Baxter’s Requiem is a feelgood tale for the modern age … There is a touching tenderness between the two men as their friendship develops and despite the up-to-date touches, there is something refreshingly old-fashioned about this book … Crow’s prose is natural and the story moves along swiftly … It is an easy read with an edifying tale of men dealing with their difficulties at different points in their lives. - Irish Examiner
