“the
writing is superb ..... I was strangely gripped and could not put it
down ... I shall now read the other three.”
Declan Burke, The Irish Times
“abducted
and injected with “at least three truth-drugs” ..... Cotton’s covert
observation of his own personality as he slowly, painfully, returns to
himself. .... gorgeous prose ..... a delicately nuanced character
study.”
Milo’s Rambles
“Atmospheric,
engrossing and intelligently written, Black
Bear tantalises from the very first page until its conclusion.”
Written Gems
“an
excellent book .....has inspired me to go back and read the first Peter
Cotton story, The Maze of Cadiz”

‘The Peter Cotton series is proving to be absolutely unmissable ... Monroe ably conjures up a world of murder and double dealing in prose that is more finely judged than is to be found in most genre fiction.’ Barry Forshaw, the Good Book Guide.
“commercial writing’s rarest beast – a gloriously defiant individualist.’ Jeremy Jehu, The Telegraph. More reviews
