Reviews

A lovely fireside or holiday read that keeps you guessing and turning the pages to the end. The book also introduces and develops a number of characters and relationships that keep you intrigued as to 'what happens next'. Roll on Book 2. Cazphil, Amazon reade Cumbria, crime and the Cotswolds... A fantastic delve into the cutthroat world of publishing in the sleepy Cotswolds! Be warned however. I thought I'd read a few chapters before bed and before I knew it my alarm was due to sound in a few short hours and I'd read from cover to cover. James, Amazon reader Attractive characters and settings. A very enjoyable read. The story engages the reader with its pacy storytelling and creation of a warm world where surprises occur but don't disturb. Encapsulates what we love in cosy crime! Steffers, Amazon reader Who knew the Cotswolds were so full of treachery? A great read, kept me guessing until the end. Really looking forward to the next Sam Holliday book. Martin Evans, Amazon reader A lovely cosy Cotswolds crime story, with plenty of dastardly characters and plot twists to keep you engaged. I loved all the publishing themes and references, and intrigued to find out that a series is planned. Looking forward to the next story, Richard Osman will be trembling in his boots. Avid reader, Amazon reader I loved Dying to Read by Honor Brightwell - an atmospheric mystery set in the Cotswolds. The story follows a young woman starting a new job at a publishing house, where office politics and hidden motives spiral into something darker. The writing is vivid and elegant, with characters that feel real and a setting you can almost see and smell. A beautifully written blend of intrigue, suspense, and human insight. Highly recommend!
