Brilliant author, brilliant character and brilliant storyline.’ ‘Another great read from Ross Greenwood. Love the DI Barton series. Another page turner and keeps you guessing until the end.’ ‘What another amazing, addictive, can't put it down book. The twists and turns kept me guessing who was guilty, who I had the most sympathy for, who I wanted next on Santa's list and who would have a happy ending, who else would be next. I fell in love with Barton's character, he's the kind of guy I'd go for a night on the town with.’ ‘I've thoroughly enjoyed this series and loved all the characters that have developed over each book.

A rich cast of characters and an explosive plot kept me turning the pages until the final dramatic twist.'
