Superintendent Matt Darnley, like Rebus, breaks all the rules but delivers justice. Set at the very end of the last millennium Quentin Dowse's debut novel is authentic and gritty. The plot pulses with energy and momentum, the characters larger than life, in a thought-provoking and complex story. I do hope this is the first novel in a series. The quality of the writing is right up there with Rankin and Robinson.

Great book, by an author I will read more of! Thrilling plot, great writing and brilliant characters. Highly recommend to others.

There’s a lot going on in this book. I really liked the fine line across right and wrong and how the author presented the realities of this. The characters are really vividly drawn and I felt very invested in them all. It’s a strong plot line and there is a great deal to like in this book. Highly recommended.

Thank you Matador, NetGalley and Author for this ebook copy!

A Duty of Revenge was such a fabulous thriller.
I was immediately sucked into these pages I've always been fascinated with gang like stories and this one serves a side dish of revenge!
The characters were an absolute joy to read! Detective Superintendent Matt is great in this book and it serves him well! I felt like I was legit watching a movie or tv show I could see everything happening! Absolutely fascinating if you ask me.
The story held my attention and never eased up one bit!
Such a great story and I'm very thankful for the opportunity to read it!
