Critics Review

Praise for Nicholas George and A Deadly Walk in Devon

“Debut author George relates how Chase uncovers potential motives of other members of the walking group; in the process, Chase becomes a target for the murderer. George, whose own love of long-distance walking inspired the book, offers a satisfying mystery with a well-drawn interesting protagonist.” The Washington Post

“A fresh concept for a new series that offers readers the chance to see the English countryside. Those who enjoy Steve Burrows’s birding mysteries may want to try this nature-heavy cozy.” Library Journal

“This appealing, first-in-a-series debut is a variation on the closed-house mystery, with distinct
character personalities hiding deep enmities.” Booklist

“George’s series debut is crisply written, laying a solid groundwork for further whodunits featuring an unconventional pair of sleuths in Chase and Billie.” Kirkus Reviews

“If you’ve ever considered going on a walking tour in the English countryside, think again! Avoid jet lag and join the intriguing group of trekkers in Nicholas George’s A Deadly Walk in Devon and wander along a trail full of treacherous twists and turns to the absolutely gobsmacking reveal at the end of the path. Great fun!” —Leslie Meier, Author of Patchwork Quilt Murder

“You’ll want to walk just about anywhere with retired police detective Rick “Chase” Chasen, a modern day Hercule Poirot.” —Lee Hollis, Author of Poppy Harmon and the Shooting Star

“Take A Deadly Walk in Devon with Nicholas George in this suspenseful ‘quozy’ mystery, where every step uncovers a new secret in the picturesque English countryside. Full of colorful characters and plenty of plot twists, readers are led on a page-turning journey beneath the rolling hills and crashing waves … to the point of no return.” —Frank Anthony Polito, Author of Haunted to Death
