Product description

Review

'The Death of Remembrance is a properly frightening tale in parts, then, but there's plenty of humour too, and it’s also a fascinating study of how both policing and crime have changed' - Kirsty McLuckie, The Scotsman

'Meyrick’s ability to keep the pages turning almost of their own accord marks the Death of Remembrance as top-drawer crime fiction' - The Herald

'Daley is a character complete with depths, currents and sudden changes of the Atlantic ocean that crashes against Kinloch’s harbour walls. The remote peninsula and the claustrophobic nature of small-town life are perfectly painted' - Scotland on Sunday

'If you have never read one of Meyrick’s mysteries now is the time – before the TV series based on them begins' - Times Crime Club

'Crime fiction doesn’t get better than the DCI Daley series' --Waterstones Horsham

'The Death of Remembrance is a taut tale full of death, intensity and some startling revelations. It is a novel that fixes your attention from the beginning and keeps you fastened to the page right until the gripping, breathtaking end. I can only hope there is another decade of Daley and Scott to follow' --Live and Deadly Reviews

'Intense, emotional and with the author's unique blend of humour and experience, all wrapped up in a wonderful sense of place that springs so vividly to mind you can almost feel the fog wrap itself around you as it rolls across the shore' --JenMedBookReviews

A great read which acurately captures the hopeless lives lived in Glasgow in those days. The housing might be better but although the addictions have changed many lives are cut short and lived in misery and sickness. It might not be comfortable reading for some but it represents a reality.
However the story is a gripping page turner and it is hard to put down. All too soon it is finished and l am off to the short stories next. Well done Denzil.

Intense, emotional and packed with mystery - loved it
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2022

I can't quite believe this is book ten. And I say that as someone who came to the series very late and had a mammoth catch up read last year. I picked up on the series a couple of years ago when Mandie bought the first few books, and again when we saw Denzil Meyrick at Bute Noir a few years back. It's exactly my kind of series - police thriller, good humour, brilliantly memorable characters and a setting that stands almost as character in it's own right. I have mixed reading and listening to this series, including the spin off series Tales from Kinloch and all of the short stories and I have loved every last minute of it. This was no exception. I ate it up, finishing in disappointingly quick time. Disappointing for me that is - I have a long wait now for more news from Kinloch.

Now if you haven't read this series at all (and why not?) then I would definitely recommend that you read the books in order, including the short stories, to get the full benefit of the backstory as this is the perfect tenth anniversary tale. It pulls together many threads and characters from past and present in a way that will elicit a whole gamut of emotions - from anger, to shock, to melancholy, right through to laughter and just damn fine satisfaction in the whole story. The action flits back and forth between past and present, setting up what is about to happen and giving us as readers a reminder of some of Scott and Daley's old nemeses. It also brings back to mind one of the most shocking tragedies to befall the residents of Kinloch in any of the books, not that anyone who read book nine really needs a reminder. Still reeling.

I have really grown to love the characters of Jim Daley and Brian Scott. Both are flawed, and both bear battle scars, mentally and literally. it's fair to say that it's the psychological scars that are troubling Brian the most this time around, as readers of the series will understand, and he is in a really dark place at the start of the book. It adds a layer of conflict to an already tense story, and puts Brian in a tough position both professionally and personally. There is still a good amount of humour throughout the darkness, and his malapropisms continue to amuse as does a particularly awkward dinner over at the Daley's. As for Daley, he is under pressure to help Brian, do his duty as a copper and navigate the murky waters of a troubled relationship with his wife Liz ... Situation normal for him there then.

This book is so multi layered that it would be remiss of me to say too much more about the plot for fear of giving something crucial away. Needless to say, the joy is in the reading. Lots of unspoken questions finally answered and perhaps one or two very unexpected revelations through the course of the book. There is a small element of the author's Tales from Kinloch series bleeding into this book, and the otherworldliness of Hamish and his gift of understanding, as well as a nod or two to other elements of the book that you really need to read to understand. The series are, afterall, two sides of the same coin. Set in the same locale just a few decades apart. It was a beautiful touch, one that left a smile on my face. It was a just conclusion to a certain story arc, but one which has also left a raft of new questions in its wake, the main one being - how the hell do you follow those last two books?

Intense, emotional and with the authors unique blend of humour and experience, all wrapped up in a wonderful sense of place that springs so vividly to mind you can almost feel the fog wrap itself around you as it rolls across the shore. It's everything I didn't know I wanted from the series and more and most definitely recommended. Can I say it's a 'happy' anniversary? Yes, and no. Justice is served in a truly satisfactory and often pulse pounding way and who could ask for anything more than that?

Another great story from Kinloch! DCI Daley and DS Scott at their best….with Hamish his inimitable self! You brought Campbeltown back to life yet again (we lived there many years ago and your books got us to return for a visit last year)! The storyline was, as previous ones, very good. I also smiled at the little reference to the ‘author with the funny name’ …look forward to the next book. Thank you.

Very disappointed as I've read every SIX Daley series.
The flashbacks have been done to often before, in previous books. The almost constant Malaysians from Brian and also Hamish is just annoying.

Guessed the mastermind despite a catch of red herring. Expect the unexpected, an intriguing plot and a classic example of Chinese whispers.

This really follows on from the last book beautifully; dealing with the aftermath of Annie’s death, McMillan’s suspicious activities, Brian and Hamish’s grief and Jim’s crumbling marriage. We learn a lot about Brian’s backstory with flashbacks to his early career while the present day story rips along.
Thanks Denzil for another great book. I think I’ve guessed who Hamish’s favourite author is!😂
