Review: The Eye Collectors by Simon Kewin
Simon Kewin's The Eye Collectors is the first in his Witchfinder General series and is not to be missed! This is Raymond Chandler for the twenty-first century, with morally grey characters and bleak settings. Add to that dangerous magic and you have a story which keeps you guessing and is a thrilling ride. A truly noir detective thriller.
