Critics Review
Wonderful - a story I never heard before, told with style, pace, character, texture, and tension … bliss.
Wonderful - a story I never heard before, told with style, pace, character, texture, and tension … bliss. * Lee Child *If you like your historical thrillers dark and emotional, you’ll absolutely love getting swept up in this one – Sarah Hughes * Heat *Well researched and full of action, Mayo brings a forgotten moment in history to life **** * Sun *Bristling with energy, written with passion, Mad Blood Stirring is a joy to read. * John Boyne *Mad Blood Stirring is an astonishing account of an explosive piece of neglected history. It’s a rapid page turner with dark humour, intellectual heft, and a gallery of deeply human characters that shake our spirits. * Sir Kenneth Branagh *Fascinating … it has genuine energy and drive * Sunday Times *A spirited read inspired by true events * Woman & Home *
