Reviews:

“Witherstone is a really outstanding read – good old-fashioned storytelling, in the very best sense; engaging and gripping as only the most skilfull writing can be.” Gordon Askew, DfE Education Advisor.

“It’s genuinely ‘unputdownable’, and was still circling through my mind long after I’d finished.” Scraggle Hag, Amazon reviewer.

“The plot is gripping and the narrative carries the story with pace, creating a feeling of deep unease as Eppie uncovers the truth…..I can’t wait for the next instalment.” Chris Caretaker, Amazon reviewer.
