Customer Reviews

Still more Holt !

OK, I admit it my reviews for Tom's books are short, but I think he is an author you either hate or love ! I love his work, although some is better than other, so all I will ever say will be positive. Read and be assimilated ;-)

A pleasant moment away from a busy schedule

There is no God.At least, not for the next few days. OK, it takes "deus ex machina" (emphasis on the "machina") to get the story going. After that, it was a happy few hours of reading. The characters are enjoyable: a vicar having a devil of a time (or vice versa), a milling machine with a great personality, ...My professional "must read" pile is approaching knee-deep right now. I really can't take much time off. Every know and then, though, I need to read something like Holt. It's a little vacation for me, a half-hour at a time. "Only Human" is a nice place for that little (very little) vacation.
