False Lights Bewertungen

'The quality of the story in itself is sufficient to carry this novel, but excellent writing and characterization pushes it up several notches - with special mention for Hester: a fizzing-with-life, believable and resourceful heroine if ever there was one' Daily Mail.
'Thrilling ... Rugged scenery combined with even more rugged leading men and feisty leading ladies makes this a book that one can easily compare to Poldark ... The intensity of the plot is only amplified by quite how much she makes you care about the characters it revolves around' The Bookbag.
'Witty, exciting and heartfelt, the book had me hooked' Roaring Bookworm.
