Debbie Wastling liked George's review of Irish Secrets and Lies (The Bell Family Series Book 1): "A richly told story about class, survival, and the cost of ambition. The atmosphere is vivid, the characters feel authentic, and the secrets woven through the story add just the right amount of tension. I couldn’t put it down."
