| Another brilliant read with a well thought out plot that kept me guessing. Yet again, Clement stole the show with his dry humour and his double denim. He’s from my era, it thrown into the modern world to save the day. Glad there are more Clement book ...more | |

You mean lie? I’d rather be an honest sinner than a virtuous liar. There’s enough of them about. Plagued
Far from being the weaker sex, these women were stronger than he would ever be. While he’d been helpless against the devastation unfolding around him, unable to do anything but try to control his emotions and appear strong, they’d been quietly taking care of all the details. Plagued
When it did kick off again there was no guarantee any of them would make it through to see the end. All they could hope was that death would be quick and relatively painless, something like a bullet through the head would do nicely. Plagued
