I have read all of his books, just finished the latest, Nothing ventured. I did not enjoy the latest as much his earlier novels but it was still worth reading.

Really enjoyed Kane & Abel read it years ago, also read all the books in the Clifton Chronicles. I really enjoy the books I have read of his . I’d definitely give them a go

Thanks for the feedback. I will check out your suggestions Charleygirl5 ?

I used to enjoy reading his books but be careful- sometimes one had to read the previous book to have half an idea of what was going on.

I love thrillers so my favourites are Michael Connolly, Quentin Jardine and Faye Kellerman to name a few.

I find his books really good!

I, too, enjoyed Kane and Abel and Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less. Don’t really know why I haven’t read any more.

Same here, Calendargirl, I read (and enjoyed) some of his books back in the 70s.. Kane and Abel, Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less, Shall We Tell the President? The fact that I didn’t carry on reading his books probably shows that I wasn’t that impressed, but if I were you I’d risk the 99p.

I read Kane and Abel donkeys years ago, and thought it was good.

This was about 40 years ago though, my taste may have changed!

Since I bought a kindle my reading level has really increased. I am regularly sent offers for books at 99p and today I have been offered a new JA book.

I need some feedback from you bookworms please on what is writing is like. I read lots of thrillers normally.
