The Dead Will Rise – First Review

I hadn’t intended to post anything this week, but…

The first review for The Dead Will Rise is set to appear. The book isn’t out until March, but the US trade magazines get an early start, and Publishers Weekly is one of the biggest.

Anyway, rocked on my heels to get it so soon, but more to have a starred review. The fourth star in a row for Simon Westow, Jane and Rosie. Called “excellent fifth whodunit in the series. “Nickson keeps the story line intriguing despite the focus on a crime other than murder as he further develops his leads,” the reviwer says, calling the book a “gritty and surprise-filled mystery.”

Wow. Just wow. That’s possibly the best Christmas present I could receive.

Oh – I’ve almost finished the draft on the next one, too, tentative titled The Scream Of Sins.

    I loved this book. One question, was the 10-year old ‘resurrected’ girl called Catherine or Gwendolyn? The text calls her Gwendolyn but the dustcover calls her Catherine.

    1. Hi Carol,

      The error is on the cover, which was probably written before the vfinal editing of the text. Absolutely our error. My apologies. Thank you for pointing it out.
