The last of 13 review stops on the blog tour for my second novel Coming Clean from The Book Elf and another really good one. 'A story of secrets and power that will have you marvelling at who knows what, who keeps their mouth shut and who doesn’t.'

Always gratifying if someone says of your book that it is different to the type of thing they usually read, but they really enjoyed it. Many thanks to Lisa at @5mins_forme for her very positive review of Coming Clean on the blog tour.

Nice reviews already for my latest novel, Coming Clean, but a small plug at this time of year for my debut, Melting in the Middle, which starts and ends in Advent, and was long-listed for the Exeter novel award. Available from all good bookshops.

An Amazon reviewer has just described my second novel, Coming Clean, as 'an excellent read - at times funny, poignant and with characters that we can all relate to.' And likens it to John Lanchester's Capital - a comparison I will most definitely take!

My second novel, Coming Clean, has just been published and received great feedback. It explores deception amongst the powerful and the powerless as a Bulgarian cleaner uncovers the secrets of a British MP. Contemporary suspense with a twist of political satire.

Have hesitated over migrating from Twitter but recent events have convinced me to do so. I know there's a way of instantly transferring over those I'm following but thought it might be nice to just migrate slowly and effectively start again. Interested in all things bookish and mind-broadening.
