"These are wonderful stories, some exotic, others erotic and all of them with a sideways glance at everyday folk and lives lived behind the curtains.""Hidden lives in far flung places and compelling characters makes for an excellent collection of short stories.

It is also a thriller, with several villains and unexpected dangers.""This is a fabulous book especially for those who love a long book to read. The storyline is so totally different to what I normally read but it had me up at all hours reading further & further to find out the ending.""So many books are enjoyed for the moment and then forgotten. This book creates a hold on memory.""The rating for a book, for me, has a large element of 'was it readable, was it believable, was it entertaining?' This is certainly in that bracket.
