TOP 500 REVIEWER - As always, Mr Barrett spins a great yarn

A fantastically plotted tale of secrets and lies played out through snappy writing by well-defined characters. Definitely another winner!

I was totally overcome by the revelations in the letter in the final chapter and it moved me to tears - not something I can recall ever happening to me with a book before.

Easily compares with Jeffery Deaver, Lee Child, James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell.

Excellent, exciting, witty, dark.

Another gem with a gripping storyline and surprises popping up with Eddie's work methods and exceptionally brave storyline.

VINE VOICE �" I was sorry to finish it and can't wait for the next offering from this author...highly recommended.

I won't spoil anything but I have to admit to my mouth hanging open on the last page!

Eddie, the main character comes out with some wonderful comments.

I find that if a book is good, I get way too involved and feel that I am living the story which is what happened with “Sword Of Damocles”.

This could easily be the basis for a successful television series.

This is my favourite in the series so far with just the right mix of suspense, humour and bittersweet moments.

One of the things I like about this writer is that the ending never lets down the rest of the story which can happen quite a lot.

What a superb read. Completely unexpected twist at the end. Kept me up into the early hours reading since I couldn't put it down!

The Author does a fabulous descriptive job setting scenes up and you almost feel as if you're in the thick of it.

Eddie Collins was very amusing, had me laughing a lot with his comments and I liked him from the start.

This is a must read book and you are certainly in for a treat. The ending - WOW.

It moved at a cracking pace and kept me guessing until the end.

It was very well written and I loved the banter and humour from the main characters.

It's a little different from the usual police procedure books as its focused around the CSI perspective which was really interesting.
