‘From the reader’s perspective, which is privy to all viewpoints, the suspense kept building and building . . . with its consistently excellent writing and original use of both setting and imagery, this book is happily independent.’
Tabula Rasa

‘The Road is a gripping thriller . . . Fans of Stephen King and of thriller movies will not be disappointed by this offering. It is a very visual story and the scene changes, the use of suspense and changes in atmosphere all make The Road a book crying out to be made into a movie. Of course, readers won’t need the movie to be gripped by this tale. Its page-turning suspense and chilling sequence of events make it perfect as it is.’
