Private detective Joe Grabarz is finally a success.

A new office, his own staff, and expensive clients. Then one night he receives a message from a rival detective asking to meet at an abandoned farm house in the Sussex hills. When Joe arrives he finds the detective dead, and the evidence makes him the number one suspect.

To avoid jail, Joe will have to become a fugitive, track down a mysterious criminal known only as Mr X, tangle with a feisty female detective, and face his ultimate nemesis.

This could be Joe’s last case.

He published his first novel, You Can't Make Old Friends, in 2016, since then he has written many more books, including the Cain series of thrillers, starting with the The Florentine in 2022.

His inspirations as a writer come from a diverse range of storytellers including Raymond Chandler, Agatha Christie, Joel & Ethan Coen, Daphne du Maurier, Alfred Hitchcock, Ira Levin, Quentin Tarantino, and many more books and films beside.

Three cheers for Amazon book deals: they led me to Tom Trott’s writing. ‘It Never Goes Away’ is the fourth of his books I’ve read consecutively; his writing is that good.

There are occasional typos, but being so involved in the story makes it less frustrating, the plot is all that matters and this is enough.

In many ways Trott’s detective could be Raymond Chandler’s, but the importance of Brighton in his writing is never far away. This is not another Chandler ‘wanna-be’, but a writer who knows his craft well.

As soon as this review is complete, I’ll start the next Tom Trott novel - and be glad to lose myself in the plot again.

I cannot say what you’ll enjoy, but Tom Trott is a grateful find for me. Complex plots, well written. It’s not a police procedural, so give some leeway to such details, just enjoy the journey, I do.

Tom Trott's #1 Private Detective, Joe, is a superb creation. Shuttled from foster home to foster home as a child, he struggles to define himself. The three novels that make up this trilogy show how he forges a conscience and an identity for himself, and they are brilliant. If you are looking only for a well-plotted mystery novel that gives you some sense of modern Brighton, you can read any of the three books and I'm sure you will enjoy them. But to get what the author has chosen to give us, and it is a gift well worth having, you need to read the three in order and, preferably, fairly close together.

I really appreciated how the author did not waste time catching up the reader on the previous book's plot, he just jumped right into this next story - but make sure you read them in order!
I fell right into the story and felt like I lived in Brighton as soon as I began reading.
The author did an excellent job writing these books - no messing around with unnecessary language or wording and nothing to take away from the plot.
The story was intriguing and lively - very enjoyable!
I really wish Tom Trott would write another of these books!!
Wholeheartedly recommend!!

I can only imagine that Tom Trott IS Joe Grabraz, wherein lies his secret for credible writing.
Hope your foot is better now, Mr. Trott.
I can recommend this series without hesitation.

I had a bit of trouble following the story for a while, but then got into it. I know nothing about Brighton and the surrounding area and and all the town and street names did not really mean anything to me. I will read more from this author.
