I do love to hear from readers and here is a sample of some that have found their way to me - by means various!

"It’s always a major achievement to write a novel but to write a good one is very special. Took ‘Annabel’ on a long train journey and finished in one go! Loved the comfort of the genre, the period and the cast of characters while the wit and surprise in the writing kept me on my narrative toes. Annabel is a compelling protagonist and I hope to spend more time with her in the future."

"A note of appreciation from this reader of crime stories. I read little contemporary crime (too cosy / chick lit, or too graphically gruesome / psycho babble) so I was very pleased to find The Stanhope Inheritance which I read in an evening - till after one o’clock in the morning."

"We met last year in (Portugal) We thoroughly enjoyed The Stanhope Inheritance, the story, setting and development of the various characters."

"Thank you for introducing me to Annabel! I devoured The Stanhope Inheritance in three sittings - only stopping because I needed to eat. Beautifully written with a sizzling conclusion."
