisky From Small Glasses, Dark Suits and Sad Songs and The Rat Stone Serenade.

This was another good read in this little known detective series based in the remote location of Kinloch on the west coast of Scotland. Despite being set in this remote area certainly no lack of drugs issues or revenge killings affecting the area, having originally started in Glasgow years before. I do like this series and the central group of characters, but I do think I enjoyed the last one more. Worth searching out if you like detective books.

Melissa_J I think my husband may be interested in this series. I'll have to look out for it. 7y
Andrew65 @Melissa_J These are very enjoyable reads. Set in Kinloch on the West Coast of Scotland, which based on this writing is not free from crime or influence from Glasgow. Quite a bit of Scottish dialect in there and a number of f words. I hope to continue the series. The first one is 7y
