Praise for Chasing Shadows
‘Wow! This book blew me away! The plot doesn't halt for
a pause with twists, turns and new discoveries unfolding in every chapter. With its
short chapters and John's concise, to-the-point writing style, this book was unstoppable;
it had me gripped from the first page until the shocking and genius
conclusion. A fantastic book!'
Dannielle Siddons. BORDERS, Leicester
An absolutely cracking novel. Fast and furious, it drew me and and I couldn't put it down.
Gloria Morgan, author of The Ducking Stool
I congratulate John Baird on proving that an intricate plot need not
confuse the reader. Told with clarity, Chasing Shadows is well characterised, and above
all eminently follow-able. At no stage of the proceeding did I lose track of previous
events and when I finished the book I could have written a précis embracing every twist
and turn. Baird writes with an easy flow, mastering the tricky business of cutting between
Edson’s first-person narration and other scenes described in third person. My eyes were
drawn rapidly from one page to the next and I would certainly look out for his next piece
of work.
Jeremy Lewis, NOTTINGHAMSHIRE TODAY
Book about town tipped for the top.
