Critics Review
Taut, subtle, ambitious and engrossing . A gripping story of conflicting loyalties spanning a turbulent and changing world
Beguiling, unsettling, and wonderfully atmospheric. A dark expedition across a nightmarish landscape of physical and emotional damage and moral decay - Sarah Waters, praise for The Spring of Kasper Meier
A decidedly accomplished first novel … where the keenness of observation and the rhythms of the prose call Graham Greene to mind - Allan Massie, The Scotsman, praise for The Spring of Kasper MeierBen Fergusson’s grittily evocative novel, historically knowledgeable and piercing in its scrutiny of morally ambiguous characters, political murkiness and a world quivering with suspicion and jeopardy, impressively recalls Graham Greene’s The Third Man - Peter Kemp, praise for The Spring of Kasper MeierAbout The Author
