UK Publishing Date: 3 Dec 2015. 352 pages. It is hard to describe my journey through The Silver Witch. At about a quarter of the way through I was about to give up on it. It isn’t the easiest read. The pacing is very slow with little happening as the […]

UK Publishing Date: 5 Nov 2015. 352 Pages Smoke and Mirrors is a quintessentially British novel set in post World War 2 Britain. This is the second of the DI Stephens & Mephisto stories but can easily be read as a standalone novel (I did!) It is nearly Christmas and […]
