D S Floyd

D S Floyd is best known in his native west London for his Mads & Lyndsey trilogy of books, based in Brentford and the surrounding areas. Many readers discovered these books by coming across him in the local pubs that are heavily featured in the books, as he sat in a corner drinking a pint or three while offering them for sale. Others when they came across the brightly dressed group who undertook the Mads & Lyndsey walks where they attempted to pub crawl all the pubs visited by “Beertectives”, Mads & Lyndsey, in a day.
Regardless of where they came across the books, most agree they are great fun and well worth a read.

Must Flea is a fast moving murder mystery. I was hooked from the first page. The main characters, Lyndsey and Mads, are likeable, witty and believable as amateur sleuths. They are ably supported by a host of colourful characters from Brentford Market. The plot keeps you turning the pages and guessing ‘whodunnit’ right up to the end.

I really enjoyed the previous book by D S Floyd, Must Flea, and thought that would be a hard act to follow. I need not have worried. Blood Read is a thumping page-turner of a mystery. Mads and Lynds banter their way through pubs, libraries and red herrings aplenty. Thoroughly recommended!

What a cracking read, another gripping instalment and all of the previous loose threads tidied up with travels to Ireland and Cyprus and back to West London, taking in many pubs on their journey and with a slice of vegan cake (recipe included).

This is a hugely enjoyable book. It cleverly gathers up the plethora of plotlines let loose in the previous two novels and draws them nicely and neatly together in a satisfying conclusion. The central characters continue to banter their way through the various mysteries; there is Floyd’s trademark fondness for regaling us with the details of their quirky, lighthearted West London lifestyle - they remind me a little of 21st century west London reimagining of Nick & Nora Charles from the Thin Man films, only without the marriage & the annoying dog.
