Haggard Hawk is the first in this modern murder mystery in the classic English style. Hawk is a witty and volcanic English ex-copper with four grown up children scattered across the world. He was ‘required to retire’, as the British so delicately put it. In truth he was sacked. And just as he’s about to go mad with boredom one of his neighbours does him the courtesy of being murdered. The local …
The local police warn Hawk against interfering in their inquiry, but he can’t help himself and pretty soon he’s back where he belongs – catching a killer.

Had to use the Kindle dictionary often – I had a problem translating it into American English! Now I have some new words to use on my friends!
If you enjoy good British homour… this is the one read…of course for the story too… no drama at the end… simple straight forward ending…
Nathan Hawk is an interesting character…a well-done who dun it!
Good story. Genuine characters. This book is written in British English, so get the dictionary ready. Good read.
Good plot, kept me guessing, and liked the characters.
I highly recommend this book. Great story that is well-written.
Loved it. Nathan hawk is a true curmudgeon with a heart of gold. Will keep reading them as long as they’re being written.
Couldn’t get interested, stopped reading
Found this book and this writer to be interesting, and realistic .
I liked this series. It was well written and I liked the main character.
An okay read.
I did not figure out who the villain was until I was led to it. Excellent.
For lovers of British “who dunnits”.
I haven’t finished reading this book, and i doubt i’ll go back to it. The mystery just doesn’t feel interesting or important. The characters are okay but not endearing.
Douglas Watkinson can tell a story. Usually I’m not interested in a series, but this one I couldn’t pass up. I’m on the 4th book of the 5 book series and totally enjoying his storytelling.
Struggled through a few chapters and deleted it. Turgid… Hero boring.
Interesting main character. I’ll look forward to reading more in this series.
Well written. Engaging story.
Good story, believable characters. Moved right along, good plot-not spun, a very good read. I read it in one straight read-interest was so great. Good job, thank you. Hope there will be more.
Very entertaining read. Hard to put the book down. Kept my attention from start to finish.
