What an incredible novel. Cumming’s strong and authentic writing explores the murkiest worlds of covert policing in the most gripping and compelling way. Exquisitely plotted and expertly told.

Obviously, I couldn’t agree more with Graham Bartlett’s comments. Or thank him enough for reading Borderline and gently pointing out what was wrong with it. Anyway, I am grateful to Graham, Lauren and all the other people who have kindly read and given feedback on the first in the series. (And the consensus was that it needed a series.)
And now it’s out in the world, so please make a proud author very happy and read it, share it, tell your friends, your neighbours and family members about it. I don’t normally make a big thing of stuff I’ve done, but because everyone has been so positive about it, I feel confident that, if you like a good crime thriller, there’s a very good chance you’re going to love this.
I received advance notice of a review that should be added in the next day or so. It isn’t from another author, book blogger or anyone else entangled in the industry. This is just an average reader, and the heading is:
More than a thriller – gritty, real, and emotionally charged.
I’ll take that!
Graeme, first of all, many congratulations on the release of the new book.
As for the upcoming review, I’m delighted it’s from someone outside the blogging and writing world. Usually, reviews are from those we know, and they are always only 4- or 5-star reviews. Nothing wrong with that, but reviews from those we do not know are worth much more.
Thank you, Hugh. This has been in a process for a long time so, in a way, it’s just a relief to get it out there. But I am excited about its potential. Advanced readers, beta readers and my editor have all been very enthusiastic about it. I’m hoping that review will go live soon – sometimes Amazon approve them immediately, others take days – but I know there’s at least one more on its way, and another has put in an appearance. So, I am very happy at the moment. Need to get focused on book 2 now!
