Best bit:

QuoteI found the mystery aspect of this book and the hunt for Oliver Olivovich's killer twisty and interesting. I liked how the author takes the reader down a number of seemingly unconnected paths. I didn't know how all of the different leads were connected as I read and I think that the author did well to pull everything together at the end.

Someone liked it enough to sit down and write a fairly lengthy review, rather than just 'Wow!'

That, in itself, is an accolade.

Well done, Mark.

Gyppo

Not quite. That and other similar sites are paid for by the publisher/author. That said. they do not guarantee a positive review or indeed a listing.

The things you learn as an indie  :)

I did have an independent review of the type you describe on FB.

No Amazon reviews though :(

A review is a review.  Readers neither know nor care about the terms - they just want to know they can expect an honest opinion.  Well done.

Thanks, Jo.

Nice. Well done you.

Thanks, Dan.
