The Battle of Sedgemoor (1685) has the distinction of being the last battle ever fought on English soil. James Scott, the Duke of Monmouth, had rebelled against his uncle, James II and was aiming to seize the throne. The terrain was boggy, foggy, and crisscrossed by streams and ditches. The battle, such as it was, was joined when a shot was unexpectedly fired, warning the royalist troops. What is called a battle ended in wholesale slaughter. Many of those who survived were transported as slaves to the West Indies.

The battle has long held the interest of British mystery writer Damien Boyd, who uses the battle and its possible modern repercussions in the tenth D.I. Nick Dixon story, “Down Among the Dead.” Boyd writes great mysteries, and this one has his trademarks of a gripping, engaging narrative and a thrilling climax.

Fifteen years previously, Daniel Parker was convicted of being the serial killer known as The Scytheman. Several people, mostly young men, had disappeared, but a mother and her teenaged daughter were the victims whose murders resulted in Parker’s apprehension and conviction. D.I. Dixon’s chief was the young arresting officer, but he was never convinced that Parker was the real killer. Yet the killings had stopped after Parker’s apprehension. All of the killings were in the lands adjacent to the old Sedgemoor battleground.

Parker is making an appeal for a retrial, his lawyer submitting new evidence that wasn’t available at the time. It’s unlikely, though, that the high court will allow a new trial. That is, until D.I. Dixon, put in charge of looking at all the evidence, discovers that Parker may indeed be innocent. And then a body of one of the missing teens is found by an archaeological crew. The problem is that the post-mortem shows the body had been buried at most nine months before. Parker couldn’t have done it, since he was in prison.

The Scytheman still walks. And soon there’s another murder.

Boyd uses his own experience as a legal solicitor and a member of the Crown Prosecution Service to frame his stories, and then infuses considerable research in just the right way. In the novels, Dixon had been a promising young barrister, until he chucked it all and joined the police. As it is, he’s one of the youngest detective inspectors in the Avon and Somerset police force; he’s also the most brilliant at solving cases which look unsolvable. Like this one.

Down Among the Dead audiobook in series DI Nick Dixon Crime

I read my first Damien Boyd novel, Dying Inside, last month and loved it. Deciding to work backwards, I chose Down Among the Dead and wasn’t disappointed. I am also a history fan, so I was extremely impressed with the way Mr. Boyd interwove English history within the current murder plot. The writing is crisp. The description is just enough to set the scene and add to the plot or character development. I felt I was apart of every scene. DI Dixon and all the characters are authentic and believable. Cant wait to start my next iBook in the series!

Audiobook Down Among the Dead by Damien Boyd

As well as a thriller, there was so much history in this book! I’m awed by the mixture of history and plots! And the twists, I never would have guessed the 2nd party! I just don’t know how Mr Boyd does it! But I am certainly glad that he does. I highly recommend this book, which is part of the series, but this one could really be a stand alone. I’m still shaking !y head!

Audio Down Among the Dead narrated by Napoleon Ryan

If you follow this author and detective Nixon then this work will not disappoint. I have read all of this series and this is probably the best.
A great but weird plot, well written, some interesting history and much human interest. The historical event is not well known, m at least to non English borne readers. With the map and much page turning back and forth it is possible to almost understand the battle and its consequences.
I look forward to the next adventure of Nixon and his dog.

There is nothing not to like! Exciting story line, mystery not easily solved, characters you truly care about and identify with, and of course Monty! The poignancy of loss was heartfelt and while being such a punch, fit so well into the ongoing storyline that it seemed right. While you can read this Dixon without reading the others, I highly recommend them all.

I’ve followed Boyd’s 9 prior novels and enjoyed each of them. This one however fell flat. Maybe Boyd was too personally involved with the intricacies of the historic battle he uses as a backdrop to this novel. Perhaps it was very obvious to HIM what he was trying to convey but I found it confusing to try to figure out the sides, the players and the significance of the events of the battle. I would suggest the author add a paragraph at the beginning explaining the battle and the significance… as an American it was hard to figure out. It ended up being a distraction to the book and it left an ending which should have been an interesting wrap up… rather flat. I was glad to finish just to close it up.
