About the book
A woman is found dead in a London street – the evidence suggests she plummeted to her death from a nearby tower block – but did she fall or was she pushed? And why does she have Danny Bird’s name written on the back of her hand?
So begins this 4th magnificent outing for Danny and the gang from The Marq.
In the frame for a murder he didn’t commit, London’s self-proclaimed Sherlock Homo has no choice but to don his metaphorical deerstalker one more time to prove his innocence and uncover the truth about the tragic death of Cathy Byrne.
With the indomitably louche Lady Caz by his side, Danny plunges headlong into a complex investigation while at the same time trying to be a dutiful son to his increasingly secretive parents, and still find the time to juggle his frustratingly moribund love-life.

Death of an Angel is the latest fun entry in Derek Farrell’s Danny Bird Mysteries series of witty whodunits. If you like UK-based mysteries, with colourful characters and a sassy amateur sleuth, then this is the series for you!
This instalment finds Danny with three mysteries to solve: one that falls right out of the sky, as it were, one a favour for a friend and one a little more close to home.
Death of an Angel finds a lot of the usual suspects all present and correct, with Danny’s narration suitably droll, Caz joyfully haughty and DI Frank Reid as unpleasant as ever.
What follows is a jaunt through some of South London’s less salubrious areas, with a ragtag band of supporting – and sometimes terrifying – characters and a cornucopia of arch jibes, on the way to Danny saving the day in his own inimitable style.
But will Danny solve the mysteries? Will he finally get a grip on his love life? Will The Marq’s sausage rolls give anyone food poisoning? And will DI Reid’s sunburn turn septic? Grab yourself a copy now and find out!
I’ve already enjoyed Derek Farrell‘s first Danny Bird Mystery, Death of a Diva, and look forward to reading more of the series soon.
Thank you to Fahrenheit Press for my copy of Death of an Angel and to Emma Welton of damppebbles blog tours!
