No Going Back: A gripping murder mystery full of twists and turns (The Downland Murder Mysteries Book 7) Kindle Edition

by Robert Crouch (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 13 ratings

Be careful who you trust.

When journalist Harry Lawson is pulled from a private swimming pool, his drowning looks like a tragic accident, but for one small detail – he knew someone was going to kill him.

The three text messages he fired off to an old flame the night before confirm he’s a troubled man. But former friend and sleuth, Kent Fisher, believes the messages hint at something deeper and more sinister – an investigation that cost Harry his life.

When a second reporter dies, it’s clear there’s a killer with unfinished business.

As Kent inches towards a breakthrough, his close friend Detective Inspector Ashley Goodman instructs him to stop investigating, fearing for his safety.

But Kent knows there’s no going back, even though he risks losing a friend, and maybe his own life.

What readers are saying about No Going Back:

Oh my goodness, this series is just getting better and better and I think this is my favourite one to date. 20th May 2021.

It’s one for those who love the twists and turns of an investigation. This series gets better each time. 20th May 2021.

You will fall in love with the characters and will enjoy every second. 24th May 2021.

I would absolutely recommend reading this book, with various parts to this story coming together at the end, keeping you guessing at every stage, the creation of this whodunit mystery is another marvel! 29th May 2021.

Settled into what was a complex and engrossing murder mystery with loads of twists and red herrings to keep me glued to the pages right to the end. 2nd June 2021.

Once again he has produced another brilliant read, with enough intrigue to keep you guessing right up to the end as to his crime solving, while at the same time giving you an insight into his beloved animal sanctuary and other familiar characters. 6th June 2021.

As always, the writing is sharp and witty and there are plenty of laughs along the way, while the author keeps the pace thundering along like an out-of-control Jethro Tull steam train. 7th June 2021.

I had at least three different potential murderers in mind as the story progressed, none of which were right! I totally recommend this book (and the whole series). And what a way to end the book. 12th July 2021.

A complex plot with excellent characterisation and some cracking one liners. 21st August 2021.

The twists and turns of the plot kept me page turning, and like other readers I had different people being the murderer, but didn't guess the real one. 7th December 2021.

I'm a former environmental health officer (EHO) turned crime writer, using my years of experience to bring a fresh and distinctive twist to the classic murder mystery.

Inspired by the likes of Miss Marple—where ordinary people unravel extraordinary crimes—I created Kent Fisher, a sharp-witted EHO who stumbles into murder investigations and uncovers the dark secrets lurking behind everyday lives.

The Downland Murder Mysteries are perfect for readers who crave something more than formulaic police procedurals. While the series tackles contemporary themes, it remains firmly rooted in the cosier end of crime fiction – laced with irreverent humour, lovable characters and plenty of heart.

If you enjoy murder mysteries with wit, warmth, and an unconventional hero, welcome to Kent Fisher’s world.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful mystery
    Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2021
    Format: Kindle
    I am late to this series, which must be corrected because No Going Back is the seventh in the very fascinating Kent Fisher series. He is a private sleuth, runs an animal sanctuary in the South Downs of England’s southeastern coast, has a troubled love life and too many balls in the air. Then his estranged friend from years ago, Harry Lawson, is found dead in his swimming pool. Harry was an investigative journalist. Kent suspects that’s it’s no accident.

    Harry sent three unhappy texts to his ex on the night before he died. The texts concerned an investigation that Kent believes may have cost Harry his life. Then a second reporter dies, and Kent seeks the link between the two. Twists and surprises follow as Kent investigates with increasing determination, despite insistence from his friend D.I. Ashley Goodman that he stay out of it. Fat chance. Kent risks losing his old friend and even his life in finding the truth.

    From this reviewer’s American perspective, what is different and fascinating is reading about, for example, the local vet showing up “smelling of cattle in her jeans and wellingtons speckled with muck and straw;” or Kent himself, a sleuth but also a man fretting that his “animals are safe and well and there’s no damage to the barns after heavy rains.” There are lots of detective novels, but THIS is what appealed to me. It was as if James Herriot, author of All Things Great and Small, came back as a detective of the charming English countryside, although with occasional brawls in pubs and with cranky local officials. There are some wonderfully funny moments (love British sarcasm), and a dog named Columbo who is…well, you’ll have to read it. This is delightful. Five stars!

    I have been following this author since book No 1 "No Accident" and he's never once disappointed in his style of writing murder mystery novels.
    Once again he has produced another brilliant read, with enough intrigue to keep you guessing right up to the end as to his crime solving, while at the same time giving you an insight into his beloved animal sanctuary and other familiar characters.
    I personally feel that this book is his best to date - but don't take my word for it, read them for yourself as I'm sure you'll not be disappointed and despite having just finished book No 7, I'm already eagerly awaiting book No 8.

    I have enjoyed reading this book. The story is well planned and plotted throughout .

    The rapport and dynamics between the various characters flow continuously with plenty of witty interactive dialogue.

    Thought provoking ending! Did a mystery presented itself? Or has Happiness abandoned Kent? Either way Kent has a problem.
