Trade ReviewJames Hazel
grabs you from the off and doesn't let go until the very end. This is his first novel. It's definitely not his last * Martyn Waites on The Mayfly *
A
compelling mystery that
has you tearing through the pages.
Charlie Priest is a genius creation. He's
brilliant and border-line dysfunctional but you can't help liking him.
Highly recommended * J. S. Carol on The Mayfly *
Occasionally horrifically
shiver inducing, never less than
irresistible,
The Mayfly is really
top notch.
Intelligently constructed,
characters to die for and a truly sterling opening to what I hope will be a long running series. Charlie Priest.
Remember the name * Liz Loves Books on The Mayfly *
Addictive. There is something
wonderfully macabre about Hazel's debut thriller. It may well be the motley crew that surrounds Priest, (who isn't exactly without his own difficulties), who entranced me . . . With this
marvellous cast, Hazel's thriller certainly keeps rolling along at a
cracking pace . . . I can honestly say that
I haven't completed a book in such double quick time as I did
The Mayfly. Having been reviewing for over twelve years now, I can sense a good thriller. You will be
guaranteed to be on to a winner with
The Mayfly * CrimeSquad on The Mayfly *
Most dramatic yet ... Written with verve. * Daily Mail *
Characters are
delightful...the progress of the plot is tackled
intelligently and
cinematically...I
thoroughly enjoyed the pace, the dialogue, the characters and the concepts....
An easy fast read which I found myself
devouring with enthusiasm. * CrimeReview.co.uk *
