“Never come between a cold-hearted killer and his cats—you might lose an eye, your life, or both.
In a small town in Nova Scotia, chaos unfolds as a doctor is found dead, one eye chillingly missing. An Eye for an Eye is not just a murder mystery; it’s a wild, darkly comedic journey that will keep you on the edge of your seat. “

"Murder, mystery, mayhem and missing eyeballs—welcome to Yeovilton County, where a serial killer’s love for cats takes a hilariously dark turn. Denny Darke’s latest mystery is comedy noir at its best."

The quirky secondary characters steal the show, while the reluctant partnership between Daryl and Yvonne adds depth and heart. An Eye for an Eye is not just a murder mystery it’s a riotous rollercoaster ride that challenges every convention of the genre. A must-read for anyone who loves their thrillers with a side of dark comedy.”
