12.10.10 - NEWS Reviews roundup: Euro Crime says that THE LAZARUS VAULT is 'simply magical...an excellent story with a fantastic ending.' The Peterborough Evening Telegraph thinks that, 'the medieval parts of the tale fly off the page, with drama, insight and danger,' even if the book as a whole, 'doesn’t quite match the brilliance of his earlier Book Of Secrets.' (I'll take that as a backhanded compliment). And K. Van Oosten on Amazon says, 'I'll put it with my Dan Brown.' But not in a good way, unfortunately.

28.9.10 - NEWS Another review for THE LAZARUS VAULT, from my local paper the York Press. 'Lean, muscular and menacing language... guaranteed to keep you turning the pages.'
