Not as good as the last ones, those I couldn't put down, this one took me months to read I think, for me, seeing Pierce Brosnan as Ron in the film has spoilt it. I just can't get past seeing him as Ron, he's just not rough enough and as Ron's arc was such a large part of this book it made it somewhat tricky to get into Ron's shoes or empathise with him. I liked it, don't get me wrong, I just couldn't get into it as I did the other books

Richard is the first author that has had me gripped since Catherine Cookson. He definitely knows how to write a good story. Thank-you for making them available.
