Hello, I'm MG Mason, real name Matt.

I was born in Swindon in the 1970s but currently living on the Cornish south coast.

I'm a web content writer by trade but fiction is my first love.

How would I describe my work? Well, a friend once asked "have you considered writing a book in one genre without throwing two other genres into the same story?" Until that point I hadn't realised just how much mashing up genres defined my work.

interesting little spinoff from Rivers of London.

"The essential problem with this book is that it didn't know whether it wanted to be an extended account of the Kett Rebellion told via the characters we all know and love, or a murder mystery. It certainly failed in its aim to be both.

A poignant end to the series but suffers from a lot of the issues of the last few titles - it's overwritten.

That said, it's sad seeing the characters age and become weary with the political crises of the time, and to see the plot threads resolve. I d
