Immortalised to Death by debut author Lyn Squire is like a time machine that takes you back to Victorian England, a place filled with secrets and mysteries waiting to be unraveled. The story revolves around the puzzling death of the famous author Charles Dickens. While it was officially declared a heart attack, some believe he…
Prodigal Son is the latest adventure thriller in the Orphan X, aka The Nowhere Man series by Gregg Hurwitz. I’ve followed this series from the very first book, Orphan X, that captivated my interest in 2016.
