I just love a book
that grabs my attention and reels me in at the first chapter. And Asphyxia
certainly had me hooked from the start. I connected easily with the characters.
I loved Sgt Creed. I thoroughly enjoyed the suspense and the education!! I felt
that my curiosity and fascination with the strange and perverse side of
humanity had been given permission to unleash itself, if only for a short
while. (It's back in it's box again) The wit and humour weaved into the
storyline didn’t spoil the intensity of the plot. Even the laugh out loud
moments kept me on edge. My favourite chapter? Thirty seven!

This is the 2nd book
I've read by Derick Hudson (previously read Infallible) and I'm hooked!! The
writing style is exceptional and keeps you interested from start to finish. I
love stories that are extremely unusual, funny, believable to an extent, and full
of great character development. I have to say that Asphyxia HAD IT ALL!! I
absolutely love Jim Bannon!! I just purchased Dysfunctional Romance for my
Kindle which I'll start tonight after work. I definitely recommend Asphyxia for
those who are looking for an absolute page turner!!

This is the second
book I have read by Derick Hudson so far. It is my favorite so far of his
works. But I still have a few more to read.
This book had an awesome story line with great characters. It was tense,edgy
and dark. I LOVE Derick Hudson's dark humor.
I SO hope he writes more books like this one. Thank-you SO much for a awesome
read!!! Cheers to you Derick!

Derick Hudson's
Asphyxia kept me entranced from page one. I finished the entire book in less
than two days. One of my favorite characters, Detective Jim Bannon, an
asthmatic, is in love with his boss's daughter. The gruff character of the boss
is not excited about that at all. Detective Bannon spends most of his time
trying to track down London's
serial killer who is deep into asphyxiaphillia, a dangerous game that ends in
murder. It appears he is getting his victims through a dating service.
This thriller has twists and turns along the way, a bit of dark humor, along
with some tragedy in the Detective's personal life. There is some erotica
mingled in the storyline at one point.
I can't say enough for the authors development of the characters. They are quite
entertaining to the reader even though people are dying. There are things going
on behind the scenes only the readers know for a while which is always
intriguing. I will certainly continue reading Hudson's work and I highly recommend this
book.

The plot in this book
raced along at 100 miles an hour. This is the first book I read from this
author & I was left panting for more. Jim Bannon the Irish Detective has a
mullet which tells the reader that this is no ordinary crime novel. Gory,
hilarious & heartwarming. The fans of this are demanding more in this
series please.

I was on the edge
from the very beginning. Putting down the book was virtually impossible. The
key character, is Jack Bannon. An Irish man who is a London Detective. He is
not your typical detective, something we learn from the very beginning. He
comes across cocky and balls to the wall, yet he is very human. All I can hope
is that this will not be the last we will hear from Jack Bannon. Thank you
Derrick Hudson for a fabulous read that kept me in rapt attention from
beginning to end... I just had to remember to breathe...

Kept me guessing the whole way through and I was wrong in my prediction. Boy,
did I learn a thing or two though - 50 Shades of Education.....haha. Think I
would rather breathe during and after!! Fab, fab book and I have never read

Saved this book for
my holidays and oy was I glad I did!
I read it in one sitting in the beautiful Montenegran sunshine.
Being a huge fan of Derick Hudson's other two books I just knew this one was
going to be good- I didn't realise quite how good though.
Whilst still retaining a similar writing style to his earlier books Hudson still managed to
to have you hanging onto the end of every sentence.
Fetishes might not appeal to every reader but I urge you to look beyond that
and read what is a fantastically written crime novel with a sense of humour
thrown in. Hudson
has the power to make you laugh and cringe in disgust all in one page. I think
Jim Bannon could be the character in lots more of Hudson's books to come.
Intense, dark, decadent, terrifying, witty, gripping, shocking and so the list
goes on.
You will not regret purchasing any of Derick Hudson's books. Can't wait for his
next one, Infallible...
A well deserved 5 stars, keep them coming.

Having read Derrick
Hudson's 2 previous books (Dysfunctional Romance and Unholy Romance - which by
the way are brilliant too) I was intrigued to read this thriller. Whilst
writing this book Derrick Hudson entered a different realm of writing but yet
managed to keep some of his great humour to lighten the book a little. On whole
a very gripping thriller which is well written and keeps you on the edge until
the end - I can see this being the first in hopefully a long series of Jim
Bannon novels. I have no hesitation in recommending all Derrick Hudson's
novels. Brilliant!

