John Dean – Crime Writer

Reviewer Lars Walker, of Brandywine Books, who some of you may be aware hasrecently been working his way through the DCI Jack Harris crime novels), has turned his attention to Thou Shalt Kill (The Book Folks, a Joffe Books imprint)

What particularly interests Lars about the novel is the way that it deals with the issue of religion, something which, as he observes, can present reader and writer alike with challenges. If you want to read his review – I am delighted that, so far, he likes the books -you can do so at

And finally, if you are one of those unfortunate souls who have to endure a petty-minded management allotment committee, as I did before moving to Scotland eight years ago, the book contains a cautionary tale (and, yes, there is a link with religion in among the cabbages and kale!) Just key in my name and the book title on Amazon.
