Critics Review
Praise for MASTER AND GOD:
‘The narrative is rapid and the story well told with much sharp-edged detail. You can open this book and step right into a convincing yet extraordinary past.’ - IndependentDavis’s descriptions of Rome are vivid and lively…this is a great yarn - Daily MailWhile this book is a departure from her usual Falco novels, the trademark charm, piercing intelligence and ready wit are as abundant as ever… dramatic and enthralling, all the more so for being full of historical fact. The characters are intriguing and three-dimensional, and the whole is told with a humour and insight which means the reader will find the book impossible to put down. - An intimate portrait of resilience, friendship and love - Sunday Examiner, AustraliaAbout The Author
