Langton & Wood The Amber Maze
Book SynopsisWhile staying in a Dorset cottage, Hugh Mullion finds a mysterious key down the side of an antique chair. No one can say how long the key has been there or what it opens. Hugh's search for answers will unlock the secrets of the troubled life of a talented artist, destined to be hailed a neglected genius fifty years too late.Trade Review“Cleverly plotted and paced. it's a mystery that unlocks the secrets of the past by illuminating and revealing real people with real trials and tribulations. A gentle and elegant dissection, delicately done. A nicely drawn and engaging noirish novel. I thoroughly enjoyed it.” (The Bookbag); “A quietly compelling read which is as much about the journey of discovery as the actual mystery contained within. Following on ten years after The Blue Book Hugh Mullion discovers a key down the side of a chair cushion and begins to search for answers. A maze sits centre stage, oppressive, dominating, yet reflected beautifully in the art surrounding it. The Amber Maze sits as a standalone short novel and you certainly don’t have to have read Hugh’s previous adventure to start here. Christopher Bowden encourages a simple, almost diary like feel to bring to life the past, as Hugh unravels the mystery in the present. The Amber Maze is a considered, intriguing mystery which unfolds at a gentle pace.” Lovereading)
