I only knew about this book because of someone else's enthusiastic recommendation. I'm so glad I did - it's a great read.

In a modern England lacking Roman and Noman French influences, the Saxons reign supreme. Out west, it's more Celts; in a walled-off Scotland, Picts. Funny and well-researched, the story also throws a different light on all kinds of actual modern happenings, societal attitudes, and generally, what is it is to be English.

The two central characters are a good match for each other. The plot is twisty and veers between Saxon mores and the world as we know it in a way that both bewilders and fascinates. The whole thing works wonderfully. I hope there is more to come.

Gunnar Cauthery reads well. Only a few editing mishaps disrupted the flow.

Wonderfully entertaining

Husband bought this in hardback in a bookshop and started it, immediately enthusing to me about it. I liked the sound of it and immediately downloaded it. Just finished it and I loved it!
So much amazing incidental detail colours the alternative-historical backdrop to a cracking detective story/action thriller. Very well done!
Now I shall keep quiet since husband still reading his printed version.

Fantastic invention and intriguing plot
