Peter Land - 'Scary and tense, exciting, humorous, romantic and never letting the reader know what to believe and what to question, this is a great read.' Click here to read the full review.

Fiona Maclean - 'I’d recommend this book for holiday reading plus.  It’s not hard to pick up – and the storyline is light enough to follow easily.  But, it’s got enough intrigue and plot to be worthy of a more careful second reading – which is exactly what I will be doing.'

Catherine Larner - 'This is a true page-turner of a summer read. The reader delights, with Ben, in the novelty of the extravagant lifestyle but all too soon realizes that nothing in life is free.' Click here to read the full review.

Les Warriner - 'An enthralling tale, which hinges as much on the past as it does on the present...The web of intrigue is brilliantly spun with both Ben and the reader driven between highs and lows - is it all too good to be true?  Like me, you will have to wait to the end to discover whether there is a fairy tale ending, but it is well worth the wait.'

Gill Wilmott - 'This is a agreeably interwoven story of past and present, and how one can come back to haunt the other...The whole book could be described as an example of the saying quoted by a minor character about two third through the book, “If something seems too good to be true, it usually is”.
