5.0 out of 5 stars. An Outstandingly Good Read

By R. Gamblin, (Bedford, UK) 4th August 2009. It is hard to believe this is a first novel. Nick Smyth has created an outright winner here. His very strong powers of description and his talent for spinning a gripping story are present on every page. My wife and I found the book very hard to put down and we agree that it would make a superb film. To me it ranks amongst the best I have ever read. I enjoyed it immensely and recommend it very highly.
