Ely North liked Ethan Norfolk's review of Black Nab: Text M For Murder (DCI Finnegan Yorkshire Crime #1): "What a fantastic book! I was gripped in the final chapters and already excited to start the 2nd DCI Finnegan book. The plot was great, the characters are likeable and lots of humour built in through them."
