Reviewed by Justin @ Mobius

” …A progressive murder mystery, indeed.” – Jill Murphy, The Bookbag (thebookbag.co.uk)

“Race, class, religion, and murder are inextricably intertwined in this simmering mystery consuming the misty Maritime town of Feckless Bay. “The Worst Dogs” is a powerful, propulsive read….” – Stephen M. Tomic, The Junction (medium.com)

Davidson’s historical novel about civil rights leader Frederick Douglass’ first trip to Ireland, “Precept” was voted one of the top ten self-published books of 2018 by The Bookbag (thebookbag.co.uk)

Mystery

In the quaint town of Feckless Bay, there has been a string of grisly murders. Two fateful detectives are tested when the murders turn out to be cruel hate crimes. A gritty detective novel with a progressive twist, de Lacey Davidson threads a series of question marks into a racially charged mystery that holds the reader at ransom, page by page. Bringing a nuanced writing style to a famously well-worn genre, fans of the detective novel rejoice. A strong first entry into the world of fiction novels from a seasoned writer. The Worst Dogs is already leaving fans asking for more.

I am a very cautious person and I do my research. FEDP is first rate in terms of service, professional conduct and most of all – trustworthiness. FEDP published my first book and this will be the second, without the upselling and claims that they can get you noticed by Hollywood and all of the other crap. FEDP is beginning to spread its wings farther ands I want to be a part of it.

My experience with First Design Publishing was one of feeling like I was working with friends as opposed to just purchasing a service. I picked First Design because of their #1 rating over the past four years. I would highly recommend them to any author!

The service was extremely rapid and pleasant. I appreciated the extra help I was given in finding an image for the cover.
