Chris Crowther spent 42 years flying a variety of aeroplanes and helicopters around the world. It was in West Africa that he renewed his love of writing, spending spare hours on helidecks out in the South Atlantic, penning articles and short stories for magazines and periodicals and, at the same time, working on his first full-length novel, BLADESTRIKE, a thriller eventually published in the U.S.
In 2002, he retired from flying and, for five years, skippered passenger boats on the Norfolk Broads, the setting for the “Jack Fellows” series of whodunnits. Now fully-retired except for his writing, Chris spends as much time as possible, sailing the rivers and coast with his wife, Sue
Having read the 3 previous books about Jack Fellows I looked forward to another enjoyable session. This book is an absolute load of rubbish in MY opinion!!! I read 4 chapters and I just couldn't read anymore. I'm just glad I didn't buy it, I got it through Unlimited. I gave it 1 star as I couldn't rate less. I normally only do the stars and not a review, but this time I had to warn others. I this had been my 1st read of this Author then I would never had read another of his books.
