Fantastic first book in the Greg Duggan Series. Tough season In The Sun and Tough World are books 2 and 3 in the series. Excellent thrillers, fabulous action.
Greg is a character who left a lasting impression on me.
Although this book is based around Rugby, luckily you do not need to know the rules! Greg is a charmer, he has a wife and kids but also a mistress. At first, I thought he was a bit of a chancer and felt myself getting annoyed with him, but the more I got to know him, the more I fell a little in love with him myself. He is not perfect and he does not always follow the right path, but his intentions are always good and he will do anything to protect his family and his beloved rugby team.
Chris Berry has written a well thought out story that really does have something for everyone. His love and in-depth knowledge of the game meant at times I felt as though I was actually stood on the touchline, feeling every failure and cheering every triumph.
The plot is full of twists and turns and it certainly kept me on my toes because it never went in the direction I was expecting.
Congratulations Chris on publishing your first novel and introducing me to the wonderful and charismatic Greg and the world of Rugby. I sincerely hope this is not the last we have heard of him!
