Reviews: North of Watford"Once again Greta Pusey finds herself deep in trouble. Trying to keep her private life separate from her work. Difficult when she is in love with her boss. But she has a rival for the delectable Derek, a young blonde DC called North. Whilst trying to match North she also has to deal with a lorry full of illegal Chinese immigrants, a mysterious disappearing factory and a pile of dead bodies! As usual Lynn Phillips captures the very essence of police life, both the highs and lows. A definite page turner which keeps the reader guessing to the very end. Ten out of ten." - Jules Lancaster, Milton Keynes Writers Group "Having enjoyed the first two books in The Watford Series by Lynn Phillips, I confess I was wondering if she could keep up the standard in the third of the series. I'm glad to say, having read it all through the night without stopping for sleep, that North of Watford is even better than Watford under Wood and Moon over Watford. It's amazing to me how Lynn can evolve such complicated plots and yet keep the writing simple enough for any reader to follow without effort. And looking at the themes of Book Three (illegal Chinese immigrants, contaminated pet-food, rivals in love) I wonder how she manages to write on such contemporary subjects, too. Well done, Lynn! Now I'm looking forward to the next in the series." - William Hines, Chairman, North Watford Book Club "Am I the only Australian fan of the Greta Pusey novels by Lynn Phillips? I can't believe it! Altho' her titles always contain the word 'Watford', her style is so international that I wasn't surprised to see appreciation of her previous books from readers in the USA. This latest one, 'North of Watford' has particular resonance for us back in Oz because of the problem of illegal Chinese immigrants, that I didn't know existed in the UK as well as my homeland. And of course another problem Lynn writes about, of sexual rivalry, real or imagined is universal. I loved the first two books in the series, but I've got to confess that this latest one was the first that ended with a laugh out loud! Well done, that Pom! Do more." - Ed Somerset, from Melbourne, currently living in Earl's Court, London "Is it purely coincidence that a collection of apparently unrelated crimes all involve Chinese people? DS Greta Pusey insists that she doesn't believe in coincidence so we know that somehow she will find a link connecting the crimes. - Rose Ann Zigman, San Diego, California, USA |
