Sue Lord, Shots Magazine
“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.”

Norman Price, Eurocrime
 “a tense atmospheric narrative ... writes with such style and cleverness that her sub-plots ... are almost Austen like ... abounds with intriguing characters ... skilfully draws the reader into the story ... a fine addition to a series which has got me hooked.”

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
