I recently discovered there is an author in the family. My cousin’s son-in-law has published thrillers, and I have just finished reading his first, “Killer Intent”.

I’m usually quite a slow reader of books, but this was a cracker, and literally a page-turner. Every word works for a living and there was none of the waffle that you find in some books.

Tony Kent – and that’s the author’s name – kept me spell-bound throughout.

I met him for the first time a couple of weeks ago at a family event. Another cousin asked if I would be buying a copy. I caused a bit of a chortle when I said no, I’ll be going to the library. Well, I mean, I didn’t know if I’d like it!

I’ll be asking the library service for the next one too.
