Praise for Sword of Damocles
~ My mouth was hanging open on the last page!
~ Hard-hitting and imaginative, this book is an absolute cracker.
~ The interplay between the characters is a delight.
~ TOP 500 REVIEWER - As always, Mr Barrett spins a great yarn
~A fantastically plotted tale of secrets and lies played out through snappy writing by well-defined characters. Definitely another winner!
~I was totally overcome by the revelations in the letter in the final chapter and it moved me to tears - not something I can recall ever happening to me with a book before.
~Easily compares with Jeffrey Deaver, Lee Child, James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell.
~Excellent, exciting, witty, dark.
~Another gem with a gripping storyline and surprises popping up with Eddie's work methods and exceptionally brave storyline.
~VINE VOICE - I was sorry to finish it and can't wait for the next offering from this author...highly recommended.
~I find that if a book is good, I get way too involved and feel that I am living the story which is what happened with "Sword Of Damocles".
~This could easily be the basis for a successful television series.
~This is my favourite in the series so far with just the right mix of suspense, humour and bittersweet moments.
~One of the things I like about this writer is that the ending never lets down the rest of the story which can happen quite a lot.
~What a superb read. Completely unexpected twist at the end. Kept me up into the early hours reading since I couldn't put it down!
~The Author does a fabulous descriptive job setting scenes up and you almost feel as if you're in the thick of it.
~Eddie Collins was very amusing, had me laughing a lot with his comments and I liked him from the start.
~This is a must read book and you are certainly in for a treat. The ending - WOW.
~It moved at a cracking pace and kept me guessing until the end.
