About this listen
'Fizzes with life' - STUART TURTON, Costa First Novel Award winner
'A thrilling ride with dark humour, action and a touching side that's hard to forget' SUN five stars (book of the week)
WHO BETTER TO SOLVE A MURDER THAN A DEAD DETECTIVE?
When Detective Inspector Joe Lazarus storms a Lincolnshire farmhouse, he expects to bring down a notorious drug gang; instead, he discovers his own dead body and a spirit guide called Daisy-May.
She's there to enlist him to the Dying Squad, a spectral police force made up of the recently deceased. Joe soon realises there are fates far worse than death. To escape being stuck in purgatory, he must solve his own murder.
Reluctantly partnering with Daisy-May, Joe faces dangers from both the living and the dead in the quest to find his killer - before they kill again.
Recruits are loving THE DYING SQUAD:
'At times evocative of Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim series, but without its hardboiled cynicism, this is an impressive and memorable debut' CRIME TIME
'Whip-smart, fresh with a dash of dark humour, The Dying Squad is a wildly entertaining read. Highly recommended' - ADAM HAMDY, Sunday Times bestselling author
'Adam has crafted something unique with The Dying Squad, mashing fantasy and crime together in a way I've not seen before . . . I'm sure it will be a huge success' - JAMES OSWALD, author of the Sunday Times bestselling Inspector McLean series
'Superbly plotted and packs an emotional heft rarely seen in a debut' - MW CRAVEN, CWA Gold Dagger Award winner
'Funny, creepy and compelling' - ANNA STEPHENS, acclaimed author of Godblind
'Grim, wry and inventive, a twisting tale with both guts and heart. Never has Lincolnshire seemed more desolate, or more menacing' - DAVID WRAGG, The Black Hawks©2021 Adam Simcox (P)2021 Orion Publishing Group

A Compulsive Read
Well, this book is not my normal sort of crime reading but I really, really enjoyed it. The author has a vivid imagination and the storyline is gripping. The characters grew on me and by the end of the book I really wanted Joe and Daisy May to become closer.
But I suppose that is another book-or at least I hope so. Don't leave it too long Adam!

Just not for me!!!
I’m sure this would appeal to some people but I just couldn’t get into it. The character of Daisy May was so screechy it made it hard to listen to. I listened to about chapter 12 and gave up because I couldn’t see where it was heading. Hard work!!!
