I’m Danica and I write under the names D. S. Butler, Dani Oakley and Danica Britton. If you’ve stumbled across this author page after having read one of my books, thank you very much for your support.

I write mysteries in many different flavours — some grittier than others. So far, I've written two standalone psychological thrillers: Lost Child and Her Missing Daughter. I also write a detective series set in London, which features one of my favourite characters, Jack Mackinnon.

The books I write as Dani Oakley are set in the East End of London. They are full of gangsters and strong female characters.

Boring.

Reviewed in Australia on 14 November 2019

Verified Purchase

So I read book 1 of the series and gave it three stars thinking the author would get more polished as the series progressed. For some reason I skipped books 2 and 3 (I maybe thought they sounded a bit dull) and settled for book 4 thinking it ought to be pretty damn good. But no.

There is a series of apparent suicides by hydrogen sulphide poisoning (the obvious choice naturally) where two more harmless chemicals are mixed to form a deadly brew. I think the author was saying it was, or was like, the mustard gas used in WWI bur more background would have been useful. Nobody thinks to link these suicides or consider them suspicious despite identical, printed, unsigned suicide notes. Also CCTV is not utilised until much later in the book. Oh, and you'd think the first death would prompt at least an external examination by a pathologist who would have seen other evidence. But no.

The dialogue was wooden and contrived. By the halfway point I was bored nearly to death and ready to DNF but I persevered with skim reading to the inevitable, predictable ending which I reached with a great sense of relief. The whole think was over in a matter of hours thankfully, although I will never get those hours back. Yes I am very cranky and may have given this 1.5 or even 2 stars if it was not the last in a bad bunch of books. Thankfully I am now reading something much more interesting and engaging.

a good story

Reviewed in Australia on 19 May 2019

A series of deaths, presumed suicides, lead DS Mackinnon, Charlotte and DS collins to further investigate . They prove these deaths are murders supposedly bringing justice to the community. DS Mackinnon finds himself in trouble with his unorthodox methods and is confined to desk duties. This does not exactly happen and he ends up in trouble again.

Solid Police Procedural novel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2022

I really enjoy the Karen Hart series by this author so decided to try her other series hoping for more of the same. I found this to be an enjoyable read but the magics not quite there for me just yet. Good characters that I am sure will grow on me and solid police procedural plot.

A late summer heatwave seems to have triggered an unusually high number of suicides.
As the dead bodies pile up, DS Jack Mackinnon and the rest of MIT realise things aren’t as straightforward as they seem, and when similar letters are found at the scene of each ‘suicide,’ Mackinnon is convinced they are dealing with a serial killer. A killer who is determined to deliver his own deadly justice.

This was a good read and the signs were there for me towards the end that I am finally feeling connected to this series.

Crusty

A passable read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 August 2017

Even after getting to book 4 I'm still not convinced by the characters in this series. Every now and again I'll come across an action or piece of dialogue that just isn't 'right' and it stops me in my tracks. The seed of doubt having been sown niggles at me and rather than focus on the story, I'm looking out for the next inconsistency. Most irritating!
Having said that, the books are easy to read and are great holiday stories. I have already bought book 5 so despite my over-analytical whingeing, the author must be doing something right :-)

Part four of series

Expected a bit more from this book but not a real difference or improvement on previous.Characters not really developed and story line became a little muddled and too obvious with some unanswered questions and far fetched bits. But will stick with it !

... in the DS McKinnon series and i can thoroughly recommend all of the series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 February 2015

This is the fourth book in the DS McKinnon series and i can thoroughly recommend all of the series. The statement in the books that this series is perfect for fans of the Peter James is spot on. I am a massive fan of Peter James and his Roy Grace series of books and this series is on the same superb high standard level.

Anybody who enjoys police investigation thrillers will enjoy Deadly Justice and DS Butler`s preceding three books, particularly if like me they prefer novels to have British, (in this series London and Oxford) locations and dialogue. I only fairly recently discovered this author and have read all four of these novels consecutively this year. An excellent author who i hope will be line for a Crime fiction award in the near future and deserves to be placed very highly in her genre of writing.
