This has really made my day. I wrote this back in 2017 and knowing someone has taken the time to read and review so much later means the absolute world. Thank you Toby and Crime Central 🙏
📚 READER REVIEW 📚
Something a little different today - a review from Crime Central reader @TobyTurner1976 on a book picked up at one of our events.
You too could be enjoying great reads by coming along - you might even discover a "new to you" author!