This review is from: ASPHYXIA

I have thoroughly
enjoyed reading Asphyxia. It made me laugh and in places made me shiver in
disgust. Derick Hudson has done a good job of delving into the dark and
dangerous world of sexual fetishes. Some of the crime scenes are described in
great detail but I was kept guessing till the end as to who the culprit was.
I say its a small world because I was sat in Villa Martin square when reading
the book. Those of you who have read it will know the significance. Those of
you that haven't you will have to read it (winks)
Over all it is a funny thrilling and somewhat disturbing read and I can
recommend reading it.
5.0 out of 5 stars A
fantastic read, 7 Aug 2013
By
This is the first
book I have read by Derick Hudson, and once started, I couldn't put the book
down. It is a gripping and fast-paced tale of perverted murders with plenty of
gore and populated with some very interesting characters. Not least is
Detective Jim Bannon, who is at the heart of this tale, and as we follow him in
his hunt for the deviant serial killer, we begin to learn a little more about
Jim's maverick character, in particular, the love of his life, which causes him
a few problems at work. I hope Mr Hudson will allow Detective Bannon to become
a regular in future tales, like the John Rebus series. I am really looking
forward to his next book, in the meantime I am going to purchase the previous
books by Mr Hudson.

After reading reviews
and dericks persistant promotion of his book on twitter, i was intrigued,
downdloaded onto my kindle . From the first chapter i was hooked, every chapter
i read i wanted know more, i loved the sarcasim and one liners from most of the
characters, i wanted the book to go on and on, i read it in one hit, staying up
till 4 a.m, well done derick. L.T. P.S. Will be reading all his books and would
love a follow up of asphyxia to keep the story going of the detective and soon
to be father in law lol.....

My
first read by Mr Hudson and not a bad tale at all.
Centering around a serial killer who picks up his victims via the internet and
kills them during strange sexual practices.
The man on the case is Jim Bannon in a fast paced thriller with good
characterization.
The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars was the ending seemed a little
rushed & a tad convenient.

Found this author via
Twitter, it seemed like the type of book I like to read, so I thought I'd give
it a try. I was not disappointed, it sexy, scary, swift.
I liked all the characters, even Sam, who I didn't like at first.
Its a shame its a stand alone book , I would like to see more Bannon.
As someone said on twitter "it took by breath away"
I loved it.

Enjoyed this read
very much, sex and crime together are a winner if it's well written as this is,
had me gripped until the end, good characters, loved Robyn and the way her
online life was described, anyone who has ever used a dating site will be
laughing hard and nodding in agreement at this part of the book, absolutely
bang on. A fast, funny sexy and shocking read, I'd happily recommend this book.
Torn between 4 and 5 star rating this, but it's getting 4 because I would have
liked it to be longer, only took a couple of hours to read, and I would have
loved more background, especially on the killer and how and why he became what
he was.

This review is from: ASPHYXIA
(Kindle Edition)
This may seem such a
departure for the author when you look at the front cover, but its written in
the same witty way that I've come to expect from dysfunctional romance and the
unholy romance author.
Lots of authors are formulaic and you know what's going to happen before it
does (Dan Brown), but this author has a way of story telling and making each
book fresh and even though the subject matter on sexual fetishes may not
immediately appeal to some readers, I implore you to read if you want a good
giggle! Hudson
appears to be able to take sensitive subject matters and make them funny.
I loved the relationship of amateur sleuths Sam Greer and Damien Hand, they had
me laughing out loud and the way that Hudson can write in a female voice is
exceptional and I really want a "Hands off the merchandise" banner.
Well done Mr Hudson, can't wait for Infallible and I have a slight smugness in
that I can say, I've followed this author since the beginning and not just
jumped on the band wagon.
If you love Irish wit and a good story, get your library stocked with asphyxia
(and the back catalogue too)

I have read both of
Derick's previous novels and enjoyed them immensely. But this book was so
different from the others but, absolutely the most enthralling thriller that I
have read to date. What made it so great was it's characters and the way that
Derick had them all inter-acting!! If you love a good read and a page-turning
thriller - this is it... Derick --- Can't wait to see what you have in store
for us next!!! I will be waiting patiently - well, not that patiently!! Thank
you for another of your gems!!
