Really enjoyed reading these 3 books they just get better and better.fantastic plots marvellous characters first-class. Keeping you turning the pages until the very last page
Andy Horton is a complex character with issues at both home and at work. Nevertheless, this detective knows to keep forging ahead to follow his gut. All three stories are very good reads and I am looking forward to no. 7 Julian Tremayne, East Yorkshire
