Critics Review

Untameably original, so stylish and packed with a biting humour * Rob Parker, author of A Wanted Man *A worthy sequel to The Dying Squad, and elevates Simcox to a new level * The Sun *This is a hard-edged fantasy thriller … let your imagination run wild and it’s a riot * Peterborough Telegraph *An utterly compelling, fresh take on the crime thriller with loads of tension and atmosphere, this series is a must read * The Bibliophile Chronicles *A great crime noir … dark and twisted * SFBook *The Generation Killer cements this supernatural crime series as one to watch * Love Reading *The Generation Killer is an original, gripping and gut-wrenching approach to the urban fantasy genre * Brian Clegg Blogspot *It’s grand opera coated in Manchester grime and British cop wit, and it’s unrelenting fun from start to finish with an emotional punch you won’t see coming * E.L. Cocker *THE DYING SQUAD is one of those books that fizzes with life. Every page has a new idea, or a funny line, and Daisy May is just a brilliant character to spend time with. Also, the ending arrives in a steel-tipped boot. Well played Adam * Stuart Turton, Sunday Times bestelling author and winner of the Costa First Novel Award for The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle *Excellent. Funny, creepy and “oh no he did not just throw that twist in there” compelling’ * Anna Stephens, author of The Godblind trilogy *Whip-smart, fresh with a dash of dark humour, The Dying Squad is a wildly entertaining read. Highly recommended * Adam Hamdy *Grim, wry and inventive, a twisting tale with both guts and heart. Never has Lincolnshire seemed more desolate, or more menacing * David Wragg, The Black Hawks *A thrilling ride with dark humour, action and a touching side that’s hard to forget * The Sun *
