The Bastwick Testament: A chilling Norfolk Broads crime thriller (DI Tanner Norfolk Broads Murder Mystery Series Book 13) Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 2,253 ratings

A CHILLING NORFOLK BROADS CRIME THRILLER!
A haunted crypt, a bullied boy, and an artist’s will: a benevolent gesture or a satanic curse?


When the body of a local artist is found mutilated inside a five-pointed star, DCI Tanner’s attention turns to the disciples of a Satanic cult. But when the man's body is discovered to be the cult’s leader, Tanner's interest is soon drawn to his will, and the five beneficiaries who’ve been named in it.

Set within the mysterious beauty of the Norfolk Broads, this fast-paced British detective series is a dark cozy Norfolk murder mystery with a slice of humour and a touch of romance, one that will have you guessing until the very end, when the last shocking twist is finally revealed.

The Bastwick Testament is a totally addictive gripping crime thriller, the twelth in a chilling series of serial killer books, ones which will rapidly convert followers of L J Ross, Faith Martin, Joy Ellis, Damien Boyd, J M Dalgliesh, and Elly Griffiths into David Blake devotees.

    The hum proud sarcasm between Tanned and Vickie is most enjoyable. The plot is also intriguing. The writing very good! And low and behold the author used many words I had forgotten the meaning of and had to look up.

    I will definitely read more of this author's books!

    I will definitely read more of this author,

    I never miss a Norfolk Broads book & this one is the very best of the series. It’s a tangled journey through the dark world of a mad man, as he confounds DI Tanner & seeks revenge on childhood tormentors! Children can be mean to those weaker or different. And, sometimes, those little victims grow up to plot exquisite revenge! Don’t miss this tale!

    You could read the last chapter first and still need to read the book to find you did it. Loved it.

    While the actual plot is very Interesting with quite a big surprise at the end, I found all the sarcasm and snark just too much! I enjoy some humor and even a bit of sarcasm along the way but on pretty much every page - no thanks.

    Usually enjoy this author’s work but this installment is a disappointment. Clogged with unnecessary banter that neither illuminates nor advances the plot and the completely annoying representation of transgender people as manipulative and dangerous, if you’re committed to this series go ahead but don’t have high expectations.

    WHAT STARTED OUT AS A DECENT WHO DONE IT SERIIES NOW RESEMBLES A CHEAP COMEDY CLUB ACT. DCI TANNER IS PORTRAYED AS A FLIPPANT COMEDIAN. THE D.S. ACTS MORE LIKE A TEENAGE AIRHEAD RATHER THAN SOMEONE WHO HAS A JURIS DOCTORATE.. I PREFER TO STICK WITH NOVELS WRITTEN FOR ADULTS.

    As well as a good plot there are several ‘laugh out loud’ moments. Both my wife and I are hooked!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Fine but a lot of banter could be avoided
    Reviewed in India on February 11, 2025
    Somehow the plot is incomplete with open questions. Last 2 paras summarizing what actually happened doesn't clarify. Then there is so much of banter, unwanted discussions which slightly irritates the reader. It makes the depth of story being lost. I like reading David Blake's books, but this one really dint meet up to the expectations.

    Very funny and witty. Tanners personality definitely comes through the pages and shines through the plot. Well worth the w.
