REVIEW BY NICK OLDHAM, CRIME WRITER (DETECTIVE HENRY CHRISTIE NOVELS)

Established crime writer Nick Oldham comments:

‘Welcome to the world of DCI Matt Proctor in Tom Bryson’s first thriller, TOO SMART TO DIE. An under pressure Proctor has to deal not only with murder, but also police corruption – a discovery that leads to his ignominious suspension from the police. However, this opens new avenues for Proctor as he stumbles upon a deadly cyberworld cult that threatens Proctor and his family.Set in the real world – a superbly described West Midlands, the Black Country – very appropriate – Bryson has created a flawed and very real character in Matt Proctor whose life is a mess professionally and personally. This is a great debut from Bryson, who is one to watch out for as is, I hope, Matt Proctor, a character who I think has the legs to front a whole series of novels.’
